    Thanks for that, but ummm, I'm not the Joseph Hewitt you linked to. I guess you could still say I'm world renown as I've designed games in the U.S., Australia and even Brazil. My personal site is http://www.working-as-designed.blogspot.com, though as fate would have it, the day they announce the game, Google's Picasa site has problems and my blog is full of broken picture links.
