Now slightly less fearsome.
Let's talk about Planescape: Torment. It's a PC game that was released around 2000. Thirteen years ago! Well that's a bummer, but that's not what this is about. There's an ongoing debate or discussion on whether games can constitute art. To me, this is the game that ends that conversation. Everything about this game was great, but the storyline was (and still is) one of the best stories in a game I've ever experienced.
Here's the problem with a game like this. The graphics, and in some ways the gameplay, just don't hold up. So I'm afraid that it doesn't age well like a lot of other art does. If I told someone to play it now, it would be lacking. And that's a shame.
The good news is though, is that a sequel just got kickstarted! It's a very exciting time. Not only that, but Patrick Rothfuss is going to be on the creative team. If you're not familiar with him, he's the author of the very good Kingkiller Chronicles. If you're into great fantasy novels, I can't recommend them enough.
And so ends my first rambling blog entry. Oh! RIP Jonathan Winters.
