Don't Wait For Samuel Beckett's Lawyers, They're Already Here

By Alex Chen | January 01, 0001

Mike Rosenthal made an absurdist game based on the absurdist play Waiting for w69 slot เครดิตฟรี 188 บาท Godot. It’s a parody, a send-up of Samuel Beckett’s famous work. But you know what’s really absurd? How Beckett’s estate reacted to the game.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); Rosenthal says he was inspired by Beckett’s work, because Waiting for Godot asks the audience to interpret the play. Likewise, early video games asked players to interpret the graphics. “Ultimately, I wanted to make something selfish, something pxj เข้าสู่ระบบ I thought would be funny without ever considering the audience’s opinion,” he tells The Rumpus.net. w69 slot เครดิตฟรี 188 บาท “Taking all the fun out of a game is funny. Basing a game on a play where nothing happens is funny. And people played it!” One guy apparently made it to the 99th level. Beckett’s estate, however, didn’t think it was so funny pxj เข้าสู่ระบบ and asked Rosenthal to change the name, which they own. “Under American law, my game is considered parody and is protected under fair use, but I complied since I’m just a college kid who can’t really afford a lawyer,” says Rosenthal. “So I changed the name to Samuel Becketttt’s Lawyers Present: Waiting for Grodoudou.” Rosenthal even explicitly stated on his site that the game was referring to the Australian Samuel Becketttt, not to be confused with the winner55 ทางเข้า สล็อต Irish Samuel Beckett. The lawyers of Beckett’s estate weren’t amused. Thus, the game is now simply titled “Game”. According to Rosenthal, “Personally, I find winner55 ทางเข้า สล็อต it ironic that a publishing house established to surreptitiously print works censored by occupying Germans wants so strongly to censor my game.” The Rumpus Interview With Mike Rosenthal [The Rumpus via Quarter to Three]
