Well it can't be difficult to program such a game. All right, maybe you have a point but this is just me. I personally would love a game where I can fill in interesting dialogues and be timed on it. For instance can anyone tell me whereelse in windows do you get hot key field controls except for the one everybody knows where you set an application launch keystroke? I would just love a timed game where I can have large dialogues to workthrough. If it's a ridiculous idea, well that's just me.
