Portal On the Booklist At Wabash College
jamie passes along this quote from a post by Michael Abbott at The Brainy Gamer:
"This year, for the first time, a video game will appear on the syllabus of a course required for all students at Wabash College, where I teach. For me — and for a traditional liberal arts college founded in 1832 — this is a big deal. Alongside Gilgamesh, Aristotle's Politics, John Donne's poetry, Shakespeare's Hamlet, and the Tao Te Ching, freshmen at Wabash will also encounter a video game called Portal. "
Please note that we have added a consequence for failure. Any contact with the chamber floor will result in an unsatisfactory mark on your official testing record, followed by death.
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun the frumious Bandersnatch.
Buying into how absurd this is since Portal isn't a book, I guess Cliff's Notes should publish a Youtube runthrough of the game with annotations.
Freedom is drinking a beer in the park when you're supposed to be at work.
I'm making a note here.
HUGE SUCCESS!
I bet that course is a total piece of cake

> Hamlet the work of a vulgar modern playwrite..."
I didn't know Francis Bacon was vulgar... ;-)
I always thought cheats were frowned upon in the academic world.
Stasis is death. Embrace change.
This one time at band camp....
The first game to be included in an academic curriculum should've been Deus Ex. I'm disappointed with you, America. :|
tl;dr
due to food allergies we can't have cake
too lazy; downed ritalin?
