Parchment - which I feel is often cited these days as being the miracle pill which will enable IF to gain massive adoption.

Re: Gameshelf video episode #8 - Modern Interactive Fiction
Phew... some interesting stuff for newcomers, but I don't like the general tone.

Re: Real-time games
Hmm.... what you describe, I wouldn't call 'real time', but a subset of 'randomised elements'.

What could happen if I look away from my computer monitor in any ...
Re: Get Lamp
I suspect anyone interested in IF won't need an external review to sway them
That assumes everybody knows about the product in the first place. Personally, I assume this documentation attempts to appeal to a broader audience than the readers of rec.arts.int-fiction. Also, I see this kind of review ...

Re: BUG: Clicking on games in Your queued submissions broken
Is it related the the type of submission? I.e. what kind of submissions are we talking about? Updates of existing games? New files? Etc.
