  • I think Jason said he recorded almost an hour of the interview with me. While we were setting up he explained that he measures a successful interview in terms of sentences that make it into the final product. Some of what I was saying was just putting into words the background and context that he might need in order to tell the story, in case he can't get a first-hand source to provide whatever detail he needs. So he did ask me a small number of questions, and I saw him nodding and getting excited over some of the things I said, so I gather he found a few passages that he thought would be interesting. But I'm far more interested in hearing how he puts together the clips from the many other sources.

  • Yes, it would have been great if I could have assigned this DVD for the Video Game Culture and Theory class, but it's still a work in progress.
    Yes, in many ways that Colossal Cave trip has been the highlight of my academic career. Well, finishing my PhD was probably a bigger professional moment, but I worked hard for that. The cave trip felt like magic, since I found myself in the company of caving experts who did everything they could to make me feel welcome and comfortable.

  • Why? Why couldn't this have been around in January when we spent all that time on text adventures?
    Semi-related, you have now become a hero of geekdom in the eyes of my ultra-geeky tech friend Steve after I told him the story of your own personal Colossal Cave Adventure.
