Thanks for the well wishes. Mostly, the issue is that I may not have enough time to play the game in order to justify the initial cost. But hopefully I'll get around to it. I'd also be very interested to hear your impressions whenever you get around to playing it.

Big O- fyi, I'm putting my first impressions of my playthrough on my personal group page. You can find it through the link in my sig. First impressions, mechanically and with the presentation of the story so far, are positive. (Mega-spoilers within, though, obviously.)

Thanks for letting me know. I've only looked at the first of your entries to avoid major spoilers, but your commentary is extremely helpful in getting a sense of what the game is all about. And your character sounds pretty similar to the kind of character I would have probably run with my first playthrough, so that's nice. :)

Well, you're an adjunct, aren't you? If anybody's qualified to do it, you are.

I would have you know that I am the Wykeham Professor of Logic at Oxford University. :) But yes, I'm an adjunct; we comprise over 50% of all faculty members at US colleges and universities, which doesn't paint a pretty picture.

Nonsense. Starving academics are always so attractively thin, and do just about anything for food. [/troll]

Oh? Do tell.

The paper is in the anthology I'm using for my class, and it's a classic in the field, so I figured, why not? Unfortunately, it's unreadable for undergraduates: "A Description of S, where S is a system, is any true statement to the effect that S possesses distinct states S-1, S-2 . . . S-n, which are related to one another and to the motor outputs and sensory inputs by the transition probabilities given in such-and-such a Machine Table."

Five years ago, I might have understood that better. Now I just remember old math I can no longer do. Sorry. :p

Nice. (I guess. ;)) What kind of load have you got?

Four courses, mostly at different places. I'm teaching Bioethics, Intro to Philosophy, Contemporary Moral Issues and Critical Thinking (although I'm not really in love with the book for that one). I've taught most of those before, but I'm making some changes to my syllabi, so we'll see how it goes. :)

Awesome! Congratulations. :)

Peer-reviewed, right? Web or print?

Thanks! It's a peer-reviewed print journal specializing in epistemology, which is most of what I do, so that worked out well.

That's very cool.
