Evolving Games 0
Games that react to the player and make things more difficult based on their input. Suggestions welcome.Bastet was going to be an entry here, but it's not in the database, probably because it's considered to be a tetris clone. In that one it takes th

Literary References that Don't Cause Pain 0
Sometimes people quote for the sake of quoting. Hell, even in literature I get the feeling people are just trying to show off how smart they are half the time, and not trying to say anything of their own. But when a work actually complements the stuf

Rashomon 0
Play the game multiple times to see different angles of the same event. Haven't experienced enough games to fill this out, but want to note every example because this is something that games can do quite well if done properly.

Writers Matter 7

Coin-Op Vignettes 4

Tech I Can't Stand 0
Yes, the future is waiting for us in the future. It will be awesome, or terrifying, or both! But damn it, some tech advances are a lot further away from us that we like to believe. So much so that near-future games tend to show of tech that, if it a

Demo Life 3

Characters I Feel Differently about than Others Seem to 2
No entry for SWTOR's Bounty Hunter NPC Skadge, so I'll mention him here. His whining is funny, but it's hard to like a guy who... well, let's face it, it's Black Whirlwind again.

Weird Translations Remembered 2
"All Your Base Are Belong to Us" may be in the permanent geek canon, but I never learned about it until much later. This is a short list of the weirdness I actually experienced personally, and will hopefully grow the more I remember.

Gold? What's that? 0
I'm still waiting for a classical barter system, but for now, these crazy things will have to do. Was thinking of putting up dollar games too, but really, that's not what I'm getting at so much as alternate currencies. The one example I was going to

As Sporty as I'll Get 0

Wild West Moments 0
I'm a bit jazzed about some of the new Western-themed games. I'm going to use this as a sort of catch-all for wild west moments of all types, even stuff that wasn't Western per-se. That means when it felt like something straight out of Peckinpah, it

Hidden SHMUPS 2
Weird as this may sound, there are a few games out there that try to put shoot-em-up into their perfectly innocent side-scrolling action platformer or action RPG. Here's the only two I can think of right now, but feel free to suggest others.

Emotional Shot to the Gut (Spoilerburgh) 1
