Game spotlight #1: Irisu Syndrome
A freeware puzzle game from Japan, Irisu Syndrome stars Kyouko Irisu, an adorable bunny-obsessed girl, and three of her school mates; Ageha, Uuji, and Edogawa. The game itself is challenging at times for a falling block game, and as the game is played, a story begins to unfold. Irisu Syndrome is at times a work of art (the music is fantastic), but uncovering the story behind the game can become unsettling indeed…While not as frightening as other games in some respects, Irisu Syndrome is worth a play—to mention anything else would spoil the game.

(A new thing I’d like to begin doing, maybe weekly, are game features of this sort. I’d like to introduce some of my favorite games that I feel are lesser-known. I’d like to avoid spoiling the games, though.)

NECROPOLIS
[noun]
(Greek plural: necropoleis; Latin plural: necropoles); a large cemetery or burial ground, usually including structural tombs. The word comes from the Greek νεκρόπολις - nekropolis, literally meaning “city of the dead”. Apart from the occasional application of the word to modern cemeteries outside large towns, the term is chiefly used for burial grounds, near the centres of ancient civilisations, such as an abandoned city or town. The term “necropolis” is also occasionally used in speculative (particularly fantasy) fiction to describe a city overrun by fictional creatures known as undead.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2klytv1FB1r47bczo1_1280.jpg)

Mitchell Fletcher of Hillsborough Florida bought some Halloween decorations at a yard sale – but when he got them home something about the ‘fake’ skeleton he’d purchased for $8 made him take a closer look and ultimately call the police.
Police detectives took the bones to the county medical examiner who confirmed that the couple had in fact purchased a real deceased human being.
The Most Beautiful Suicide
On May Day, just after leaving her fiancé, 23-year-old Evelyn McHale wrote a note. ‘He is much better off without me … I wouldn’t make a good wife for anybody,’ … Then she crossed it out. She went to the observation platform of the Empire State Building. Through the mist she gazed at the street, 86 floors below. Then she jumped. In her desperate determination she leaped clear of the setbacks and hit a United Nations limousine parked at the curb. Across the street photography student Robert Wiles heard an explosive crash. Just four minutes after Evelyn McHale’s death Wiles got this picture of death’s violence and its composure. The serenity of McHale’s body amidst the crumpled wreckage it caused is astounding. Years later, Andy Warhol appropriated Wiles’ photography for a print called Suicide (Fallen Body).
I absolutely love this picture.
