Don’t Act. Don’t Think. Make Twine Games.

The "Slavoj Žižek Makes a Twine Game" game. Created by Cameron Kunzelman of This Cage is Worms (previously). Inspired by Ian Bogost (previously).

I have respect for Bogost, and enjoy Slavoj very much, so I'm not sure what to make of this. It's slightly undermined by an apparent confusion between Lenin and Stalin - but perhaps that's deliberate, I haven't read it through....

Hmmm, you might be on to something there!

Too much linear progression for that to be a game, imo. It also wasn't very funny, imo. I mean, making fun of Zizek is like shooting fish in a barrel. I still love him. And yeah, thumbs up for Ian Bogost, but this one ... not so much.

I started working on a project in Twine last night and I haven't been this excited about writing in a long time, like my brain is a Rubik's cube and Twine just finished one of the sides.

He mumbles to himself: "What the fuck is a porpentine?"

He makes a note to advance a Hegelian theory of the crystal laser goddess.
