A Death in the Family

Imagine a game where you character forgets. I am not talking about a character suffering from amnesia at the beginning of the game, I am thinking about a character who would lose his (or her) memories as you progress further into the game. A controllable character afflicted by Alzheimer's disease. Although it would most likely not make for the most interesting or fun game to play, I strongly believe it would be something very interesting to explore.

If I have any readers, you might have an inkling as to where this is going. My mammy, my mother's mother, my daughter's great-grandmother passed away yesterday. She had been suffering from Alzheimer's disease for the past few years so in the end, it might just be for the best, but in all honestly, I find my thoughts extremely jumbled and mixed up at the moment. Truth be told, my main cause of concern is my mother, extremely sad of course. So here is a slice of life, which deals with death, as it must.

On the bright side, I am becoming a godfather today, and will thus have the power to make offers one cannot refuse ;).

A somewhat gloomy entry for Easter; alas, one does not choose everything's timing.

God of War 3 finished and very good, albeit old school in design with some visually interesting thing (the Intro Credits amongst other things is sublime).

Uncharted 2 - finally finished. Wow! Last year's game of the year without a doubt.

More on games next entry.
Happy Easter! Joyeuses Pâques!
