I was totally going to correct them that the planet was called Nal Hutta, but then I read the article.

Oops.

Another review of The Path has just gone up on Russian site StopGame. Score is 4.7/5. If anyone can make sense of this Babelfish translation I’d be very interested to know what the hell it’s on about.

and you happened to be a balding russki and the cheeky sandvich thief was wearing a cap and running shoes…

Just to clarify: by ‘feeling nothing’ I don’t mean I would gun them down if they stood between me and a sandwich that I wanted. Well, unless it was a really nice sandwich

Feeling nothing for random strangers, eh? I think there’s a word for that.

Kieron: Indeed. I felt great pleasure at my brother’s wedding – and at the birth of their child, my delightful niece. It’s random strangers that I feel nothing for…
I’d read Take A Break if I wanted to be empathetic with people I don’t know at all.

MacBeth: Depends how empathic you are towards other people’s pleasure, really.

Despite my love for gaming, using music from *any* game for Important Real-Life Events just feels intuitively wrong to me, regardless of how meaningful/lovely/soaring one might find the tune. I think it must boil down to deeply rooted societally-induced shame of being a gamer…

Perhaps here we have inadvertantly discovered the answer to Are Games Art? The answer being – not until someone can play the music at their wedding and be proud to say where it’s from, and not lie to their parents about it.

Then again I would probably inwardly cringe if someone used a movie soundtrack to walk down the ~~aisle~~ central passage way. Guess I’m just a snob…

Oh and the flip-side of marriage being *your* day where you can do what *you* want is that it’s of little or no interest to anyone not involved in the actual wedding, and hearing how nervous you were etc. is really quite tedious. It’s like gushing over how you feel this unconditional love for your newborn child. Newsflash… it’s not news.

Gap Gen: It’s one of those things where you say to yourself “Should I bail because of this fundamental flaw in the “joke” or forge on in the hope that it will be met half way and envoke swinging or something”
One of those options results in having to do actual work a lot sooner, so the choice is easy.
