Several people had suggested I meet up with Mike Gentry - |
|
his work, Anchorhead, had itself turned a bunch of heads |
|
with its style, emotion, and approach. While one can |
|
never really tell what someone is "first" and "second", |
|
he seemed a great writer first who happened to use |
|
interactive fiction to tell one of his stories, not |
|
unlike Adam Cadre with Photopia. So we made an |
|
arrangement to meet in Virginia, at his home. |
|
|
|
You never know how things will turn out for any |
|
interview, and in Mike's case, his interview was cut |
|
short for the silliest of reasons - it was Sunday, and |
|
one of the neighbors was working on something that |
|
required a very loud, very screeching tool, either a saw |
|
or grinder, to assemble. Over time, the screeching got to |
|
the point that we couldn't go on... but I definitely got |
|
a good collection of quotes from him, which were used in |
|
a few places in the main episode. This 18 minute |
|
collection of quotes, however, shows the actual depth of |
|
Mike's thinking along the lines of what Interactive |
|
Fiction can do in the hands of someone thinking of it as |
|
a writer first. |
