After unlocking the Defender in the demo, I recorded some footage of one of the arena battles. The pace of combat in Too Human is quite brisk, I've completed the demo three times now, and I've enjoyed it thoroughly. Has anyone tried any other c1asses besides Defender and Champion?

Not an editorial post obviously (I'm holding on my next editorial until my 10,000th post / Too Human thread in a few days) but I think it's worth your time to listen to this:

1up Yours with Denis Dyack

I made the decision today that I absolutely must contact the man, so much of my worldview is similar to his, and so much of what I'm doing here he frankly deserves an opportunity to have a say on. I haven't played Too Human, if I'm building a thread to discuss it, a blog post to talk about gaming journalism, and a 10,000th post party on what System Wars does to the culture of gaming, there is no man more important for me to contact. I feel personally and ethically that it's something I must do.

I confess, this is the first time I've ever made an appeal of this nature. It's the first time I've felt such a pressing need to do so - and I will do everything in my power to bring what I feel is right to the task. If he personally can have a chance to look in on that, wonderful, if he can't (he is a busy person with limited time and after all, has no idea who I am) I understand that as well - strangers on the internet have not been kind to him in the past.

However I swear this - either way, what you are going to receive from me in a few days will be the finest work I have ever produced on GameSpot. I will do my best not to make it my last work either - I have blessings from a few moderators for it, it's not breaking any rules, but I feel your are entitled having been my friends here for years to get something worth your time in reading.
