There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Despite the name "Imagism," the stuff of provocation in poems and in games are the same: the behavior of artifacts.
When you play Braid, you enter into a relationship with its creator not by virtue of the "story" being told to you through fragments, nor by the puzzles that comprise its levels.
Rather, allegorical themes emerge from the game's temporal dynamics, each of which answers the question, "what if I could do it over again?"
