Well, let us unpack that question a bit. 'Feast on' suggests that there's no scarecity, so this marrow is available in abundance. Also, if I was considering spine marrow as a means of survival I must be in a very strange situation because that sort of implies that I only have spines available. In large enough quantity to merit a feast. So this isn't like Alive when I'm forced into cannibalism due to some emergency.
I suppose what we're imagining here is a future scenario where the human spine has become a food source due to some sort of societal change in the way we deal with the dead. Perhaps recycling of human tissue has become an imperative, and it has become a taboo NOT to feast on spines instead of other food which is much worse for the environment or economy to support.
In conclusion, I would feast on human spine marrow under the appropriate socio-economic conditions, and if prepared with an appropriate blend of herbs and spices. -
Blue Cheese. Raisins. Sweetcorn. If you made a smoothie out of those three things, I would not drink that smoothie.

No. How would that even work? However, I do sometimes like to think about whether we are part of some very sophisticated computer simulation. I don't really think we are, but I think it's fun to think about in relation to some of the problems of fundamental physics today. Maybe we're just nudging up against the source code of the universe and having trouble making sense of it. Probably not, though.

I think they already are, just not of the kinds we're used to. They are capable of telling different kinds of stories to other media, and that's valuable. Designers are still learning how to make the best of what games have to offer, I'll accept that much.
And hey, even in more traditional narratives, like Grim Fandango... I think that definitely rivals other media. -
I obsessed over The Beatles 1962-1966 compilation. It had Yellow Submarine on it, which was a song I knew, and that was the only reason I pulled it out of my Mum's tape collection. Thus began my Beatles obsession!

At the moment I'd only do it if I could do it on my terms. The opportunities for indies are better than ever, but you still need a lot of luck to rise above everything else. Right place, right time, etc. It could be that one day a Surprised Man game makes it big, and we'll be set, but apart from that, I'm happy doing it in my spare time. As for what kind of games, no idea.

Dave Gorman's Googlewhack Adventure. I liked the show, and the book was sitting on a table at work, being given away for free, so I thought 'might as well.'

I like my name. Peter Silk is a good name. Admittedly the second half of the name is where it gets really good, but the first half is okay, and put together it has a good ring to it. Besides, I could change my name, quite easily, and yet I haven't.

I'd describe it in my style.

Probably all of those bodies.

There's a Brazilian place in the O2 Greenwich which is pretty much perfect. People come around and pile on delicious meats until you tell them to stop.

The World Wide Web. It brought the Internet to the masses and made it viable as communications medium. I can't think of anything that even comes close.
-
Probably someone I've never heard of.
