I feel like I’m missing something – but I’m often left with that feeling with your games Stephen. It’s frustrating. I often feel like I’m skimming the surface of something very deep, yet have a life-jacket on that’s preventing me from diving a couple of feet…

I don’t think it’s a joke. Digital theater maybe. In any case, it’s a queue — in theme, setting, and code.
