Gamergate hit a few years ago. There’s that big moment where everyone came out to harass a single person. They dressed it up in as many buzzwords and ideas as they possibly could. the rivers of information were internally poisoned by “ethics in games journalism.” Meanwhile, people on YouTube exchanged handshakes for money and free…
LIFE AND CONCRETE
I’m thinking, staring at my computer at 3am, that I hope this is some kind of renaissance. AS I have been doing for the last few days – the only video game I have had time for is called Session. Released only relatively recent, it’s one of many recent skateboarding related affairs. I want to…

A brief and apologetic conversation later, there I was. Flat footed on concrete in the Arizona sun. A feeling like…
UNSTOPPING
At night in my dreams, it’s always the same thing. The world drowns in fire around me. Like many things, this mostly has to do with the fact that I played too much R-Type as a kid. The unique vision of the apocalypse that these spaceship vs. 1 million guys games offered is unparalleled. Different…

DRACULA’S CASTLE
while we pass on in just a few days into a new decade, my mind still reels from the past. there will likely be an article about why it’s so impossible to succintly sum up a decade like this one before the end of the year, but now, here we are. all we can think…
