I was fortunate to already be watching Giant Bomb, and coincidentally started playing Persona 4 right before this started. It was a great line-up of events. It also coincided with me uprooting my life and moving in with my now husband of 15 years. I still quote this series daily. Thanks to Jeff and Vinny, and everybody else involved, for this incredible series!

They look like the mirror's in most video games.

Of course not, but of course it is.

Just adding that I had the problem in Microsoft Edge (I know, I know). Cleared up after a cookie/cache clear and full exit and restart of the browser. The problem with the black screen is that it doesn't have any options, so you can't switch the player. If you click it, it starts playing audio but no video or control UI comes up. Hope this helps!

I think there was a mention of only being contracted for the 4 weeks. It seemed like they just wanted to highlight his work so people would watch it. The fact that they only aired one of his four episodes a week was kinda weird to me, especially when we're so focused on narrative continuity.

I need to compile an official list of best opening hours, because it's a fascinating thing. The three big ones I always come back to are:
Indigo Prophecy/Fahrenheit had something incredibly different. It's more fun to repeat it and see all the moving pieces and how they work. Shame about the rest of... David Cage's career.
Resident Evil 4 had that incredible village sequence.
Prey, the Arkane Studios one, blew my brain wide open with that first major reveal. Nothing else in that game particularly hit like that, but it's hard to top that in any case.

Hey all!

So the game I'm trying to remember was a piece of educational software in the early, early 90's. It would have been on an early Apple, but newer than a 2e. I remember that there were games designed to help you with an overall goal. I think a yard sale or lemonade stand? (I don't believe it's the game "Lemonade Stand," as I have looked that up)

The two clear things I recall were managing something with a basic spreadsheet, and playing a Sudoku like game. The latter had a cartoon dog or bear that played the saxaphone. He spoke in rhymes, but the only part I remember was that when you got a set of numbers wrong, his verse would end on "but something here just don't add up", or doesn't add up

If anyone happens to know what weird software would have been on a MacOS, I'd love to be able to remember.

A solid list. Hearthstone has been one of my core games this year, as well!

Thank you for putting this letter out there, everybody. Jeff, if you don't mind, I'm going to borrow your line about silence not being complicity. I've had a lot of friends trying to push me onto the side of "gamers are shit" and "If you're not tweeting and retweeting about this, you're obviously with them" type mentality, and my entire opinion on this has been to discredit them through ignoring them. I don't want to give them time, or power, and I don't want to risk getting somebody else involved with the negativity. I haven't had the words to quite express why I do what I do, but now I do, thanks to you. I hope, of course, that your words do mean what I think they mean. The last thing I want to do is corrupt them while I'm trying to get my own point across!
