Pseudocontest, day two

It's time to break down the ingredients. I've already spent some time yesterday thinking what can be cooked of the stuff provided. And one thing must be said: the more awesome phrases, the harder it is to combine them into anything fruitful. This is the rule of Pseudocontest. Screw that, some hard work should give me a decent splash of memes to work with.

So, I took the mind mapping software (I would normally use a sheet of paper, but since I had an idea to publish it here it must have been made at least readable). Here is the breakdown of the ingredients. The iron rule worked as predicted. An hour of brainstorming left me with a number of semantic fields and pictures, but nothing with a real spark.


I've starred at my maps and tried to figure out WWJWD. Best answer to this question was email him, second best - listen to some of the Rush albums. I've picked the latter and managed to get some ideas. Next episode - a handful of game pitches.
