I got an early look at Jason Rohrer's Sleep is Death. Full story at Kotaku, which I would love for you to read, because this game is like nothing else I've ever played and deserves all the exposure it can get.
At Gamasutra, I've written on why I think the demise of the console game has been greatly exaggerated, and on wondering why I'm really not that into FF13. Y'know, emotionally.
Check them out, please, and lemme know what you think. Meanwhile, did you get an iPad? I can't really tell if I would be interested in one or not -- it'd need to be financially possible for me to know how I'd feel about it, and it's not -- but no, I don't have one.
I had a dream I did, though. In this dream, I wandered into my messy living room to find one that I'd apparently forgotten buying, lying on top of a blanket. Realizing I did indeed own an iPad, I felt silly for making fun of people who couldn't shut up about them on Saturday. However, in this dream, my iPad needed its screen cleaned, and as I tried to polish it gently with a tissue, I caused an enormous gouge to appear on its face. Deciding I'd rather have no iPad than one with a big scratch on the screen, I tossed it aside, reasoning, "guess I'll never use this again."
