As with any set of rules, there are always exceptions. In my designs, I hope that if these rules cannot be followed, it is for artistic reasons and not because I am too lazy to do it right. In Maniac Mansion, in one place or another, I violated all but one of these rules. Some of them were violated by design, others by sloppiness.

Developed by Sam Farmer and presented by Double Fine Productions, Last Life is a sci-fi noir adventure about a transhumanist colony on Mars.

If this is true, they’ve done a pretty bad job of it. Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

The smoke and mirrors are best not investigated too closely, but no adventure has ever forced so many people to think about every decision for what it will say Racing Games about them as much as what it might do.

If only it’d become an industry standard that everyone photocopied like how the entirety of Hollywood photocopied Vogler’s 7-page "Hero’s Journey" cliff notes.
