In the old four element scheme, we have earth, air, fire, and water. I’m the creative demipyromaniac, so I’m always a child of fire. That said, moderation and balance in all things. It isn’t just a trite saying. It keeps people from any number of ill fated early ends and stray disasters. Or at least from unintentionally making themselves miserable.
I did say we were going to make an excursion in order to explain where I nabbed the needed insight to make some of the design update for Frontier. I didn't tell you I was going to drag out an old debate that is, to some, deader than the animals and plants long ago turned into coal and loam and peat. I'm sorry. I'm going to do it though. You're going to wince, a lot of you.
It is a long detour, but it also just happens to be where I discovered how to make a better random mission generator. High irony from a game that has such a linear plot and can be described by some as "just another pretty shooter".
