Eric. That was literally the worst joke here on Electron Dance this year. I think you get the gold in this category.

Personally, I preferred CCH Pounder in The Shield. Then again, I never like The X-Files that much (although give me Darin Morgan’s work any day).

H Pounder? She was really great in The X-Files.

Hey – I just realised their could conceivably be comments and there were! Nice!

As to the “why” of it all… well, who knows why they do anything, really? So much of the time we just do…

Nicolau, I don’t think Pippin quite knows the answer either! But he has ended up compelled to keep producing new works.

Having read and watched quite enough about Pippin Barr, I’m still not satisfied with his answer to “why do you make games?”.

I am sorry, I haven’t had time to write that email, but I will make sure it is on my calendar for today.

@Eric: I think Pippin should lift that quote for Safety Instructions’ blurb. That and my own suggestion of “type ’til you bleed”. Oh, also, I’m still waiting for an e-mail. I don’t see it. I keep refreshing my mailbox. But nothing. Let me just check again. Nope.

@PhillAsh: Well, well. Surprised to see you here down in the comments, Mr. Ash. I thought you were going to merely lurk after our conversation yesterday. But welcome! Hope you are feeling better and glad you found some entertainment in Pippin’s games. There’s nothing like knocking your head against a brick wall all day at work, coming home, then playing a game where you metaphorically knock your head against a brick wall. Genius.

Also, my boyfriend, who doesn’t really play games, while playing Safety Instructions: “This is very alarming!”
