The more things change.. (aka, 2003 era tree drama)

I just found this article by Striatic on Mina's old Game Neverending fanzine on the subject of guerilla tree planting! http://www.bobbleton.net/bounce/archives/000069.html

  • And I found this screencast by striatic of GNE ending when it came back in 2008. http://www.striatic.net/screencasts/2008-04-02_1101-1.swf

    boooooooooooo. ... boo.

    I think it's fair to say it's the best screencast EVER.

  • Oh thank you thank you, just today I was trying to remember exactly how the GNE screen looked and the hubs and spokes were haunting me.

  • What a lovely smile you've left me with for the night... I shall have intricate, delicate, and astonishing dreams.

  • Okay, I did not play this game.  I'd never even heard of it until tonight.  Just got through watching that screencast a minute or so ago.  I don't know what it is, but there was something both extremely sweet and a little heartbreaking about it.  Odd vibe.

    For what it's worth, here is my extremely belated moment of silence for yet another perplexingly neat thing that I have somehow managed to completely miss out on.

    And I just love that screencast. Totally forgot about that, too. Well, it's been a while...

  • ha--that screencast shows me saying "wow"...because I logged on 2 minutes before the game got shut down!  Maybe it will come back again some day...
