I'm finally finished with Persona 3, after spending 200 hours and playing through twice. Well, not with The Answer, but I need a break - I'm under the illusion that continuing the story is somewhat gratuitous, anyway. It was an unbelievably good game, though. Really, I can't believe how much it wrapped me up in its world; games just don't do ( Read more... )

This is the most amazing thing I have ever heard. EVER.

So Braid is an excellent game and I would recommend it to others, but please stop writing, Jonathan Blow. I understand you are very enthusiastic to tell your story, whatever it is, and don't want anyone to actually miss the profundities you've imbued your game with; but when you talk up the storytelling potential of the medium, have bits of ( Read more... )

I have decided to try, and have gradually, over the years, come to put in action, designing web pages the right way; separating content and layout with CSS, using
