I've not even played Journey, but this is awesome. If you're wondering about video game storytelling the EC folks often have a lot of amazing insight and this is exceptional. Note, this is in reference to The Hero With A Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell.

First of all, wow, I cannot believe my horrible grammar in the thread title, my apologies. Second of all, this article turned out to be great and HULK took a very astute and well deserved poke at Bioware's shitty writing in it: http://filmcrithulk.wordpress.com/2011/10/06/hulk-explains-why-we-should-stop-it-with-the-hero-journey-shit/

The EC videos mention this article, so it's apropos and it's worth reading if you're at all interested in this kind of stuff.
