Strange weekend.
Lots of little sidetracks. Oh sure, I got some more gardening in, and finished up sanding Trevor (thank god), but it was mostly filled with sidetracks.
Talia’s Dance recital, for instance…where I sat and critiqued the lighting in my head whilst waiting for her turn.
While interesting, the main little detour of the weekend came in the form of an unexpected source from thatgamecompany.
“thatgamecompany designs and develops artistically crafted, broadly accessible video games that push the boundaries of interactive entertainment. We respect our players and want to contribute meaningful, enriching experiences that touch and inspire them.”
In the form of their game, Journey.
“An interactive parable, an anonymous online adventure to experience a person’s life passage and their intersections with other’s.”
Really just a DIFFERENT experience. Little instructions are given, and you soon find yourself running around talking to tombstones with random people you meet. Real people, also playing, but you never know who they are.
Somehow fitting I find a game all about tombstones as I’m wondering what on earth I’m going to do for ours.
eh…why not?
