stimarco, I found all your posts about story and games to be very interesting and insightful. I understand and agree with your point about story and games being part of the same thing - a while ago I read something similar, that led me to realize that books are just games with such a good story that you don't notice that you're not actually affecting it. :) Or something like that.

It's also cool that you mentioned On Intelligence; I really enjoyed reading that book. And I'll be looking into the Masks of God series you mentioned.

Anyway, I'm off to the continuation topic"! :)
