A question that is becoming increasingly more moot is whether to submit to print magazines or e-zines. You could just submit to both, but then my little teaser blurb wouldn't be very much fun now, would it? Then again, that would be what I'd recommend. Curses! I foiled my own punchline. *hangs head in shame* Umm, read past the break anyway? Please?

It's a classic scenario that spans almost any RPG or FPS game I can think of. You come upon an enemy; do you attack, use something in your inventory, or make a tactical withdrawal? Hurry up, the enemy is getting closer, and it doesn't look like it wants to hug. Well, maybe that one strapped with explosives wants a hug, but it won't end well. Thus are the complications of writing for games. Abilities, inventory, and options. They can make or break the plot and playability of a game.
