Thanks for making me laugh uncontrollably.

But I think scrapping the webseries and focusing on a game is ill-advised. Certainly it's not what I want. I would actively oppose the move, in fact. The series is better, I believe, at conveying the story Monty wants to tell. The problem with a game is that characterization takes a back seat to the requirements of the player, and the action aspects would overwhelm the story even more than it already has. And it's already been demonstrated that action is not the be-all and end-all of the story. Furthermore, since the show (and therefore the plot) is partially a Bildungsroman, I think a non-interactive depiction is best, since important aspects of that are difficult to portray in a game without making it window-dressing.
