Game Over … Please

"I want to see a game that is designed to run for only two years - with a two-year story arc - and a definitive end-date. Much like television watchers are fully aware that [they're watching] the last season of Buffy, or that Firefly is definitely not coming back, the players would experience that bittersweet feeling of 'it's soon over' rather than having something dragged out until it's a mere zombie of its former self. Angel went on far too long, and as for 24 MMOGs can learn from this. Live fast, die young."

"Surrounding public buildings with a variety of obstacles has become the obsession of homeland security units nationwide The problem is that huge hunks of reinforced concrete in city streets are not only an eyesore and an impediment to movement, they're a blatant and unsightly expression of a siege mentality."
