J7
Though I haven't been keeping up with Interactive Fiction as much as I'd like, the announcement of Inform 7 is incredible. If you haven't heard, nearly all of the programming code for a game is writing in sentences that read like normal English. I flipped through the documentation, and it seemed more or less the same in most fundamental aspects. Then I flipped through some of the examples, and my mind was blown.
Hopefully the effect will wear off. I don't know if it would be a good thing if I were more interested in reading the source code than actually playing the game.
Elsewhere, I've finally started playing Resident Evil 4. I still find the gameplay inferior to Killer 7's.
MonNYTX: 3:45. TueNYTX: 5.

Speaking of 7s.
Yea, I liked Killer 7 a lot more in many ways than RE4. I fear the "OMG" comments from the interwebs so I rarely state that RE4, while fun and exciting at points, and much better than previous RE titles, bored me after a certain point and I never finished it. Though it was a fun ride at times.

In Killer 7, the only way to move is to run.
In Resident Evil 4, the only way to move is to creep forward cautiously.

Oh, wow. That's so great. I don't follow IF like I used to, but wow. Now I almost want to make a game. I tried with Inform a long long while ago, but never got very far.
I wonder if I know any semanticists who would care, because wow. That is awesome.

I started reading a page of "Reliques" at random and was going, OK, so this is a good outline of what Nelson wrote, but it's...it's...holy crap, this is the actual source code?
I'm blown away.
