Lorelei And The Laser Eyes - a Puzzle Game

Puzzles are a kind of analog telepathy. The puzzle designer conceives of an idea, and then attempts, through the expression of their work—a maze, a cipher, an encoded message or cleverly hidden clue—to export that idea to someone else’s head, in as clean a fashion as possible. It’s the same process that happens in nearly any artistic endeavor, really, except made more direct and pure: Puzzles, unlike stories, have solutions, essentially demanding that you follow the designer’s intent all the ...

Puzzle Platform Games

Some things just go together. Cereal and milk. Cake and ice cream. Puzzle games and platformer titles. The third combo may not be as well known to non-gamer audiences, but that's all about to change. On any console, puzzle platformers offer a high degree of entertainment and satisfaction to players.  The two genres match because they both offer a mixture of exploration and ingenuity. Jumping from one place to the next is fun, but figuring out where to jump is even better! Puzzler platform gam...

Last of Us - Theory Reveals a Heartbreaking Secret the Game Only Hints At

Video games are full of different upgrade systems that don’t logically make sense outside of the medium. When adapting a game to another medium, like television, one of the biggest challenges is how to handle gameplay mechanics. HBO’s The Last of Us has subtly been weaving gameplay systems into the show’s narrative in a way that deepens the characterization of the show's cast. One mechanic in the game that the series has adapted is the "Supplements" that Joel collects in his travels. But this...

The Battle over Street Play in New York City (1910-1930)

"Where there are kids, there is play." Iona Opie "The setting of boundaries is always a political act." Edward J. Blakely and Mary Gail Snyder "We begin with the child when he is three years old. As soon as he begins to think he gets a little flag put in his hand."  Dr Robert LEY, leader of Nazi Labor Front.

Biggest Turkey in Game Show History

By Adam Nedeff, Researcher for the National Archives of Game Show History You bring the stuffing, the cranberry sauce, and the pumpkin pie. For Thanksgiving, we’ll bring you the biggest turkey in the history of game shows: You’re in the Picture By 1961, Jackie Gleason was already a bona fide show business legend.

The Legend of Zelda: Who Forged the Master Sword?

Almost every long-running video game franchise has a signature weapon that shows up in almost every entry. For God of War, that weapon is the Blades of Chaos. For Half-Life, it’s the crowbar. For The Legend of Zelda, it is most certainly the Master Sword. Also known as the Blade of Evil’s Bane, the Master Sword is one of the most frequent recurring faces of the franchise. Even though most Zelda games star different characters, all of whom are named Link, the Master Sword is the same weapon...

Advanced Everything2 the Role Playing Game (idea) by Footprints Discaimer - take what you want seriously - at your own risk Let's face it - Everything2 is a role-playing game. I mean, what do role-playing games (RPG's) have?
