The Good Book

I've been reading Well Played 1.0: Video games, Value and Meaning. I'm about half way through the book and would recommend it to people interested in game design, and possibly games journalism (although them as much). It breaks down a huge range of games across multiple platforms, genres and levels of obscurity, including Super Mario, Portal and something called "Parrapa the Rapper". Anyway, it's all interesting stuff.
The good news is that this book comes in two delicious flavours: tangy lime and paperback, and zesty orange free PDF.

As you may have guessed I'm very tired, so this is all you get as far as posts this week. I'm very sorry.

And, by the way, if one day you happen to wake up

Complete Protection From The Living Dead

Too long has it been since my last post, and little to no reason to I have for this. However, in my recent absence I have come across The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks. Although still in the first few pages of the book, it is making for an interesting read. It first came to my attention when my brother, Phil, brought the book home one day. Glancing through the book I read the differences between 'real life', voodoo and Hollywood zombies. After he had finished with it, the book found its way into my possession, so while I am out in the country tomorrow I will have a good delve into the watery depths of this, without a doubt, extremely helpful book. Who knows; some of it's 'teachings' may wind up influencing Zombietopia in small ways.
