I just finished listening to the BBC's Foundation series radio dramatization (my first exposure to Asimov's works, actually), so this made me laugh quite a bit! :D

I really hope that Telltale will, somehow, someway, make a Game of Thrones/Song of Ice and Fire game. A traditional RPG makes the player feel empowered through mechanics like leveling up, acquiring abilities, and loot—exactly the opposite of what the license needs.

Definitely darker than any of the previous films. I think it's gonna be an improvement though! From what I've seen of the trailers, Andrew Garfield carries the Spidey role better than Tobey Maguire.

The scale, the characters, and the politics. I agree with Mr. Plunkett that these qualities help define the "A Song of Ice and Fire" / "Game of Thrones" experience — which is why I don't see the RPG (as we know them) as the best medium for it.

Thanks! I'll remember that next time.

Aside from how they demanded money from suspected pirates, CD Projekt seems to be on the right track. By removing DRM, they're giving pirates less incentive to crack and distribute their games. By making great games and added value, they're giving people more incentive to buy their product.
