> (hijack)Has anyone else seen the trailer for the new Inferno videogame that’s coming out? I didn’t realise that Dante was actually an anime knight. And that Beatrice got kidnapped by demons. It looks beyond dreadful.

I doubt it’s going to be any good.

Having said that, I’ve known people who read Cyrano de Begerac, Dante’s whole _Divine Comedy_, and other great works of literature, simply because they were made aware of the great work by a poor adaptation.
