Interview with Coil developer Edmund McMillen.


  Why did you decide not to include any “instruction or clear direction” with Coil?
  
  Well the basic idea behind Coil is there are no instructions because there are no instructions in life. I think people get more out of experiencing something firsthand without help than having someone hold their hand through the process. That’s the basic premise of what I was trying to do with Coil.
  
  I think having no instructions makes a game feel magical and is more rewarding to the player when they know they have figured something out for themselves.


Play Coil.

Rush’s “Moving Pictures” album on Rock Band

I just received the first Rock Band Community Zine entry in my email containing the announcement that Rush’s album Moving Pictures will be released August 26th as a full album download.

I’m not a huge Rush fan in general, but I’m a massive fan when it comes to playing their songs in Rock Band. Harmonix also has a two-part interview here and here.
