>> musicians and video games

“Kids today don’t listen to music on the hi-fi or TV. They’re all into gaming and it’s by playing the latest hot video games that they discover new music and artists.” /cooltech.iafrica.com/

>> uplink

Uplink is a game out of the UK about “High tech computer crime and industrial espionage on the Internet of 2010.”

I originally heard about this game via VirusFox: “And this goes for games as well. Some may or may not remember my fondness for a game by the name of Uplink. It’s a small game but it provides hours of entertainment. It might not seem like fun but if your into: computers, security, cyberpunk, etc. Do yourself a favor and buy the game.”

>> interactive fiction FAQ / wiki

“There’s a new Interactive Fiction FAQ for those new the puzzly pleasures of these programs that are games, potential narratives, and worlds. Some of us put it together recently on ifwiki, which Dave Cornelson has installed as a resource (and collaborative writing space) for the IF community.” /Grand Text Auto/

>> cyberpunk 203X

“One of the most hotly anticipated games of the new millennium has been R. Talsorian’s Cyberpunk 203X, the third incarnation of the definitive Cyberpunk RPG. After some rethinking, restructuring and much grumbling by fans (myself included), it appears that there’s finally a neon light on the horizon. The R. Talsorian website is now featuring a 15 page PDF preview of the forthcoming Cyberpunk 203X. But that wasn’t enough for us–we went right to the source, and spoke with Mike Pondsmith himself, to get some insight into what went into the new game, and what’s to come.” /Gamegrene.com/
