Hey! I just noticed something really funny.

The Discover article tacked on to the end of that page was written by Gary Taubes. I assume there is only one science journalist named Gary Taubes. He also wrote this book, which I own:

World of Warcraft has a series of related novels, and the game series Myst/Riven also had a few novels. While I haven't read the WoW books (my nephew has them, maybe I will read them), the Riven books weren't spoilers at all. However, they weren't included with the game.

I think feelies are awesome. I wish there was a way to offer them, maybe through Etsy or Printfection. Wouldn't a t-shirt with your game name be awesome?
