Geoff comes out on stage, seldom dressed like the men who make videogames in T-shirts and blazers or ill fitting dress shirts – he’s sharp and dynamic, the light plays well with his skin. Geoff looks almost uncanilly like he did a near 30 years ago when he debuted in my consciousness on Tech TV….
COLLECT WATER TO SURVIVE
ten years is a long time. studios and businesses can shutter then – ten years ago, much more of Gaza was standing then stands now. Ten years ago my room shades opened to a chain link fence and an empty lot. There are more with less, I’d think to myself. Patting myself on the back…

Every year on DEEP-HELL.COM we come together, as an extension of thanks/torture to the readers that have been supporting us through the years.

ON WHICH WE USED TO RELY
by Karin Malady Heaven’s eye gazes upon a toyetic crowd screaming and running as Godzilla walks across the city. A single step of the monster’s slow gait outpaces the fleeing population, crushing them beneath. Monsters are larger than life. When the atomic breath destroys miles of people and buildings, the survivors can’t help but stare up…
FULL TIME REALISM
In the opening hours of Dread Delusion, I’m met with the face of a ghostly woman who looks down on me from above. She’s like something out of a dream, and she asks me plainly if there’s any power to be found in my delusions. We both share something together there: she has to be…
HALLWAY TO YESTERDAY
In 2006, I am hunting down the obscure corners of the internet for a game called Dokustu Monogatari. It’s the Japanese, pre translated to english title of a game called Cave Story. On an obscure pixelart forum where eyeballs pour over the final parts of the games portrait style, the cool people know about Doukutsu…

IT’S TIME TO BUY THE VAN
What’s your dream job? is it, looking far afield and turning the infinite realities of your mindscape into toys for others to play with? Punching code in at a computer? Making conceptual art, dying in the woods? My dream job is to watch cartoons and drive around in a big van, sleeping with the doors…
THE LOST HIKER
2012 was the year my life got off track, it’s the year videogames became real: a tangible thing with stakes, and an irritating way of putting myself into every situation I could. Videogames were it, man, a way of passively relating myself to every human being around me. Murakami, renowned Japanese Author, has a book…
