I agree with most of what you said and i well add some of my comments about the game the game story does not draw you in it more draw you out (the few moments you get it lol) 2. I would not say the puzzles are that hard but you do run around wondering what i am doing 3. you beat the game and you don't understand why or how cause you did not know what the fuck your doing 4. You sometimes find yourself playing backwards 5. they add puzzles that are hard and when you find out how to do them it does not do anything to help you 6. you end the game in the same place you started 7. when you beat the game your thinking what the fuck i could have beat this game 10 hours ago and why the hell did i even play this piece of crap 8. you replaying finding out the game is so easy it makes you feel dumb because you thought it was hard the 1st time 9. Your can guess how the game ends and you find out your right 10. You get things you well never use and if you use them you loss the game and they don't tell you that 11. the gameplay and story is so dumb it makes you want to kill yourself. 12. You think the game might be good because of looking at the graphics and trailers it kinda makes you want to play. Then when you play it makes you want to take a hammer and smash the game because you think nobody would buy it if you solled it That is myst all of them I don’t mind non-violence games and point and click (you don’t need it to have action) but myst sucked.

It's a book outside my major area of research, that likely won't be included on my orals reading list, however, so I doubt I'll get back to it soon. I'd love it if you could better explain the concept of the "unthinkable" to me, though-- I remember being uncomfortable with how it was used in the book, but that was over four years ago. Tell me where I went wrong in my understanding of Trouillot's use of the term, please-- maybe you'll inspire me to give the book a second look! I don’t doubt that I may have.
