I saw that scene while Tanya played the game. It was... profound. I hadn't expected it because I hadn't seen everything leading up to it, but I didn't even need to. The way it played out was exceedingly raw and honest. That phenomenon there – you hit it right on the head, the 'something to lose' element that I really want to work into my self-as-character in City of Heroes but am afraid to. It's one of the most difficult things to face.
Really, Earthbound accomplished similar emotional resonance, just in different places.
