Such a good idea.

I’m not a gamer mind, but there was this one word game that my kids had me play that required you to kill goats and other iconic creatures in order to be able to get new words. I liked the word-puzzle aspect of the game but every time I had to kill a goat…well, I don’t play it anymore.

At the time I thought about what kind of metaphorical creatures I would be willing to kill in order to play. The first one that popped into my head was the (then) president Mr. George Bush. That got my not-so-nice side cackling. Doubt a game like that would pass social muster because Mr Bush is in fact a real person, but this new idea of Penny Arcade’s – Wow! Is that going to raise a hullabaloo!

Can’t wait. Should be quite a ride; of which Dan Brown and Philip Pullman can only dream.

I’m so supportive, so appreciative of the effort, I’ll buy the game even if I almost certainly won’t want to play it. As I said, I’m not a gamer and those particular icons never had a life in my head so I don’t need to kill them. But for those of you who do need or want an extra rabbit hole to maximize your exit strategy’s efficacy, play on.
