Games Day
Ian McMillan hosts an end-of-term games tournament with Rhianna Pratchett, Philip Terry, Ira Lightman and Louise Blain.
It's the last Verb before we break up for the summer term, so we're having an end of term games day.
Games Writer Rhianna Pratchett has worked across many games in a 20 year career. Some are big studio titles like Tomb Raider, where she was brought in to update the character of Lara Croft for a new generation, and others are indie games like Sketchbook Games鈥� 鈥楾he Lost Words鈥�, a game that Rhianna was involved in from early development and which was inspired by her own personal experiences of grief.
Philip Terry, poet and editor of 'The Penguin Book of Oulipo' lets us into the world of avant-garde language games. It鈥檚 Oulipo vs the Surrealists鈥et your Exquisite Corpse at the ready. And verb regular Ira Lightman embraces the chaos and creates poetry with the roll of a dice. He鈥檚 built our very own Verb board game, Snakes and Ladders and Words!
We also look ahead to the 'Sound of Gaming' Prom, the very first prom to centre on Computer games music with Sound of Gaming presenter Louise Blain, who also gives us an insight into the narrative possibilities computer games can offer us.
Our 'Something New' this week comes from poet Will Harris. and our Something Old Archive recording is Adrian Henri reading 鈥楽he Loves me鈥�
