Jonathan Blow on Italo Calvino and Video Games

[@randomc6163]

Braid is my all time favorite game

[@Drecon84]

This talk has enriched my life.

16:45 Enjoying watching Jon going over the geeking-out cliff :p

[@darko_ef]

Did he post talks about "the nonexistent knight" and "the discovery of the birds" anywhere?

[@jblow888]

Haven't done those yet. Probably won't happen for at least a month.

[@darko_ef]

Thanks for replay. Love your talks and games btw!

[@ac3raven]

Are you going to make me read ALL of Calvino's books!? ;)

[@NathanRichan]

Just wait, he'll make you read Gravity's Rainbow after that

[@puzzlinggamedev]

I finnaly solved the puzzle about your company's name ;)

[@NathanRichan]

It fits really well, I think

[@cristiancampos7807]

Hi there, everybody. Amazing talk! Was wondering, has Jonathan touched on the "using a metaphor to set-up a transcendent leap" thing yet? If so, can anyone be so kind as to lead me to it? Thanks a lot.

Well, now I have to finish the Witness so I can watch this talk spoiler-free.

[@EllipticGeometry]

This talk doesn't spoil that much of The Witness. If you have a sense of what's going on on top of the mountain, you should be okay. However, I did just spoil the talk. ;-)

[@nameguy101]

Oops, I meant I have to read _Invisible Cities_ and _If on winter's night a traveler_ so I can watch this talk spoiler-free.

[@anldemir9755]

Why are you showing a white slide and say there is a diagram? Is this a new Jon Blow puzzle trick on our minds? Wait let me get pen and paper...

[@EllipticGeometry]

It's a tone mapping issue.

[@GodOfMacro]

nobody had the courrage to tell him it was all in his head...

[@nicholasharris2108]

HA HA HA HAH
I think everything is in his head and nothing truly exists.

Could not understand much, need translation or at least script.
