  1. This is very interesting. Thank you for your research. It reminds me of something Jason Scott said at Notacon last year [during his Mario 64 panel], that it's amazing, considering how big of an industry videogames are now, that very little in the way of academic study has gone into the field.

    You can watch the panel here, it's fascinating:

  2. alistair is a bro

    I am being all goody two shoes on my first run through, alistair and leliana and wynne and all that.

    Next playthrough I am going to be a badass dwarf and actually use Sten, because I think I'm missing a lot of great shit there.

  3. I was asked personally to share my thoughts on virtual instruments so here goes:

    Virtual instruments and sampling are essential, in my opinion. When computers became powerful enough to run something like ProTools, the entire music industry changed. For the better? For the worse? That's open for interpretation. It definitely changed for the cheaper, though. With studio time and instrument prices being as expensive as they are, why not just download the synthesizer you want, or samples of any instrument for free, legally or otherwise, and save space, money, and time practicing? Now anyone can make music for free, which I think is fantastic. Of course, you have to take the Crystal Castles with the Ronald Jenkees, but you had good and bad music in any century.
