Gah! The smug arrogance of some Adventure Game fans - The constant, self aggrandizing desire to paint the rest of the public as vapid dullards who aren't prepared to think.

Guess that explains the extinction of the crossword and the trivia quiz.

Maybe people find Adventure games too slow. Maybe people have been put off by some of the poorer titles. Maybe people can only afford a certain number of games and choose to spend their cash on lengthier and more engaging titles from other genres. Maybe they prefer games that several people can play at once...

No. Must be because they're thick. Unlike the Adventure Game Audience, solely populated by the cream of Dr. LucasArts Academy for gifted intellects - 'Pushing a pencil through a keyhole and catching the key on a scrap of paper since 1832.'

It’d be less tragic were it not for the fact that so many other genres now use puzzles that wouldn’t be out of place in an AG. Or that these genres often include wonderful stories, engaging writing and creative design.

(Edit to add: This bitter explosion wasn't aimed at crabapple. It currently looks like I was suddenly enraged by Hidden Objects Game discussion.)
