Cool Links

Cool links are a collection of interesting things I find around the web. They can range from fun dumb websites to deep thought-provoking essays, or more commonly something in between. The feed here updates frequently, and I compile everything into a blog post on the last day of each month.

Half Life 2 running fully through your browser? Sure! Why not?

Definitely not the best way to do it, but walking around in one of the best games ever on my browser is a pretty cool concept. Especially since there’s no way to run it natively on a Mac nowadays.

This is so good! Overworld is a gaming news aggregator that is actually usable. It groups together all news for a single topic under a single headline, and also curates gaming-related stuff (that’s not necessarily news) in a “worth your time” section. And it looks great too!

The Truth About Lying (and why we do it) (video) , by Miss Chalice

#fun #games

Excuse me, I’m in a Lies of P obsession right now. This video (which contains some light spoilers) talks about the Truth/Lie choices in the game, which are an incredible narrative device, and how that relates to what makes us human.

It’s not surprising that a game based on the story of Pinocchio would have Lies and “becoming human” as parts of its theme, but I really like how they made it all make sense organically and not just like something they tacked in there because they had to.
