Stephen King’s IT and other things

It’s here. It’s finally arrived. Stephen King’s IT. It’s what everybody’s talking about. It’s what it’s all about. It’s popular with the it crowd. This is It. It’s… is it supposed to be written in capitals? Does that make It easier to parse?

This week the ATTeam have been to see IT, the new movie based on the Stephen King novel and named after the world’s most common English pronoun. Although as it turns out it’s not as easy to get a decent Who’s On First bit out of it as you might think.

In this episode Chella and Drew also manage to fulfil the whole brief, discussing all three of the sanctioned ATTopics: games, films, and stuff. Drew reports back from the procedurally generated world of Heat Signature and Chella’s been visiting some non-places in the surreal interactive art piece, Islands: Non-places. Finally, in Stuff news, Chella talks about her new haunting podcast fix, Alice Isn’t Dead. All that after our analysis of the film we saw last weekend – and that’s It.

Chella Ramanan
Chella hails from the UK and joined Gameindustry.com around the year 2000. It was so many moons ago, she can't quite remember. Back then, the only women you saw in the games industry were in bikinis and vertiginous heels at trade shows - oh how times have changed, kind of. Chella started as a humble reviewer, but soon became our European Correspondent and keeps us on top of industry happenings across the Pond. She tends to like the weird Japanese games we've never heard of, so that's good for making us look all-encompassing and stuff. Chella does like games, so don't be fooled by the copious amount of columns devoted to bemoaning the lack of variety in the industry. When she's not surfing (the sea, not the internet) or camping up mountains, Chella likes a good action RPG (especially if it's sci-fi), anything with a good narrative and like we said, the weirder the better. She's also a regular in the GiN Lounge, but that's just because we like her accent.
