Okay, so “gamerize” is a term I just made up. But, as a full-time grad student, now, I have some license to do such things. In fact, it’s sort of expected of us so long as we take at least ten double-spaced pages to define the term. But I’ll spare me the pain of writing it, and you the torture of reading it…
As the title of the post suggests, there is, in fact, a video game adaptation of The Inferno due to be released on February 9th, called Dante’s Inferno. It’s published by Electronic Arts, and is developed by one of EA’s in-house teams, Visceral (more on EA later***). As you can tell by the screenshot above, the game takes significant liberties with Dante’s medieval classic.
Below is a story trailer for the game from IGN’s website. There is an age gate, but the trailer is safe for work, so to speak.
This story brings a whole new meaning to the phrase “You’d better watch out, you’d better not cry, you’d better not pout, I’m telling you why…” Well, somebody besides Santa Claus may be coming to town! Check out the story on Krampus the Christmas Demon by Timothy O’Leary on The Torch Online. Maybe you’ll work harder at being nice rather than naughty from now on!
For me, two very important events happened yesterday and today. Yesterday, November 22, 1963, C.S. Lewis died, his death being overshadowed by the assasination of John F. Kennedy.

Among many works, Lewis also wrote science fiction, The Space Trilogy, and also, what I consider to be his best work, Till We Have Faces, a retelling of the myth of Cupid and Psyche.

Discovery Channel News had a nice, short commentary from Katherine Ramsland, the author of The Science of Vampires. It’s only about 2 and a half minutes long. Lots of still images, some from Nosferatu. So, if you don’t want to watch the Nosferatu movie, you can at least see how they imagined Count Orlok. It’s a pretty interesting commentary and speaks to some of what we’ve recently discussed on vampires. I invite you to check it out and share your thoughts.
Randy Hoyt has written at length on two types of thinking: mythos and logos. This is a fascinating subject for me, and I’ve begun exploring it recently, most notably in this post at The Rabbit Room and to a lesser extent in this post here.
Randy concludes that mythos and logos are complementary ways of thinking, [...]
