Bungie - I have time for only ONE of two things; Play video games or reading. Reading IN videogames? What is this?! A Book!? You Cray. /hip

Reading out side of videogames, about videogames I could be playing? Cray times two - Yo. /stillhip

------
Am I close Jellybean? I think I got the gist of it pretty well. ;P

Pretty sure no . . .
Here is something I posted in another thread that I think illustrates the point.

I heard the new Quinten Tarentino movie is coming out soon. Apparently it is 2 hours of non-stop action, special effects, and blood; it gets really intense. If you want to know who the characters are, the reasons they are fighting each other, or what is happening from scene to scene, you can just bring your internet enabled device into the theater, download the "Movie Story Cards(tm)", search through them for relevant information, and read along during the movie!

Don't know who that creepy guy following the main character is?! Read all about his motivations in the "'Creepy Guy' Movie Story Card(tm)".
Wondering what this sense of urgency is everyone is talking about?! Read about how the main character is in danger in the "'Why are we all gonna die?' Movie Story Card(tm)"
Confused as to how a sword could be so devestating to an army of people with guns?! "Movie Story Card(tm)" not yet released, buy our next movie for more!

Why is this kind of thing acceptable in video games today?
