The week in IF #9

In interactive fiction on June 5, 2010 by georgek

New Releases: A Sadly Hopeless Deja Vu, by Taro.

ROTW: Nusco reviews Duncan Bowsman’s The Ascot: “Very good against all odds”

QOTW: “- “It’s not just ______ anymore…” Look. I know what you’re trying to do here. You’re trying to put it into a trend-story framework (whether there’s enough momentum in the scene to even qualify as a trend story right now is another question; I’d love to think there is.) You want IF to be the Comeback Kid. You want IF to be cupcakes. But this sentence is as cliched as ledes that mention “POW! BIFF!” and it carries a subtle put-down: namely, that IF is not just the crap it used to be. Which is irritating to those of us who don’t see it as crap.”Self as Fractal
