I played a round of Sleep is Death with the game’s creator, Jason Rohrer. I wrote up my thoughts, here.
I link you to them here for two reasons: firstly, because Jason’s game deserves as much press as it can get, and secondly, because I’m going to write a second preview where I talk about my experience of telling a SiD story to Ash.
You can visit the official Sleep is Death site here.
Anthony and Ashly Burch are writers and game critics who make surreal videos in their spare time. The videos aren't that bad.
Rev Rants: Every week, sort of, Anthony discusses games and gamer culture in this Destructoid video series (now defunct).
Anthony Burch on Destructoid: In addition to creating video content, Anthony used to write some awesome stuff for Destructoid.com.
Video Game Flicks: Over at AMC's blog, Anthony writes about videogames, movies, and videogame movies. Updates every other Tuesday.
Occasionally, Ashly acts in other stuff, like the movie Donna.

Great preview! Have this shit pre-ordered and I am EXCITE
Likewise. I’m totally going to create some Doctor Who-related stories.
Not trying to be offensive, but the first thing I thought of when I saw his last name was “loller” with a Japanese accent.

I loved the slideshow, I can’t believe you didn’t shoot your partner, that guy even pissed ME off, and I wasn’t even playing
Great show.
Also, I just ordered it, I saw that it comes with Linux support
I heard you talking about it on the HAWPcast, and I was wondering if you considered using Sleep is Death for an episode? Even as just the setting for another idea you were going to use, like the Text Adventures episode.
Also, I know you aren’t into pen and paper games, but have you ever heard of Paranoia? Mentioning the dark comedy aspect of your SiD session, and the similarities to D and D, it might be something you would be interested in.

Tell Ash she needs to work on her Amy Pond impersonation…
