A couple of folks decided to run the high school novel through its paces on the NES. I love the idea to literary classics being turned into retro video games.
How about:
1. Super Lord of the Flies – A beat’em up!
2. Catcher in the Rye Sandbox Action title
3. Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer Point and Click Adventures
4. To Kill and Mockingbird RPG
5. Call of the Wild Adventure
Sounds like some good literary gaming!

One day you go out and buy two shirts. One catches your eye immediately and its one that you could use to cruise on special occasions. The other is maybe a bit a plain but you’ll wear it on your lonesome or during errands. It is literally a beater – you don’t pamper it all – you just use it and never think twice. You can wear it when you are sick. The first shirt – well, it holds out for a “special occasion” – you take care of it and treat it well.
Once the “cruising” day comes you don your fancy shirt and skip off into the town. Maybe it doesn’t happen in the first hour or the second but at some point you realize that you’d rather be wearing the other one. In fact, the other one feels more like you than the fancy one ever will.
How come we aren’t supposed share our birthday wishes? All of mine usually involve spending time with someone I consider significant. It seems to me if I never say anything, it would never happen. Than again, I say things all the time and nothing seems to happen.

You wake up one day to find yourself in cycle. It’s not necessarily a bad cycle – in fact it can even be a good one by most standards – but it has a defined pattern.
Almost as if you can feel the curved path of each day like you can feel the ridges on an old vinyl record.
Each day in its arcing path makes the melody of the months seem to go faster the rhythm of each individual day.
I don’t give a shit about the Super Bowl.
