I found this on gamespy today. Really interesting articles, about when they challenged 3 industry guru's to make games based on, for the first one, romance. And the second one, the complete works of Emily Dickinson. Funny stuff and really quite interesting.

If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

Actually, I like the third idea too, but I think it should be creepier.
The Folly of youth is to think that intelligence is a subsitute for experience. The folly of age is to think that experience is a subsitute for intelligence.

It's like a tamagochi, but with Dickinson and Kafka and Dostoevsky and Poe and people like that. That would be sweet.
