I tend to stay away from games as I tend to get easily addicted. It last happened with Darwinia over xmas, and it sort of happened with Audiosurf this Easter. DesktopTD is another evil one.
Lovely, lovely old US typefaces.
The worlds first universally inaccessible game! Contains a nice checklist of no-brainers.

Isn't this grand? If I had $400 spare I'd buy the entire Archive Type collection.

This is one of those insane things your parents casually drop in to conversation before which you had no idea as to their existence, 'oh, yeah, in the 50's we used to have x-ray machines in shoe shops..." - WTF?!
Good introduction/overview of interactive stories, sort of similar what Will Wright talks about in his SXSW 2007 keynote.
Nice illustration of the various journeys a user can take in a branching story (from the Cave of Time series)

Things I saw at the Masque of the Red Death at Battersea Arts Centre. It was exilherating but the narrative was completely fragmented, just a series of sensations really, a bit like reading compendium of unconnected poems. Well worth it though.
Man sat on bed, beats, then hangs his wife on the washing line - 1st floor
Man giving woman wine in a bar with wine bottles & telling story of black cat, also talked about the Ball towards the end - 1st floor
Bits of the House of Usher (?) in a dining room and on the stairs - ground/1st floor
Took part in a seance - 1st floor
Had the Philosphy of Furniture (?) read to us in a small room - 1st floor
Sat in the Caberet bar & heard a song - up some stairs then down (1st floor)
Saw the feast / orgy in the dining room - ground floor
Saw the party & arrival of Death at the end of the evening - ground floor
