Yeah, I've definitely stumbled across similar things before as well. I think the key is using the device sparingly, because otherwise the story becomes about the device, rather than the device being used to enhance the story. Kind of like CGI in movies. So I'm hoping I can strike that balance. We'll see, I suppose!
