Big update
Sep. 2nd, 2008 08:00 pmGetting into the swing of college. Typography homework is on ancient languages and early phonographs: I'm also doing some work on the final Quark project, a newsletter.
I really do like typography homework - I'm geeky enough to look at the Courier of the text I'm typing right now and mentally go "Square-serif, light, medium x-height ratio, medium m-length, kerning such that the characters are equidistant and it doesn't look off."
Also, I seem to have an irrational love of geometric sans-serif typefaces, like Bauhaus and the Myriad family. Maybe it's because I watch / read / game sci-fi so often.
I could post a Why I Play Bliss Stage entry, easily, but, well - every single interlude resulting from this week's game counts.
( Why I Play Bliss Stage, In Conclusion. )
No other game I've played has ever consistently moved me to tears. It is a game designed to inspire roleplay of terrible and beautiful poetry.
And, Ben, please feel free to put that on the back cover of Ascent Stage, and attribute it to Elliott Belser.
