In its infancy, maybe an idea before its time, but worth keeping an eye on. Maybe something to look toward for post-retirement... The execution is hard to understand, especially if you read their message boards (sounds like its still ending up as a branching narrative in its alpha testing trials). Might be a function of someone seeing the goal, but constrained by limited imaginations. Thanks for the dialog! See ya! - Chris My thoughts, exactly, Greg.

The execution of the project seems a little vague to me...it's not clear exactly how they intend to get to a game which is fully interactive and fully story-based. But I'm certainly hoping for the best...it sounds like it could be a tremendous project. Greg This sounds neat, particularly since (as you heard) I’m a huge fan of the story.

Or better?!?! Loved the discussion around Hellgate: London. I'd like to recommend you check out the site www. storytron .com. IF it works the way its creator intends, it would be the next generation in computer games (hopefully video games): a game that truly builds on player choices, rather than a pre-designed branching narrative or something that seems to have choice, but is really linear. It's still way early in its development, but the concept is really interesting. Would love to know what you think about it (not necessarily on the show... here is just fine). Can't wait for the next 20! See you on legal #21!!!! - Chris Woo hoo! 20th episode and it was just as great as the first 19!!! Or better?!?!

We've already started to track down a "designated reviewer" for that show, so at least we won't be doing anything too dangerous... :) T.R. Thanks very much, and we’ll try to take it easy.

Enjoy your 21st...don't drink too much champagne though...it'll go to your head.
