"The essence of a role-playing game is that it is a group, cooperative experience." ― Gary Gygax Topic(s): Experience More From Gary Gygax "When AI approximates Machine Intelligence, then many online and computer-run RPGs will move towards actual RPG activity. Nonetheless, that will not replace the experience of ‘being there,’ any more than seeing a theatrical motion picture can replace the stage play." "Gaming in general is a male thing. It isn’t that gaming is designed to exclude women. Everybody who’s tried to design a game to interest a large female audience has failed. And I think that has to do with the different thinking processes of men and women." More In Experience "When I was 25 years old and had no money – and didn’t know how to make movies and had no experience – I was able to get $25,000 together, and that film was ‘The Brothers McMullen.’"― Edward Burns "When you go to the movies with your whole family, it’s a different experience. For some reason, it’s something that you’re all doing together and you take away something special in that."― Vin Diesel "I’d hesitated to have a wedding because my gay and lesbian friends don’t have that right."― Kathy Najimy
