    I found Jeff's comment about games surpassing other story telling mediums funny. Other than my feelings on games not being good story telling device, because they are games first and foremost(I do enjoy games stories though). Someone watches a movie what do they say if they read the book, well it was good but the book was better. Someone plays a game of a movie and they say the movie was better.

    So book>movie>game what cataclysmic event can change that? Movies haven't surpassed books and they've had 100 years or so to try, and they aren't getting any closer. So what gives the belief this will ever change?
