For example, in games likeDungeons & Dragons,players have the choiceof being warlocks, making pacts with potentially malevolent otherworldly beings in order to gain magic and become adventurers. One wonders why in a game likeDiablo,where there’s no shortage of demons with bottomless magic, there hasn’t really been a class of that kind before....

Not every musician can have a home run on the charts. Whether it’s for a single or an album, not every piece of music is guaranteed to be a hit, even forthe most legendary musicians and bands. For some musicians who reach legendary status, it feels like every song they touch turns to gold (or platinum). This is not entirely true.
