I’ll have to bring this up when I teach Hamlet in the fall. Maybe we’ll have a class where we just play the game and discuss the implications for the play and its continuing social relevance... ideas are flowing. Thanks Read more

I’ve been waiting so long for this game! This is perfect timing, as the production of Hamlet that I’ve been dramaturging opens tonight.

This looks dope, thank for the info. Read more

I’m seriously glad to see this article today, considering I bought GttOD during the Steam sale on a friend’s recommendation, despite the fact that I’d never heard of it before and didn’t actually watch any gameplay before buying it. Read more

Remember... remember us. Remember that we once lived. Read more

Amaurot is really one of the best dungeons the game has done. The way Emet narrates the events and how instead of area names what pops up is part of the narration.

I enjoyed the Pokemon Crystal run yesterday where the couch commentators broke out and did an impromptu Pokemon Blue/Red race on their GBAs during a relatively dull part of the Crystal run. The entire Crystal run is about 3.5 hours and thus on the longer side since it was glitchless Any%, but the energy and jokes made… Read more

It’s great to see Nintendo allowing a little more experimentaiton with their franchises and genre mash-ups. Read more
