Unrelated: This is real turning point — can the players I have in mind for a game withstand the unrelenting deluge of information I shovel at them as I try to absorb a thousand pages (counting the web) of information by osmosis and force of will?<\/address>\nAnyway, when I’m at this point, you notice\/imagine tie-in references in everything you see and read. “Remember that dirtbag who dumped you right before senior prom when you’d already bought a dress to match his tuxedo? Use that S.O.B.! So, I read that, and the first thing I think is “weird, that’s exactly the same rules you use for who you can make Anchors.”<\/i> I’m at that stage in learning\/absorbing a game where I eat\/sleep\/breathe the thing.
