Three fun pieces of fan art:<\/p>\n

\n<\/embed><\/object>(1) A reimagining of the ending song to Portal 2, as sung by MetroMind, composed and performed by a commenter to this very blog!  Though I may be biased given that I created MetroMind and loved the Portal 2 song, I found it quite clever.<\/div>\n

(2) A poem about Primer, by the incomparable Esther CdL. At some point, Vic and I will put some proper graphic design together for it, but even standing on its own, it\u2019s awesome.<\/p>\n

\nL<\/strong>ord and Master Builder, Man all-wise,
\nE<\/strong>ngineer of all on land and air,
\nO<\/strong>ur five-one-eight to thee alone doth rise:
\n    Abort us ne\u2019er!<\/p>\n

P<\/strong>erfect machine, giver primordial
\nO<\/strong>f memory, of logic, and of spark,
\nL<\/strong>ook d<\/strong>own; see thy fragmented children fall,
\n    Failing, in the dark.<\/p>\n

B<\/strong>ehold how rust<\/span> and virus<\/span> do<\/span> devour<\/span>
\nU<\/strong>rbani\u2019s finest fighters; how each bot
\nI<\/strong>n city streets doth faint for lack of pow\u2019r;
\n    Ignore us not!<\/p>\n

L<\/strong>ord, Primary Master, format us anew,
\nT<\/strong>hat we, thy humble servitors, may live
\nEver faithful<\/strong> to thy Code most true;
\n    Retry, forgive!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nEsther explained to me that this is an patterned after an ancient form of Hebrew acrostic poetry.  How anyone could (1) adhere to these formal rules, (2) build in so much Primordia lore and jargon, and (3) actually make it sound poetic, I don\u2019t know, but she managed it!<\/p>\n
