I was organzing my office the other day and found a bulging folder full of game notes. Hundreds of pages of notes. As I thumbed through them I couldn't believe how thorough I used to be. Like Laura, now it's a couple of teeny post-its if I'm lucky. I just can't be bothered to map out whole areas, draw pictogram after pictogram, keep lists, check them twice. I think gamers just reach a saturation after a while and get too overloaded to create yet another 30 page opus of notes.
In-game journals forever!!!
Cool article, Emily.
