No. I want my games to be GAMES, not Skinner boxes. Entertainment & Arts

Depends pretty strongly on the game, no? You can probably get away with it with the likes of Fortnight, but I wouldn't suggest it with Planescape: Torment. Entertainment & Arts

I think people just love good movies- and Predator definitely qualifies. Entertainment & Arts

You might want to give the Vorkosigan saga a look, then; it's far more character-driven space opera than flashy tech porn sci-fi. Entertainment & Arts

Because for most parts of most books, it's not necessary. Adding it in would up your page count to a ludicrous degree. Far better to just put in indicators of who's speaking, or add in things to... Entertainment & Arts

I'll still be gaming when I'm too old and feeble to move a mouse, and have to have my attendants control FTL for me. Being able to shout "fire all guns! Target their bridge!" and have it actually... Entertainment & Arts

I wasn't aware of this. Which one (s) is it based off of? Entertainment & Arts

Would you rather they regurgitated yours? Entertainment & Arts

Leia. Star Wars was huge on a level it's hard to imagine today, and while Wonder Woman did predate it, it was considered silly and campy even at the time. Star Wars also kept going, to a degree... Entertainment & Arts

I lack the requisite self-hatred to get involved with it, but what REALLY baffles me is why any judge on the planet would allow you to copyright a LETTER. "X" occurs in the Roman, Greek, and... Entertainment & Arts

As opposed to imitation gamers who play imaginary games? Entertainment & Arts
