Video Description

A narrative critique of Campo Santo’s Firewatch. Full spoilers for Firewatch and I guess Edith Wharton’s 1920 novel _The Age of Innocence_ though let’s be honest nobody is going to be worried about that bit. Chapters: 0:00 Introduction 0:54 Act I: I’m Limited 35:55 Act II: Halfway Through the Wood 52:22 Act III: Changed for Good 1:10:17 Conclusion Dante’s _Inferno_ : https://www.gutenberg.org/files/1001/1001-h/1001-h.htm Apparently this well-known version is translated by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, a name that might sound familiar to American students who usually study his famous poem, “Paul Revere’s Ride” in elementary school. “One, if by land, and two, if by sea; / And I on the opposite shore will be / Ready to ride and spread the alarm…” Oh god now I can't stop thinking about how many bad Lin-Manuel Miranda impressions students are subjected to by overeager History/English teachers. Pour one out for the kids. _Fire Season_ : https://a.co/d/e8yojOA I read Fire Season in preparation for this video but I didn’t really have any organic opportunities to integrate the text into my critique. Which is a shame, because it’s a fantastic book and on the Firewatch commentaries the developers mention that almost everyone on the staff read it for this game. _The Age of Innocence_ : https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/541/pg541-images.html I actually love this book, although I guess if you know the ending a lot of the primary tension is gone. Sorry. #firewatch
