MTV's Multiplayer blog has done something neat, and got DIII's Designer, Jay Wilson, to comment on the community's altered screens . For example: "More rain?

I think our artist just put [the rainbow] in there because they knew that’d be controversial. And I’m sure they were like, “Well we’ll see how far we can push it.” Beneath the fun, it's an interesting look in the reasoning behind decisions. I'd love to see more of this kind of directors-commentary stuff. Until then, go read.
