Jesus Christ on a stick! Shall we all kiss some more Gygax arse? Oh Great Gary, your every assertion is law! Oh, Great Gary, just because you said something must make it truth for all time!
Well, he's dead, so now's a good time to assert that it's true because disagreeing will look insensitive?
Actually, I don't think that's what Pundit is getting at. More like, "While we're thinking of Gary, I'd like to remind you of what he said. And I think he's right."
I mean, part of me agrees and part of me disagrees. Like, I enjoy immersion and everything, but it doesn't have to be all immersive, all the time. I like to mix it up. So, not only do I figg're that there's a middle ground between X-treme immersion and 'people who do this are crazy', but that there's a middle ground between, "and therefore, we should play immersivly/immersion is unhealthy".
Which, hopefully is saying nothing new.
