It looks as though word is getting out about the HintWiki. Since last week, two people, complete strangers, have put up pages of hints for AGON Episode 3: the Pirates of Madagascar and Trace Memory. Très cool.
I’ve added hints for Dreamfall (the sequel to The Longest Journey) to the HintWiki.
On the Apr. 21, 2006 edition of Point of Inquiry, Lauren Becker has an excellent and non-mushy editorial on environmentalism, “Have You Been Saved?” (the show is here; the editorial starts at the 1:50 mark).
