The game's real. The ecchi's real. The hentai? Fake. Ad? Fake. Someone probably playing on it's extremely suggestive themes displayed throughout the game.

Let's move on.

I fucking hate 1984. Probably why I love Mirror's Edge.

Wait, do you hate the book or just hate the concept the book addresses?

1984 was the worst book ever. I want to insert a fist into every copy of the book so anyone who opens it will be punched in the face.

But talk about Mirrors Edge.

I started 1984, and then I didn't finish it. I should finish it.

...What's mirror's edge about?

I've owned mirror's edge since like september and i've played like, half an hour of it overall. not that it's bad, i just never really got into it i guess, and when I had to delete like everything i never really got around to reinstalling it.

Haha, wow. I enjoy George Orwell's books, though. Started off with Animal Farm, another excellent novel.

And Mirror's Edge (Ody feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) is about a city where a totalitarian government rules with an iron fist. In an effort to eliminate crime, they scrutinize every piece of electronic communication. While this succeeds, the city has essentially turned into a lifeless husk. The character you play, Faith, is a "runner" who delivers messages.

I like the concept it addresses, because it's happening in present-day society with things like the Patriot Act being signed into law. I don't like the execution, because I couldn't really relate to the main character at all and found it difficult to understand his motives on some of the things he did, like why he hated Big Brother to begin with.

Mirror's Edge is 1984 in video game form with a shittier plot, but it presents it much better. Basically, the city has sacrificed liberty for security, meaning information is heavily monitored. That's where the Runners come in. You, as Faith, are part of a courier organization that delivers information to clients via free-running and parkour acrobatics.

Sticking it to the man all the same, just in a much more badass way. In 1984, they defy authority by having casual sex with each other. In Mirror's Edge, they defy authority by jumping from building to building and drop-kicking any cops in your way.

I can level with you there, he wasn't very easy to relate to at some points. Although I think the part that really got to me was the very end.

I did enjoy some parts of the book, but the parts I didn't like far outnumbered those that did. Since you've clearly established yourself as an Orwell fan and have a liking to 1984-like scenarios, I feel the need to point out that Mirror's Edge is only $4.95 on Direct2Drive, right now. Give it a go, if you haven't already.
