[edit] Trivia section

Trivia sections on Wikipedia are considered very bad form. All imformation within this section should be dispersed to apropriate places within the article. --The_stuart 18:23, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Someone wrote to Ray Ivey of JustAdventure.com saying Charles was "a faggot that should be taken out into the streets and shot." Shortly after this was made public a number of gay magazines in America interpretted it literally, they then proceeded to contact Charles asking if they could do interviews because they liked the idea of a gay video games designer.
  • Charles has always had a particular interest in the narrative techniques of interactive entertainment and how the medium will develop with advancing technology so in 2003 to come to terms with modern story telling methods, he enrolled himself in an open University course in York about creating films using modern cinematic techniques, but shortly afterwards pulled out due to time constraints, most likely due to the imminent release of Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon.
While I agree with you on the poor form, removing the trivia and placing it in here, doesnt solve the problem, in fact it makes it worse by obscuring it, in the hope someone will find the talk page then reincorporate the facts. Whats better is to leave it in the article and have wikifaith that it will eventually be incorporated into the main text seamlessly. - UnlimitedAccess 10:21, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
