Maybe I'm too sensitive to the struggle, but I think a lot of people that listen to music are trying to escape.

Michael Owen was made a captain ahead of me.

I am an ardent supporter of capitalism - but I also understand that while individuals have inalienable, God-given rights, corporations do not.

Games have always presented an opportunity to escape. But they are also an opportunity to go somewhere that you come to know well.
