Ron Gilbert about art and bad endings

That’s your choice. Just because it’s from an master’s degree course doesn’t mean anything :wink:

There were a lot of slides, they changed every 5 or 6 seconds. The talk is much better with all the funny slides.

Do you know if there is a video with the slides? :slight_smile:

What was the “woke up this morning” one then? Was it from a game?

Waking up is funny. At least when I wake up. :wink:

Ohh… beautiful song! :astonished:

As an alternative, uploading the slides to Google Docs or Slideshare would also work for me. :neutral_face:

Heheh. It’s catchy. The game moves to the rhythm of the song, which I really like. It kinda helps with big jumps over lethal saws and things. Still can’t complete it though.

How appropriate, you fight like a dog!

About the controversial ending:
(the first one)

I just watch the PAX video. Very nice and inspiring.

Bravo, Mr. Gilbert! Bravo! :clap:

I miss being able to listen to his calm relaxing voice on a quasi weekly basis.

We miss his monthly podcasts…
I used to listen to his voice at around midnight in Italy.
I closed my eyes and concentrated to his voice…

And then David sounded a kazoo once in a while to keep you from falling asleep.

I miss hearing that opening and the guitar riff…

I still keep it in my followed podcasts and glance at it every day to see if might miraculously show a new episode.

Same, what amazes me is how he is able to keep a really calm voice even when discussing things that would normally make someone go off on a rant.

Like as soon as I get onto a subject that pushes my buttons, very soon I’m practically shouting and talking really quickly.

I think Terrible Toybox should release a relaxation tape as the next project… maybe with an ambiguous ending where you’re not sure if you were relaxed or not.
