Michael Ozias has a science fiction movie he'd like to make. Unlike other folks (like me, for instance) he's also got a script, a plan and a damned good trailer to back him up. Last of the Free is the story of two adolescents, Izan and Hana, on a quest to escape the misery of the dystopian future they live in. In an oppressive time, where freedom, innovation, and individuality are non-existent, they live for the society but long for themselves. Read on for an interview, production stills and to watch the trailer.

We've announced and then reviewed the game Bridge Troll here previously. Now I've sat down with it's designer, Alf Seegert and the fellow in charge of art, Ryan Laukat. We passed a whole truckload of electrons back and forth and I ended up with an excellent conversation on what makes folks like Alf and Ryan tick and how that evolves into a game you and I can play on our dining room tables.

Not too long ago we featured a review of the dead-on movie The Gamers: Dorkness Rising. I love this movie and I think if you've ever gamed seriously during any period of your life, you'll love it too.

I recently had a chance to chat via email with Simone Bevilacqua, creator of the Amiga/Windows (and now /Mac!) game BOH. We profiled BOH previously here at Troll in the Corner. Simone's been hanging around our comments section for a while and was gracious enough to answer my questions after I cyber stalked him for a bit. We'll also be featuring a review of the game in the near future and a legally binding promise to stay at least 100 meters away from Simone.
