Is this your Kickstarter?

And you'll die someday, so I guess you shouldn't check for traffic before you cross a busy street.

…People studying film? Filmmakers? Pretty much anyone with a professional interest?

I remember that when Wizards of the Coast updated the Call of Cthulhu game about a decade back or so, the sample module in the rule book was built off of this idea.

I'm curious about the marketing research behind the currently popular passive-aggressive headline style that insists on things about the reader that aren't true. I mean, it worked, here I am, I'm just curious why.

You may not like it, but people say it.

Be forewarned: I'm playing the 2014 re-release of KOTOR 2 with the restored content mod, and I recently reached a point where one cut-scene on a planet triggered just after I'd left it, which bumped me back to the planet with no way to leave. You will still want to keep those warp cheats handy.

"Mass Effect"—still one of my favorite series—botched the morality play completely in its second installment.

Silent Hill 2 had a special surprise in store for people who did that. It wasn't very nice.

It's fine.

Silent Hill 2 also had the nice touch of changing the ending you'd receive based on how you used those sparing, life-sustaining items. Heal yourself as soon as possible and the game deduced you wanted to escape in the end. Walk around wounded despite the healing items available to you, and it assumed you had a death

Following creators does seem purer and there's even a logic to it in a superficial way.

Was anyone complaining about the "right" of DC to do "Before Watchmen", though? I don't think even Alan Moore was complaining about the "right". Because there's about a million other things to complain about with that concept, leaving aside the execution of it.

But here's the thing: it's better for readers and creators for readers to follow good creators, who tend to be a necessary (if not always sufficient) element of a good book. Which raises the question of why people should follow the Big Two IPs at all in comics form if they keep to the traditional model of disposable

It seems like the problem has nothing to do with whatever this year's line-wide editorial mandate on the characters happens to be and everything to do with Marvel losing good talent behind their books, leading to a severe case of Bendisitis with complicating pseudo-Whedonism.

If you were ensuring people didn't forget something morally horrible he'd done, you might have a point. As it stands, his work and life are at worst inoffensive so you look like a jackass instead of someone making a stand. *shrug*

I always felt Dana Snyder owed him a creative debt.

I imagine you think you're addressing someone or something with this…?

By that "theory", Monty Python and the Kids in the Hall were/are all gay, giving you a sizable amount of false positives per solid hit among those troupes. The only reason it's whipped out against Perry so often is because his work's trite traditionalist morals make it seem like an effective way to mock him, but,

We'll see, I guess.
