What's New, Memecat?

Mirror's Edge is a "first-person runner" from EA that appears to be inspired by parkour. Taking the role of the traceur are agents of a dystopian police state. They chase Faith across a mirrored skyline as she delivers messages and attempts to free her imprisoned sister.

After years of beta-testing this game, I have found that playing Outside is a much bigger challenge than this airy ad implies. But I keep playing it.

Well, son, I'll tell you:
Life for me ain't been no crystal stair.
It's had tacks in it,
And splinters,
And boards torn up,
And places with no carpet on the floor --
Bare.
But all the time
I'se been a-climbin' on,
And reachin' landin's,
And turnin' corners,
And sometimes goin' in the dark
Where there ain't been no light.
So boy, don't you turn back.
Don't you set down on the steps
'Cause you finds it's kinder hard.
Don't you fall now --
For I'se still goin', honey,
I'se still climbin',
And life for me ain't been no crystal stair.
