The two bits below are related only by the movie trailer.

Has an adventure game ever done an old-fashioned newspaper office movie? The staccato patter and many cranky characters seems an obvious fit.

I've always wanted a game where the sword of Damocles will drop and the player can do nothing about it. Everyone knows they're in the end times but not exactly how close. If the whole world was a millennial cult because that is the objective reality. Fallout does the anodyne after. STALKER probably comes closest but it's a limited disaster poke into the world--which probably makes for a better game.

Back in the day my eschatological pen & paper fantasy world with enormous firey sigils wheeling through the sky like phases of the moon was a flop with the D&D crowd, and that's being generous. "Dude, this is depressing." What if astrology wasn't bullshit? didn't assuage 'em. "Dude, no beholders?"

Instead of using fantasy to safely abstract race and class into orcs and elves, take the scary stuff and paint it across the sky.

Of course, my other ideal game is a multi-generational turn based something-or-other in Medici Florence, and that one is definitely not happening.

Grats! Might I recommend Lastpass? Smother with kisses wonderful. [Image Can Not Be Found] Free (pay version adds a few things), secure*, vacuums up all the passwords (and generates gnarly new ones). Only need to memorize one scary master login and golden for every browser on every machine you have, including smart phones. Quickly moved onto the list of five best pieces of software I've ever used, and that list was born in 1986.

*Why it is secure is a bit complicated, but the smart paranoid folk have been jabbing it with sticks to find chinks...then using it.
