I am back, and I am excited.
Marriage has been wonderful so far, and nobody sabotaged my computer while I was gone.
The only negative thing going on at this moment is the Scrolls trademark lawsuit nonsense, and I think I came up with the perfect solution:
Remember that scene in Game of Thrones where Tyrion chose a trial by battle in the Eyrie? Well, let’s do that instead!
I challenge Bethesda to a game of Quake 3. Three of our best warriors against three of your best warriors. We select one level, you select the other, we randomize the order. 20 minute matches, highest total frag count per team across both levels wins.
If we win, you drop the lawsuit.
If you win, we will change the name of Scrolls to something you’re fine with.
Regardless of the outcome, we could still have a small text somewhere saying our game is not related to your game series in any way, if you wish.
I am serious, by the way.
Fuq yeah notch, fuq yeah.

He keeps saying "Bethesda" but isn't it Zenimax who is suing him? Perhaps I misread something on the internets.

Zenimax is the Parent company.
Same thing, I guess.

If the company and lawyer mean serious business I doubt they'll want to play Notch's little game. He's just going to make himself look like an ass when reality slaps him in the ass. Larger Companies DO NOT play nice.

He's probably doing it because the chance of them being allowed to trademark or copyright a single, non-invented word that you can find in the dictionary is very close to 0%. Countless games have the word "swords" in it for example, no lawsuits there.
Scrolls is just the plural of scroll, and is only one of several words in the elder scroll game titles.
It's almost as bad as when the mcdonalds restaurant company tried to sue some family because their family name was mcdonald. They were outright rejected. Don't remember when that was but I saw it on the news a very long time ago and I remember it because of how much I laughed.
