alluring desktop

This is Michael Flower’s desktop in Portland, and the one in the center remains a taunt. But I’m probably only 7-18 hours away from finally having my own copy. 7 hours if it’s really in my mailbox on the new campus, 18 hours if Bogost’s flight shows up on time. (Just finished his Atari book, incidentally, and it’s really a kick. Atari VCS play is one of the strongest generational bonds there is, at least as big as Michael Jackson in that respect. And I had forgotten how great the Yar’s Revenge cartridge was until Montfort and Bogost’s book reminded me of how unique it was. Am I the only admirer of the “Superman” cartridge? I loved it.)
