Ferret Baudoin: Ah, the tools - the lovely tools. I don't know what people think about what most internal game developer tools are like to work with. Maybe they picture these fantastically intricate tools with almost mystical functions like the Make Fun button. Sadly, the reality is sometimes like trying to build a sweet sports car with a hammer and a 2x4. For best results, bash head repeatedly until you maybe hallucinate seeing your dream car before you pass out.

LOL!!

I thought you guys would appreciate seeing this.

Haha, quark is actually pretty good if you compare it to some of the internal tools I've had to use. =)
