Alpha testing in games development should be made by the programmers only imho. I disagree. I think I know zamzx (If he is who I think he is...), and he comes from the same game community like me (Vendetta Online). That game was free alpha for quite some time, and it did it quite some good (I think...

@ Usagi: It is an allusion to Mifune Toshiro, yes... I just liked the actor so much I decided to steal his name and use it for my avatar (I have been doing so since 2000, so it kind of grew on me). If you see a toshiro online, chances are not all too bad it's me :) I see what you mean by intuitivity...

Kalexon: What are you referring to when you say 'early humans'? They found that people in the neolithic age were already very capable and made bows akin to those used in England during the english-french war in the middle ages. Also, for strings they often used the intestines of game... As for aimin...
