Jordan Wayne Long contacted us via e-mail to share a project he’s beginning in July.  He’s a performance artist from Arkansas and as a piece on trauma and the ways to deal with it; he’ll be shipping himself in a tiny box across country armed with only Lord of the Rings Online to keep him company.  We sat down with Jordan to discuss the project and the motivation behind it.  Take a look!

MMORPG: Well let’s start with the obvious, Jordan. Tell everybody who you are, what your background is, and what exactly it is you’re doing.
