Ah, summer. The time when I swap the usual hot, bitter, sting of a morning cup of bean juice with the icy acrid tang of a chilled energy drink. The attendant jitters are merely coincidental and not indicative of poor decisions on my part.

On Saturday I hosted a game day at Lloyd Center Mall, which is shutting down for good next weekend. The food court is largely abandoned but still has a lot of tables, so I thought it would be fun to hang out and play some games and soak up the mall vibes.

I don't know films. Not my training. The Odyssey may be an amazing film. I couldn't tell you. But I do know the text. And I know Wilson's bona fides in this arena. So I take what she says about how the film portrays the themes of the text seriously. But not what she says about the film as a film.

Earlier this year when I was in Spokane, the @cyan.com crew was kind enough to give me a tour of their gorgeous office - the same building Riven was created in - and allow me to play this vertical slice. It's so, so excellent, and it's so sad it's unlikely to ever come out.
