I love Torchlight I can't wait to see how the MMO is down the road and I can't wait to see what the mod community produces in coming months. A Diablo Conversion is a must. I'm sure someone somewhere has already begun work on it.

Sounds like a good group of people working over at Runic. Glad to hear they did well with Torchlight.

Great guy. Another one of those few devs that generates respect for both the game and the company by not overselling or overdoing anything. Down to earth is where its at in the end of 2009. 
I would kill for an interview with Matt Uelmen.

There's a demo out for the game in case anyone wants to check it out. It's on Steam and the demo itself is pretty long. I've been playing it for about 2 hours and it's still going.

A developer who connects with it's audience via giving hands-on accessibility on their own game is a plus.

Been playing the demo, but man, seeing how awesome this company/developer is has really pushed me over into the "going to buy this now" stage.
 
Great interview Brad!  Seriously hope you have him back sometime.

awesome.  I didn't buy Torchlight because there is no multiplayer because for me collecting loot is only fun with friends.  I definitely look forward to their MMO.

I love the game and it was a good interview. Would have liked a bit longer interview. Since he basicly was responsible for the game that has set the standards for dark fantasy RPG'S.

Good interview but you guys need an interview area or something. Like a table or just a set of chairs. Standing in the middle of the room seems weird.
