Okay, you know what? I think you should leave.

This'll be a short one today.. got more coming later this week. I had so many ideas last week I had to abandon. :)

Anyway, there is this show called Cinematech on the cable network G4TV. It's an interesting show to watch, it's basically 30 minutes of video game footage strung together, usually to a particular theme. Plus, it doesn't have the generally obnoxious hosts that the other shows on the network do.

This weekend I see 3 separate bits of footage from a game called Facade. The game was so interesting, I looked it up online and found out the game is available for free download. It's a hard game to describe.. you are invited to an evening with a married couple. You interact with the couple by typing dialogue on the keyboard. It can be anything to a compliment to an insult. The couple will react with facial expressions and dialogue of their own. The "goal" of the game is to get the couple to reveal some things about themselves. That, or you get kicked out of the apartment for being rude.

The game is fun, simply because you can act however you want just to see the reaction of the couple. Even better, when the game is done, it generates a "stageplay" that tells you all that was said and done. You can send these to friends.

Check the game out at http://www.interactivestory.net. Keep in mind you will need a fast connection to download it, as it is about 800mb. You can always order it on CD for $14.
