I so admire people who have _zero_ chill when it comes to interior design! While this style is easier to assemble in China than in Sweden it's rare to see this consistency (largely because it's expensive). There's also a lot of clever design hacks here if you manage to catch them.

A very happy birthday salute to Brigadier-General Sir Harry Flashman, VC, KCB, KCIE, etc. etc. – born #OTD, 5 May, 1822. As his extraordinary entry in WHO’S WHO (c.1908, below) shows, Sir Harry embodied all those qualities that built & sustained the British Empire 🇬🇧 🫡

Sir Harry’s storied career is too long for the ALT-text, but you can read it here:

October 25 is Punk For a Day Day! Does include a steampunk rebelling for 19th Century workers' rights in our "Clocky Horror" musical parody of the cult classic movie? 🤣

The CWRU Film Society's Voyeuristic Intentions is doing the Time Warp again with a live RHPS shadowcast tomorrow night! And we're planning more fun in 2025 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of "Rocky Horror"!

“Ironically, the problems inherent in the game design establish a distinctly immersive adaptation, as the player experiences the repressive frustrations of being Henry Jekyll and the cathartic joys of being Edward Hyde”

A Strange Case of Angry Video Game Nerds:
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde on the Nintendo Entertainment System

Marc Napolitano
(United States Air Force Academy, Colorado, USA)

Abstract:
Regarded by many gamers as one of the worst video games of all time, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde on the Nintendo Entertainment System is simultaneously a unique adaptation of a Victorian text. The frustrating design of the game is based upon an attempt to translate the relationship between Stevenson’s characters into an interactive experience. Ironically, the problems inherent in the game design establish a distinctly immersive adaptation, as the player experiences the repressive frustrations of being Henry Jekyll and the cathartic joys of being Edward Hyde. By ‘legitimising’ Hyde, and by promoting an active reengagement with the Stevenson text through gameplay, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde ironically succeeds as a neo-Victorian adaptation by failing as a video game.

“[A] slow-paced side-scroller with obnoxious enemies, useless weapons, unclear instructions and deaths that came at random; an unholy abomination that would have better banished into obscurity”
