voyage to mars

  So the first blurry scans of the first tiny screenshots from our first playable version have leaked onto the net, and while it's nice to see that people are excited, I'm a bit put off by PC Gamer's blurbs accompanying the shots - in particular the one that says "point and clickers need this game", because, um, Dreamfall is not a P&C game. See how that could be very confusing? Also, stating that "the weight of a whole genre rests on Dreamfall's shoulders" isn't very helpful, because it's not true. Dreamfall isn't even a traditional adventure, unlike, say, Syberia II. We haven't set out to 'save' anything or anyone: we just want to create a great game, tell a cracking story, and hopefully entertain enough people to keep this crazy ball rolling for another decade.

Look out for more print magazines using those very same shots - and others - in proper previews of Dreamfall during the coming weeks. Hopefully they'll be a bit more comprehensive in their coverage, and maybe also get their facts right (like, for example, not saying it's point-and-click). Leading up to, during, and after E3, there'll be a lot of new information about the game, as well as new (and arse-whopping) media - the visuals have improved massively since March - and probably also a website update. What fun. Wheee.

Freaks & Geeks is my new drug. I think I've mentioned before how much I like to watch TV-shows on DVD. With my crazy schedule - work and travel and whatnot - I don't get to follow much of anything on TV (aside from The West Wing which, luckily, is shown twice a week). When I do have time, it's usually during dinner, the weekend, or late in the evening, and that's when it's so convenient to be able to pop in a disc and watch a 45-minute episode of a show; a perfectly bite-sized piece of entertainment, sans ads. I'm still working through season two of Alias, season one of Firefly and The West Wing, and I just got seasons three of Futurama and Angel. While I have seen most of these before, they're all good enough to warrant a second, or third, viewing. Freaks & Geeks, however, I missed out on - I only caught a half episode here and there - and, seeing as it was cancelled after only eighteen episodes, I wasn't the only one who missed out on. The show is absolutely brilliant, with a spirited cast, well written stories, appropriate music, and a genuine 1980 vibe. The "complete series" box set is also of a very high quality, with plenty of deleted scenes, commentary tracks, and extras.
