For me, it sort of depends on the what else is going
on...if it's something minor, or part of an "things
are going to work this way for the world you're
watching/playing in" it doesn't really bother me...

I'll admit, the Hackers stuff was pretty
ridiculous...but I mean how do you make what's
basically a guy at a computer visual
interesting...which raises another point, how do you
do that in a game? that's something i've never been
good at...
