MPR, SOE, and TLP response: The Sequel

     I can't really think of what else to say about these three pieces.  I believe I said all I could when looking at them in Digital Humanities.  I guess to rehash I'll say The Last Performance is sort of odd.  That Sweet Old Etcetera is a pretty neat work on an existing poem, and requires a second viewing to see all of it.  Y'know, get the full experience.  Finally Mr. Plimpton's Revenge is pretty funny in its own way, but the payoff is a bit underwhelming (why isn't anyone just whelmed?).

Hitchhiker's Guide

     Well I seemed to have gotten farther in this piece of interactive fiction than any previous ones.  Somehow I managed to survive being run over by a bulldozer after it killed me?  I honestly think I may have broke the game.  I've heard a few times in class that Hitchhiker's Guide is a lot easier is a lot easier if the player has read the book or seen the film, but I have not had that luxury yet.  I went into this completely blind, and it shows in the screencast.  I think I'm lucky to have ended where I did.
