“The magic of comics is that there are three people involved in any comic. There's whoever's writing it and whoever's drawing it. And then there's whoever's reading it because they are creating the movement. They are creating the illusion of time passing.” PeopleWritingThreeReadingMagicMovementInvolvedCreatingIllusionDrawingPassingPassingsComicTime PassingTime PassesIllusion Of Time Author:Neil Gaiman
“It always felt like the price of being a writer was that you would - even in the most terrible moments, there was a little phantom version of you sitting on your shoulder with a notebook going, I can use this. OK, look at the way that the light is glinting off the broken plastic on the road next to the blood. You can use this. And it was always a very strange feeling.” WayLooksLittlesI CanMomentsUseFeelingsLightNextFeltBloodStrangeBrokenTerribleSittingShouldersVersionsPlasticNotebookPhantoms Author:Neil Gaiman

“I think there's a lot of scope in broadening the way videogames approach depictions of masculinity, which is still extremely narrow in scope.

“It's nuts that we've reached a situation where representing female characters - let alone minorities - is considered "social responsibility" and not, you know, depicting half the world's population.

“I want studios that make story-based games to start taking their stories more seriously. And that doesn't mean hiring a big shot writer from Hollywood; it means that story becomes integral to making your game. I don't see how you can achieve that without having an in-house writer that sits next to the designer, helping them make their levels, talking with the engineers about where we can tell the story more dynamically, pushing at technology.” WantMeanHelpingStoriesBigsNextGamesHouseLevelsTalkingTechnologyAchieveShotsHollywoodStudiosDesignerPushingEngineersHiringBig Shots Author:Neil Druckmann
“It's kind of depressing when you hear the anti-science rhetoric in America, but I think that people are just afraid of change, and I think they're afraid of disruption, and I think they're afraid of the feeling that the rug is being pulled from underneath their feet. People are used to things changing maybe over many generations, but they're not used to seeing things change within their own lifetime. The problem is people are going to college and graduating, and realizing that their major is obsolete.” PeopleThinkingKindFeelingsProblemAmericaUsedRealizingSeeingGenerationsFeetCollegeMajorsLifetimeGraduatesDepressingRhetoricThings ChangeObsoleteDisruptionGoing To CollegeAfraid Of Change Author:Jason Silva
