Let's play . . . you be the . . . the reader person, OK?
You're . . . you know, sitting there
all smart and everything with your coffee . . .
and you're like: 'Hey, why don't I check
my e-mail?'
And
then I'll be like the . . . the ebr e-mail-writer person
and I'll be all like: 'Hey, if you want to check out
something that's super-smart,
click right on over to "Second Person,
Role-Playing and Story in Games and Playable
Media"
at ebr
www.electronicbookreview.com/thread/
firstperson
which is, like,
the second part of
Noah Wardrip-Fruin and Pat Harrigan's
smash-hit three-part trilogy
"First Person" "Second
Person" and the future "Third Person"
which are all groups of essays about Story, Performance and Game . . .
(I guess all trilogies have three parts. Duh! Anyway.)
. . . and you'll be like: 'Dang!
that
e-mail was right!
It is soooo smart
to start in Section One
by looking at old tabletop role-playing games
from this, like, intense literary-criticism-style point of view."
Plus then the coolest thing:
WHEN you
get to ebr
www.electronicbookreview.com
what you GET is the exact MIT-Press-co-published-style text
PLUS
it is utterly possible for people to like
RESPOND to one of the "Second Person" essays
and submit their
OWN, disagreeing essay
and you'll be like: 'Wow! This is like a
book
except it's, like, ALIVE!
ebr where have you BEEN all my life?"
Let's play that, OK?
