So what’d you like the most about this week’s readings/games?

B. [[Random topic]] insteadThat’s cool! Do you like this interactive wiki post then? Please, give me your honest thoughts!
A. [[Eh]], más o menos.
B. Yes, I’m rather [[enjoying it]].
C. No, it’s [[hot garbage]].Same, I rather enjoyed the aesthetic as well. “In the Woods” was my favorite, especially with its use of gifs in collaboration with the text to bring its story to life and its music to really nail that weird, haunting atmosphere.
A.I actually [[hated]] “In the Woods.”
B.I really enjoyed [[Orteil]]’s works “Nested 0.3” and “Cookie Clicker.”Damn, savage. Anything else from the past that you might have enjoyed?
A. [[NOPE]]
B. Some of those [[Twitter concepts]] were pretty interesting.
C. The [[randomly generated]] texts could be fun.Really????? Are you sure?! Not to judge… but really??!!
A. [[Yeah]], totally
B. [[Kinda?]]
C. [[Nah]], I was just trolling you :DWell.... Here's some more 'beautiful' text then to meet your weird cravings. Enjoy!
"This week, Juliet Escoria’s work “In the Woods: A Moving Picture Book” was what fascinated me the most and truly exemplified how electronic literature, and specifically video games in this case, can add to the literary genre and give more tools to the writer/poet’s disposal. While Escoria’s work here already has a pretty haunting and dream-like quality to it in its actual words, the music and visuals further enhance this feeling by providing an even more foreboding and sometimes unsettling atmosphere to the tale. The use of gifs provides a sense of life to the text and almost gives the double quality of both reading a story and watching a movie. For example, they seem to add to the sense of urgency, dread, or fear the character is expressing during the story through their movement and life-like quality."
[[THE END]]How can you be so unsure???
A. [[Eh]], what do you want from me? I'm indecisive, okay?
B. Listen here, [[little buddy]], you can't force me to be sure.<img style="-webkit-user-select: none;background-position: 0px 0px, 10px 10px;background-size: 20px 20px;background-image:linear-gradient(45deg, #eee 25%, transparent 25%, transparent 75%, #eee 75%, #eee 100%),linear-gradient(45deg, #eee 25%, white 25%, white 75%, #eee 75%, #eee 100%);" src="https://media.giphy.com/media/IgIrgBgQFnZxS/giphy.gif">

Hope you find something you like soon then!
[[THE END]]Yeah, I thought that KimKierkegaardashian one was pretty hilarious. Also, if that's what you like, I have pretty much nothing to offer you here, so byeeeeeeeeeeee
[[THE END]]Well, sadly, I can't do that in twine (or at least I have no clue how to), so I feel we must part ways here since I clearly hold nothing of interest for you. Goodbye!
