  • The Tao Of Gaming: How To Play

    I want to say I probably think about games more than I play them, which makes sense, when you factor in the notion I not only write about them, but have held jobs and worked gigs that require me to do research on them, interview people within the industry, talk shop with other industry vets,… Read more

  • Death Of The Dev: Leave My Single Player Alone

    I’m realizing as I type this that my sense of decorum tends to waver whenever I’m in a less than mood, but I suppose that is likely not uncommon in any vocational standard, job or otherwise.

  • Money Can Be Exchanged For Goods And Horse Armor

    In spite of the terror reality relentlessly rains down upon me, my flirtations with gaming persists unabated.

  • Nintendo Indie World Showcase Rocking The Right Vibes

  • The Exhaustion Chronicles: Video Games I Slept On This Week

    As I sit here with bloodshot eyes and a sore body, knowing I still have one more overnight shift left to do before my work week is over, mulling over ideas in an attempt to fulfill my self-imposed status quo of writing about games everyday, I catch myself from nodding off right before my head… Read more

  • Moral Negation In Video Games

    *DISCLAIMER: I’m prefacing this article with a reality check that anything discussed hereafter represents a thought experiment involving philosophical deconstructionism, and the metaphysics involved with players as autonomous agents reacting within a simulated environment, and not a serious concern over ethical implications with either the gamer, or developer in question. Thank you for understanding.* In… Read more

  • System Shock: The Metaphysical Interpolation of “Fingerfeeling” Game Design

    Did you get through the title without going crossed eyed or nodding off briefly? Points for trying if you’re still reading this if either or neither case may be, the fact you remain invested in the notion of breaking down what “fingerfeeling” means is what counts. It’s not what you may initially think, I swear… Read more

  • To Do List: Save The Media Dimension While Deconstructing It Through The Lens Of Hegelian Philosophy- Check

    It’s Hegel Time The effort of creation is a difficult, messy process, and has a tendency to produce crazy results when things get out of hand…but hey, as long as you have an audience for it, anything truly bizarre, no matter how insane, can work, right?

  • Video Game Philosophy: Nostalgia Is A Mad Beast

    Memory can be a cruel mistress, leading us to believe we had something so beautiful, only to stare blankly into the cold face of reality upon a wayward return with the hopeful zest everything would be as we left it, and we are both amazingly correct and terrifyingly wrong at the same time. Not all… Read more

  • Placating PlayStation

    Sometimes, traveling off of the beaten path can be a tricky endeavor, as the trail to travel lacks the guide book that can help one safely navigate the terrain, even if this safe navigation one seeks ends up being about something as silly as writing about video games. I say that in relation to the… Read more
