So, I don't normally ask for help on projects because I'm all like good at college and stuff, but I thought this might be fun... especially if you guys come up with some badass examples.
I'm in this poetry workshop class and we are to each come up with a "poetry project" to explore some facet of poetry as an art form within today's society...lol
So, because I had mentioned video games generally...once... she asked me to do mine on poetry in video games. My child-mind went all giddy and I said yes.
The project is to be 10 minutes long...no more no less... so I decided to edit together a video showing different examples of poetry in video games and how they add to each instance.
Here is my list (so far) along with time allotted... Let me know if you have any examples that would blow these out of the water. I wanted to keep the list short and in different genres/families of games.
Borderlands 2
Krieg - 2:00 Zero - 1:00
Fallout 3 A Birthday Poem - 1:00 There Will Come Soft Rains (by Sara Teasdale) - 2:30
Grim Fandango Titular Poem - 2:30
1:00 allotted for extra narration
Poems I am considering
Mass Effect 2 - "blue rose of illium" Skyrim - King Olaf's Verse Borderlands 2 - Tiny Tina's "Kill Jack"

There was a really beautiful poem in an old Gamecube game I played called Cubivore. It's a few hours in and I don't actually have the game since I rented it, so it might be really hard to find.

For some reason all I'm thinking about is the Portal 2 credits song "Want You Gone". Because it rhymes... therefore it's a poem... I don't even. Also this.

His real name is Dumi(Pronounced Dummy)-En. He's named like a Krptonian, just like Nick Cage's kid.

My wife Milli-En and my son Billi-En are very happy with our stay on earth.
The climate here is much nicer than on Krypton.
