Poems about a Freshly-Picked Peach

Are games trapped by math?

I just learned that all of the peach orchards between Parmer and 35 and Round Rock are gone. Which sucks. ["It's all WalMarts now." "It's the pits." Laughter] Yeah... and why is there no game about the taste of a freshly picked peach, straight from the tree, with the smells and dust of the working orchard? How do you make a game about that?

["Because my monitor tastes like crap." "It's a human interface problem."]

It isn't just an interface problem! It isn't just an interface problem! There are probably poems about the taste of a fresh peach.

There's a great one about plums, from William Carlos Williams:

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold

[Yossarian]

I parodied that last year, funnily enough

I Have Run
from the CIA
for stealing a series of
classified documents

and which
can easily be traced
back to your computer
probably before breakfast

Forgive me
The Russians were generous
so sweet
and so cold

An interesting (and fun) point, but I think games are more trapped by the economics of making and selling them than by the math.

It only takes one person to write a poem, maybe a few more to publish it (nowadays, one could just publish on the web for free).

Games? Not so much :) Not only would we have to look into the cost of interactively describing the taste of a peach, we'd have to ask ourselves: would anyone buy it?
