She interacts with the environment, even when you're just loitering yourself. She anticipates and reflects your needs as a player, and that's a great way to make a companion that isn't just irritating dead weight through the majority of the game.īut she picks up on more than that. She appears to be programmed to act based on the context of a lot of situations - not just when you're low on health or ammo, but she always seems to toss a coin your way when you're looting every container in an area with desperate intent, or when you browse a vending machine's contents without buying.

The turned out to be a fortunate mistake. When I finished the read, I put the hardback on my bookshelf, and so thoroughly forgot it I didn't remember reading about the 27 year marriage of Darcy and Bob Anderson when I clicked "purchase" on Audible. The book sold well - all of King's books do - but I thought the stories were lackluster, or tried too hard to shock, or both. "A Good Marriage" was originally published in Stephen King's 2010 novella collection, "Full Dark, No Stars". The eerily floating gray-green words on a black screen sentences and paragraphs scrolling automatically at my exact reading speed and a late evening with the lights off and a glass of good red wine made that novella mean more to me than it ever did on actual paper. ![]() It also had the world's first mass-market ebook, Stephen King's "Riding the Bullet".
