    Don’t give up hope on The Dresden Files folks. Dresdencity.org and other fan supported sites are working hard to get attention of TPTB, and get 2.0 in their minds for an upcoming season.

    I think the whole idea behind this “game” is sick. Using and missing peron to promote something shows where the creators decency is.

    Lance, get a clue. This isn’t the kind of thing anyone shoud use for “advertising” a movie. I bet Warner Brothers loves all the complaints, might cost them some sales I would imagine.
