    1. Mirror’s Edge
    2. Lingo (2?)
    3. And Yet It Moves

    ME has stuck with me as my favorite game for fifteen years now. I love it visually, the soundtrack is incredible, and the gameplay is fantastic.

    Lingo and its sequel are a bizzare, unmatched puzzle experience. I don’t know what else to say there.

    And Yet It Moves is… something else. An indy platformer from the heyday of Indy platformers. It is an interesting example of how story can influence art style.





  • It’s starting to go that way. I work in event food service. For a long time, our university clients in the US didn’t want alcohol sales. Now, that’s starting to shift but we are required to use ID scanners. They do some verification that catches bad fakes and underage IDs, but they also store logs of every scan. Later, if there’s an incident, the university can ask us to dump the logs and we can tell from them when and where a specific person purchased alcohol anywhere on campus.

    It isn’t storing a complete, usable image of the ID, however. Just the data encoded in the barcode.

    There’s a skill tree, equipment (not clothing/weapons like most RPGs, but still equipment), and crafting. That’s enough to make it an RPG mechanically.

    There’s also the perspective definition. You are embodying a person separate from yourself and you are expected to make choices as them. Textbook RPG.
