Why Am I Still Awake?

I've been reading what can probably be called The Best Article About Interactive Fiction Ever. Note the use of the normal "ever" instead of the ironic "EVAR". I really mean this. You should go read it now.

'EVAR' is ironic?

Damn, I'm confused...

Great article. My yes. I was mentioned.

Damned good read (although I kept expecting the interviewer, when talking to Zarf to eventually refer to "Rematch," given his obsession with asking about games where one has to die to succeed). Gave me a bunch of good recommendations, too.

Rematch is Andrew Pontious, not Plotkin.

But it certainly was a good story around some interesting interviews. And the pictures are just great.

*nod* I should have been more clear -- I knew that it was Pontious, but the interviewer was so concerned with games where one has to lose to win (and all the interviews spent plenty of time referring to other games), that I just expected it to come up.
