Are the savepoints of this game!
You can monster-bash ’til your thumbs are blue
But they’ll get you, just the same.

We need to run with this. At the next production meeting, let’s all figure out which common subject to review, and then anyone who wants to try their hand at a non-conventional format should do so. We’ll compile all the responses into one article and publish it, so that everyone’s included.

Haiku, tanka, limerick, rhyming couplets, iambic tetrameter, free verse, terza rima, sestina, strophic, et cetera…yes.

And Seal, that link you provided gave me *exactly* the template I needed for an idea I’ve been cooking up for the art team. You rock.

Flowcharts, for instance. Concept maps. Or maps such as this one: http://xkcd.com/802/

I will if you will, Norse.

It’d be a blast, I think.

There’s something to be said for games where there’s no risk of death as a means of upping the tension. Myst, of course, would be an excellent example of this. With only two exceptions, there weren’t really any ways to “die” in that game, and it’s still one of the most engrossing titles I’ve ever played.
