Heavy Rain' is a cousin of the 'Choose Your Own Adventure' books.

Game Over is a very frustrating game convention. In short, it means, 'If you were not good enough or did not play the game the way the designer intended you to play, you should play again until you do it right.' What kind of story could a writer tell where the characters could play the same scene ten times until the outcome is right?

If you played 'Heavy Rain,' there are very few cutscenes and very few moments where you don't have control.

Innovation is a big risk. It can also be a big reward - but a big punishment if you fail.

It's like being at the kids' table at Thanksgiving - you can put your elbows on it, you don't have to talk politics... no matter how old I get, there's always a part of me that's sitting there.

Even for natives, French satire is rarely laugh-out-loud funny. Its unspoken punch line is typically that things have gone irrevocably wrong, and the government is to blame.

Government tends to stifle innovation, and it abhors improvisation. Any good military strategist will tell you that a battle plan rarely survives past the first engagement. After that, you have to improvise to survive and to win.

I do think that people ought to have some control over their money, rather than the government, just mandating to them how they're going to invest their money.
