Hello world

Games are fascinating, particularly as a piece of literature. Shame it's sometimes hard to find the ones worth talking about.

Slowly working through my backlog in the leadup to uni time again. And finding that I wish I had more time.

Whatever.

Not quite sure which is more interesting, the story of an individual in extreme circumstances, or an individual that's supposed to be an everyman, in said circumstances.

Which is to say, I enjoyed Transistor more than I enjoyed Bastion and I think the story had a major part to it. Though the music and aesthetic is also nicer in the former. Friends are telling me I'm crazy.

I'm not so sure. I could make an argument, but I'd be uncertain about which parts are subjective.

I guess that's part of the charm of playing games - it's subjective and interactive.
