About Me
The poetic side of gaming life.
This blog is run by writer/gamer Zac Hegwood.
The purpose of this page is to give me an artistic outlet to express my love for gaming. Currently, that means writing literary poems about my favorite games. You can check them out by clicking the "Poems for Gamers" link above.

How to Write a Novel.
And you know, this is pretty much everything you need to know. The rest is detail, most of which is irrelevant…
(Stolen from http://www.nicalderton.com/blog/HowToWriteANovel/)
I tend to fall between the 2nd and 3rd pitfall…
C’mon, that’s not the only pitfall. There’s also:
5. Talking about the story more than writing the story
6. Angry badgers
7. Sarah Palin

Loading…
The world is waiting for you.
It lays bare, untrespassed, unplucked.
It’s valleys and mounds have been tended
in anticipation of your arrival.
You seem so trust-
worthy,
bathed in the Liquid Crystal Display.
The world can feel your
love and your
appreciation and
the world
is waiting. For you
to grab its wrists in that practiced grip
of control. To press
your muscles into its soft integument,
violent and learned in the ways of this—
your face no longer your own,
entangled now in meadow and stream,
elation, elevation, earthquakes and screams
until your body breaks beneath the weight of
this world
and it’s waiting to
fuck you—
to shatter every shadow in your mind
you were ever shallow enough to call a fetish—
the world will bend your body and snap your will
until the only breath you dare to waste
will be enveloped by the syllable
more
and the world is waiting
and you….
You’d love to see it again.
But out there, in the wilderness,
you’re only a child.
And you hope the world will understand
that in here, with all these lies and illusions,
you are waiting
for a new world
to begin.

In Human
You say I am only pixels.
A mesh of polygons, sutured into this form.
This false idol,
This shinning skin of humanity.
They say I am programmed to feel
Human.
I am said to exist
As an abstract.
A coded texture, infinitely looped
To initialize, to update, to draw.
You call me a rendered slave,
Obeying the will of my program.
Free will is a construct. An illusion. A ghost
In my machine.
How different we must be:
My self, made in your image, with no will of my own;
And you, following so obediently your manual—
the will of your god.-Zac Hegwood

Requiescat en Pace
A gentle push. One hand
On one shoulder, then gone.
Fused into the crowd
That cannot sense the hidden
Blade, pressed cold, held
Against the stranger’s wrist.
Above him, eagles catch
The heat of a hundred living
Bodies and ascend
Into the screaming sun.
A stray beam of daylight
Summons the gaze of a guard
As it shimmers on
A sudden twitch of steel.
nulla è reale…
The victim stumbles; falls.
tutto è lecito…
A kiss of scarlet spreads.
His cloak billows, distant
when the shrieks erupt.-Zac Hegwood

PETA Blasts Nintendo Over Mario’s Tanuki Suit
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is now blasting Nintendo over Mario’s use of the Tanuki suit. To go with their “Mario Kills Tanooki” campaign, the group has also released a flash game titled Super Tanooki Skin 2D.
“Tanukis are real-life raccoon dogs who are beaten and, as PETA’s undercover exposés show, often skinned alive for their fur. This winter, everyone can give raccoon dogs and other fabulous animals a 1-Up by keeping our wardrobes fur-free.” —Tracy Reiman, executive vice president of PETA
If you wanna check the game out, just head on over to PETA’s website. PETA had this to say about the release of the game:
“Tanooki may be just a ‘suit’ in Mario games, but by wearing the skin of an animal, Mario is sending the message that it’s OK to wear fur. We created our game to help inform people that in real life, Mario would be wearing the skin of an animal who was beaten, strangled or electrocuted, and it wouldn’t give him any special powers other than the power of self-deception,”
