Tell me why I’m playing #SpiderMan2 for the first time and the side-quest where Spider-Man helps this guy ask his boyfriend to homecoming has me in tears. 🥹😭

Grateful to Siskel Film Center for last night’s excellent Q&A with one of my favorite filmmakers, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, following a screening of his luminous Palme-winner UNCLE BOONMEE WHO CAN RECALL HIS PAST LIVES. 💚

Letting everyone know that I’m a completely different person now (I binged all of season 1 of THE SUMMER HIKARU DIED yesterday).

And for those who have never heard of CyberFlix but are just fans of computer game history, you'll enjoy Nelson's extensive collection of news clippings, which he kept while he was learning about the game industry.

Nelson also kept tons of promotional materials from CyberFlix. We're partial to this flyer for the Japanese localization of their 1993 game Lunicus, featuring new artwork by Akira creator Katsuhiro Otomo (!)

This collection gets deep into the history of CyberFlix. Their secret sauce was DreamFactory, a proprietary engine that helped non-programmers write and design games.

DreamFactory used the movie industry as a metaphor for game development, with tools like CentralCasting for managing your "actors"

A little bit about Nelson...

Andrew Nelson (second from left) was the co-founder and creative director of CyberFlix, a company in Knoxville, TN that made interactive movies.

He was actually a magazine writer, not a programmer or design! How? Why?

The Andrew Nelson papers include hundreds of pages of draft scripts for Titanic: Adventure Out of Time, along with research, outlines, and correspondence from development.

The drafts have some big differences from the final game that we can't wait for fans to analyze up-close

Today we remember Berserk creator Kentaro Miura, whose loss continues to be felt by fans of his work. His legacy will continue to have a long-lasting impact.

Deeply, thoroughly enjoying Defy Reality/@microprose.bsky.social’s #Neyyah demo!

Scratches that late 90’s point-and-click itch with some gorgeous graphics, neat soundtrack, and a lore I feel like I’m only scratching the surface of. Super excited for the full release!
