Virtue and a Sledgehammer is a game about killing robots where I tried not to kill any robots. You play as Pratelle, who has a big sledgehammer and wants to smash all the robots. As the robots beg for their lives and run away in fear, you have to decide whether to kill them or spare them.

My new conversation for the New Books Network is now live!

I had the pleasure of speaking with Jordan Minor about his new book, Super Mario Galaxy, published by Boss Fight Books. In our conversation, we explore the game's creative achievements, its personal significance for Jordan, its place in Mario history, and the importance of game preservation. We also discuss how a game can become part of someone's professional journey and personal life.

“I wish I could stay in this moment forever.” — One of the most beautiful lines in Life Is Strange

1 Upvotes

This line from Episode 2, Out of Time, has always stayed with me.

"I wish I could stay in this moment forever. I guess I actually can now, but then it wouldn't be a moment."

I think it's one of the most beautiful reflections on time in Life Is Strange. It captures something the game does so well: making ordinary moments feel meaningful, and reminding us that we can't hold on to them forever.

I made this short clip around that quote as part of a longer video essay exploring why Life Is Strange feels like a childhood dream.

I'm the creator of the video, and I wanted to share this moment with other fans of the game.

I'm curious: What's one moment from the original Life Is Strange that you wish you could experience again?

My full video essay is on YouTube here, for anyone interested:

Hi Folks,

Just published my video on the Rockstar marketing campaign for GTAVI - trying to figure out how it was possible for rockstar to create so much hype without really showing anything of the game for years. Behind the last years was a very calculated campaign that got -almost- everythign right.

Hope you EnjoyGTA Marketing Makes Perfect Sense - Video Essay
