Heh, I don't know if Daikatana is really something I'd use as a reference for my product, but then Newtek can't be blamed for how its tools are [mis]used. All of you modheads out there might be able to get an early start now, so that you'll be up to speed by the time Halo comes out. That is, if you can manage to acquire Lightwave.
