Former Irrational's Ken  Levine who has only recently finally received the acclaim he deserved would totally aprove of everything said here. Favourite quotes: "Trust me, it's a lot harder to do what we did in Bioshock than to do a 20-minute cutscene. I could write that stuff all day long." "Cutcene's are a coward's way out" and "And I've got a message for game writers who put in unskippable cut-scenes: I hate you. You suck. Go write a graphic novel and leave us gamers alone. My goal as a writer is for the player to want to see the cutscenes. Earn your audience. Forcing people to sit through your glorified fanfic is the gaming equivalent of date rape."

I like that guy.
