An Illustration of Roland Barthes' Literary Theory

Soulja Boy reviews Braid:

113 comments:

Bobby said...

The author, he is dead.

Unknown said...

Has Mr. Blow responded yet? 'Cause you know he will, right? 'Cause I don't think those guys doing that review got the point.

Or did they?

To riff on Bobby's apposite comment:

Mistah Blow. He dead. But that's not going to stop him from telling us what his work means, is it?

Thanks, Iroquois!

Unknown said...

Braid is mainstream!

Ben said...

That's... not a review. That's more real; it's word of mouth. I mean--I don't think they got the point, but does it matter? They were apparently have a wonderful time with it.

Is it any surprise, really, that Braid + weed != Braid? I did find it interesting that he asserts there isn't any point to the game. Either he hasn't read the vignettes (in which case he should admit that there might be a point he's missing) or he's saying something that could be said about any game: All you do it wander around and [key game mechanic here].

I guess it's also possible that he read the texts and they were incomprehensible to him. But if he was playing it high always, I bet he skipped them.

Anonymous said...

I couldn't possibly have suffered through those vignettes sober. The memory of a glass of wine... the flash of his lover's braid... gag me. If you get high enough, though, you can almost believe it's intentional self-parody. The anti-emetic properties of cannabis don't hurt either.

Ramshot Croton said...

Admittedly a tangent, but Soulja Boy’s analysis seems like as good a time as any to share my Braid experience:

In the midst of a real-life separation from my girlfriend of a few years, I played a lot of Braid. In the morning I’d have a cup of coffee, work on a few tricky puzzle pieces, and then head to work. When I returned in the evening I enacted a similar ritual.

One night I awoke in an anxious panic. My dreaming self had planned to hold down the ‘x’ button and rewind our real-life relationship to a time when our underlying problems were fresh. Addressing them head-on would put them to rest before they could fester. Another part of myself chimed in that real life doesn’t actually have a rewind button. At this point, no more than an hour after going to bed, I awoke sweaty and feeling uneasy. I wandered out into the living room to calm down, accept the past, and watch another quietly slay Norse cyberpunk robots.

The parallels between Braid’s themes and my experience are not lost on me.
