Love the article. For every point made, I could think of an example or game where I fit the mold perfectly.

'A violation of the rules is an affront to a geek.' This also applies to my taste in movies & shows. I loved The Matrix, right up to the point in Reloaded where he kills the squids in the real world. What!?! No, that is against the rules. They were clearly defined. Super-powers are in the Matrix only.
