Reading comprehension. Two little words that certain individuals will never seem to understand. When I say "the staircase is gone", and the staircase was the only way for enemies to reach you, this means you are safe since you cleared that floor. Oh, no, wait, you're setting up a defensible zone with explosives instead of bolting for evac when the part of the city you're in is about to be torched... [i]Why?[/i]

The reason I can't write smarter plots or more original environments is because the average person isn't capable of understanding it. I don't even say that with malice or a sense of elitism, either. I find it rather frustrating, actually, but I can at least use it as an opportunity to try and teach and uplift those who want to learn. I like those people. They could have the most god awful reading comprehension ever, but if they want to learn, I can help them, they can get better, and everything only gets better from there.

Then you have the people who refuse to learn, who want me to hold their hand and tell them everything in explicit detail, then laugh at me for my "feeble" and "simple" stories that they easily "figured out". Because they were incapable of reading between the lines and needed to be told everything. Those people are the first and foremost on my kill list and I do it without shame.
