ROTW: Victor Gijsbers reviews LASH — Local Asynchronous Satellite Hookup
QOTW: “I do think one of the immediately powerful and ultimately undermining things in interactive narrative is that the interpretation-as-choice is necessarily more explicit. This gives us more oomph initially but it allows less room for constructive ambiguity. You’re eating your cake rather than having it.” — Alexis Kennedy
