There are dozens of games like Beyond Citadel buried on Steam and itch.io, some that consider themselves artworks of erotic gore and others that split themselves into the category of surreal hyper violence or pure pornography. The filth rises high while we’re not paying attention to it - in a country that grapples with a descent into violence, paranoia and increasingly policed obscenity. We’re recreating the circumstances that have led to the rise of avant garde art, while lacking the abi...| ROSES ARE RED, VIOLENCE IS TOO
the glossy faced babies of capital move once again. this time: the conservative parties are gonna win, and they’re sure of it: and have you heard lately it’s cool to be conservative? wear your paranoia on a sleeve, weaponize your fear. hollow out your own heart to be at the center of the room. a...

BNC, the anti-war committee that leads a massive consumer protest effort in the united states and abroad against the vicious apartheid state of Israel, an arm of the overseas continual American war effort wrapped up in conspiracy theories, warmongering and blood has released an official statement about targeting Microsoft, for information recently made available that...

I’ll be real in saying when I started writing about videogames I’m not exactly sure what I expected. No, no: now is the time I think it’s allowed that you can can kill me. I started off with working class stories about people in my life – but when everyone is dead, arrested, or doesn’t... Read More| ROSES ARE RED, VIOLENCE IS TOO
Bayonetta was uniquely feminine: she was a character in the way a Masculine Man could never be: butterflies and sexuality and sensuality wrapped up in violence and a body covered in her own hair draped to the floor. The Natural Oils of a Woman in a videogame, for all to see: is there not some kind of truth in the choices that we don’t get to make?| ROSES ARE RED, VIOLENCE IS TOO
Asking whether Concord was a bad video game is beside the point. It could have been the second coming of Team Fortress 2 and we could’ve seen the same thing happen. It was natural for a studio made up mainly of, like, Destiny and Overwatch developers to make a game that vaguely resembled Destiny and Overwatch. For me the question is, “Was Concord set up for success?” Did Sony bother showing anyone the game beyond the trailer that appeared at Geoff Keighley’s Summer JOI Session? Who th...| ROSES ARE RED, VIOLENCE IS TOO
For saying that certain games are ahead of their time, Hawken has more of this constantly emerging tech-war as the backdrop: the same kind of far-flung science fiction where swords are guns and guys are still wearing big suits of armor. Hawken is mostly renaissance fare: we're in matches and our flags and decals are more literal. I've got maybe three choises to start. Now hold on, I have to list something here: what's the difference between street fighter and Street Fighter.| ROSES ARE RED, VIOLENCE IS TOO
And where we have our Geoff, he is not an avatar for players even when full buck-ass-nude scanned by Hideo Kojima for the videogame Death Stranding: even depicted, we never see the real Geoff only his hologram from where he resides in the safety of an apocalyptic bunker. The man cannot be reached, attained, or controlled. What interests do you think have the mans ear? Is he behind his own puppet strings, or do we dance to his.| ROSES ARE RED, VIOLENCE IS TOO
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...

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... Read More| ROSES ARE RED, VIOLENCE IS TOO
