<p>The Xbox 360 version of <strong>Torchlight</strong> was my breaking point, and so I wrote a little editorial about tiny text in videogames, which is one of the worst new gaming trends currently invading this industry, and <a href="http://firsthour.net/editorial/tiny-text-is-the-plan-the-plan-is-death">you can read my sophisticated rantings over at <strong>The First Hour</strong>.</a> I&#8217;ve also linked the image above, which will hopefully help you with your clicking.</p>
<p>And thanks goes to the late and great James Tiptree, Jr. for help with the article&#8217;s title.</p>
<p>So, yeah, read on. Don&#8217;t worry; the font size over at <strong>The First Hour</strong> is perfectly fine. Let me know what you think. I can&#8217;t really imagine there&#8217;s many people out there in the world that actually enjoy squinting at their TV screens, but hey&#8230;some people are oddjobs.</p>
