Hi all,
Thought you might be interested in seeing Mud included in a great BBC documentary on the history of video games.
You can watch this on BBC iPlayer here:
Games Britannia - 3. Joystick Generation
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00phmrs/Games_Britannia_Joystick_Generation/
Richard Bartle is interviewed in the last 10 minutes, amid some ancient mud screenshots, explains the power of the avatar and the hero's journey. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monomyth)
Happy holidays
