I did defeat Noah and got to the pretzel, as the picture shows that you did, but it wasn't my greatest Ms. Pac-Man game. Ah well, there will be another chance - and we had to get to the reading, anyway. Scott, the event was great fun, and the rainy hayride was a hoot despite the weather. Now I'd better get to work on <i>Book and Volume</i> so you'll have something to interact with at the Kelly Writers House... Ha, Andrew, that’s great.

I guess I'd just also note that the two of you did a very good job of contextualizing your own work within the history of the forms you discussed. I think that format worked very well. I also felt like I walked away with a better understanding of what exactly "n-grams" are, and a better context for understanding the type of writing decisions you make when constructing a work of interactive fiction. Thanks for coming out to South Jersey (and for putting up with the spooky-but-wet Haunted Hay Ride rather than the visit to Chuck E. Cheese you so vehemently desired). The chainsaw-wielding Killer Klowns haunt me still. And you scooped me — here I am at Intermezzo getting ready to prepare this post, using the very same image you posted.
