That’s probably a bug in the web player. I suggest getting the Gargoyle interpreter: http://code.google.com/p/garglk/downloads/list (for Windows or Linux), and the game file: http://lilith.cc/~victor/nemesis/Nemesis.zblorb

I’m quite certain that is how Derrida would have wanted it. And Shakespeare as well, of course.

Also Hamlet and Moby Dick.

And Freud, I guess. Maybe. Does using “phallus” and “totem” in the same sentence still equal Freud? Or is it just really generic by this point?

That was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. And goodness me it was incredibly weird seeing bits of Mody Dick and Hamlet popping up in there.

It’s also hilarious that the very first use of Melville, Shakespeare, IF history and a Derrida allusion in a game is also a massive porn joke.

This on the other hand is strange. Seems like a parody, but not sure of what exactly.

Err, that was meant for Nautilisia.

Pretty funny. The siren has a lot to say…
