I've been a big fan of Rab Florence's work throughout the years. I particularly admire his ability to convey genuine warmth and affection for games, and this new series looks like that's the direction it's going to take. Looking forward to seeing more.

Re: File System Aging
Rab hits on an interesting note in the difference between the two names for the game: Another World vs. Out of this World.
Out of this World -- implies an escapist fantasy that wants to be torn away from the current world, no matter where. Fundamentally, a desperate dissatisfaction with life and reality.
Another World -- "not because you want to escape there. You do it simply just to exercise your imagination. To dream. Because in truth, as coarse and as chaotic as it is, this world is beautiful enough."
