watermark. he keeps using that word. I do not think it means what he thinks it means. If he said watershed then he would be closer to the mark. Oh well I guess we all can't graduate at the top of our class, or bother to google a word or phrase to make sure it makes sense before we use it. But I will agree this game looks awesome. The graphics are practically out of the uncanny valley, which is a feat unto itself.
I'm on the other side of this where all these pretty women are asked to do is dance around and have a good time, and they get paid for it. They're not being coerced or forced, they're hired. Who's taking advantage of who?
training isn't quite the word for it. practicing fits better. I consider training to be an activity not directly related to but beneficial to the outcome. Such as lifting weights, running, calisthenics, etc. where as if say a basketball player might do those things then practice their dribbling, shooting, free throws, etc. I don't know if there is anything a gamer can do to actually train per se. If there is something non-gaming related people to do in order to improve their gaming skills i'd love to hear about it.
@Bowser05: some of these DLC bits offer a time vs. money option as some have said. i've read posts from folk about not having time to play to earn loot since they have full time jobs and kids. So rather than invest the time they don't have to get loot they don't mind spending some cash instead.
I feel this may have deeper and more damning implications for the franchise (as it is now rather than series) as a whole. Figure, if he's not done composing or finalizing his ideas for the 6th book and this season of the show is already shot and set to be released, he may have rushed some of his plot lines and thus be releasing an incomplete idea. Though his admitted trouble with deadlines doesn't seem to impede the show at all. But in the end, this may cause the book and show to diverge in strange ways should he change his mind from what he was thinking when he finished the screenplay for this season and what he has in mind when he completes the book. Worse yet if he decides there were things he didn't like in the show but feels compelled to shoe horn them into the book due to a narrative having already established. He may have made his job that much harder letting things play out like this.
