Dude!

, Sunday, March 03, 2013, 07:05 (4287 days ago) @ Cody Miller
In games, the fun must come from the interaction. I don't care how you choose to interact. Wander and explore the world. Try to master the mechanics. Piece together your own story. Do whatever you want. But when someone says they only care about the story, then they have no business spending their time in an interactive medium.
This is so, so unreasonable.
I know someone who plays games because books that talk with him don't exist. He loves stories - but his imagination isn't enough to take written words and turn them into the universe he yearns to participate in. Who the hell are you to tell him he's doing it wrong?
