Heads Up: Combining Theater and Gaming with Adventure Quest
Thursday, May 14, 2009 at 6:21PM
A few days ago I received a very intriguing e-mail from a reader named Chris Chappell concerning a theater project he and a troupe have been working away on for some time. I was dying to talk about it on the weekend, but the e-mail landed in my inbox right in the middle of the blog's recent move, so I had to delay my excitement for a couple days.
Adventure Quest is a New York based production that "combines vintage graphics and 8-bit music with live acting to evoke the world of '80s adventure gaming, particularly King's Quest and Quest for Glory." Those who want more info can check their Facebook group. Those that are curious about the game genre that the production looks to emulate can check out the group's "walkthrough".
Chris asked if I'd be able to attend the show in June in hopes of reviewing it. As he put it, "here in New York the experimental theatre scene can be kind of an insular one--we see this as a chance to bridge the gap between that world and the gaming world." Considering the timing of the show, it might be damn near impossible to do that, but for readers who are curious, Chris provided a full schedule:
Sat Jun 6 @ 5:30pm
Wed Jun 17 @ 8pm
Thu Jun 25 @ 7pm
Sat Jul 4 @ 5pm
The Brick Theater, 575 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn, New York
Chris also let me know in a subsequent e-mail that the show has been extended, but later shows do not have concrete dates. Tickets can be purchased at the official site for The Anti-Depressant Festival.

What prince-o3-tour would be bettre in my opinion would be to remove the wrist straps and the skin, and instead make it a 2 babolat pure drive, 2 stereing wheels, 1 baseball bat and 1 golf club. Still, this package is great value for your money. When my wife informed me that Emporio Armani was now pushing its own signature wilson k six, the EA7, I’ve got to admit, I was intrigued. Italian designres producing tennis rackets? How fashion forward of thstrong. I love it. Head microgel is style and preformance at cheap tennis racquets best. Haute couture meets the hard courts.
SEO Fact: Content is king. Always will be. Don't assume that more is better in terms of keywords. Do not fall victim to the temptation to simply keyword stuff your site otherwise two things will happen. First, you'll get banned by the search engines and even worse, you'll be ignored by the humans who land on your page. Both types of visitors can see through vain SEO attempts to trick you to get onto their site.
