Hell no. The essential difference between games and movies/television or books as a source of entertainment is that they’re participatory. The player’s choices during interaction affects the exact outcome.

That’s not to say there’s anything wrong with being entertained by others making those choices, but they won’t be yours.

Sounds to me like your body is giving your sound advice. Now throw in some sort of chilled drink based on coconut, pineapple and dark spiced rum. Your liver demands it.

No, I don’t remember any of those people, and I doubt they care about me either. While we’re on the subject, that is far from the only way in which I’m nothing like Ryan Gosling.

It really doesn’t. I highly doubt there isn’t office politics going on inside Microsoft, Apple and Google, but unlike them, Linux development is all public. If anything, that’s likely to curtail a lot of bad behavior rather than encourage it.
