I thought this was a tv series?
But then again I'm an avid reader. When reading a book the story unfolds in my head as a movie, picture sound and colour.
Only recently learned that's not true for everyone.

My favorite writer is Terry Pratchett.
His writing leaps from the page to full HD action in me head.

Now that's an ability I'm envious of..
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied
