But Bainbridge's case isn't the product of a passing infatuation. The Warcraft Civilization is the outcome of two years of research, including more than 2300 hours playing the game. Bainbridge has simultaneously run dozens of characters (who he winningly refers to as 'research assistants') across a thorough cross-section of servers, races and classes, and he has played to the maximum skill-levels attainable; he also hosted Azeroth's first-ever scientific conference.
Note that in the A-team nobody ever dies. They hardly even hit their bad guys with the shots they fire. It's rediculous once you start paying attention to it, really :D
Chris Dahlen meets the director of interactive fiction documentary Get Lamp and remembers how rich a world that only costs the time it takes to write it can be.

Sounds like an infatuation to me.

Perhaps it is a fun game?
"He's on fire!!!"
I really hope they capture the spirit of the original.
Wouldn't it be ironic if motion control in general were losing its attraction, and the sony wand and natal both end up selling very badly..?
