This Thursday, 3 October 2013, we rewind to the days — and long nights — of bulletin board systems, hacking phone lines (phreaking!), and generally knowing people only by their screen names. That’s right. It’s 1988 all over again.

We will be talking about Digital: A Love Story by Christine Love. Not just the game itself, but how it handles love — it’s in the name after all — and how technology is portrayed too. (Or maybe we won’t. That’s a guess on my part.)

As every week, we’ll meet on our Mumble server at or around 9:30 EST / 6:30 PST. If you’d like to join us, contact one of us or leave a comment and we can send you the password.

(Note: While the game is short enough to play through in a single sitting, I’ve also posted a recording of a playthrough too. In case you prefer to watch.)
