4 out of 5 starsThe term “interface” says a lot about how humans view computers. Meaning literally “an exchange between faces,” the concept of interfacing anthropomorphizes computers so that one-on-one interactions with humans feel more natural. But interfacing isn’t just people talking to machines, computers also interface with other computers without the need for voice recognition or stupid biological organisms getting in the…

4 out of 5 starsCole has a decision to make. He just earned a stranger’s trust by defending him from some thugs. Cole can either accept a humble reward for his help or he can kill the stranger and steal everything he has. Cole checks his Karma meter, it’s glowing blue: the color of a hero. He decides it’s in his best interest to spare the stranger, accept his thanks, and earn “good” Karma points in the process. Finally, Cole has…

Braid2008
5 out of 5 starsIn the time that I've been playing and thinking about indie game superstar, Braid , enigmatic Swedish electronic band, The Knife released their first album in 7 years. 2006's Silent Shout was a watershed moment for The Knife, garnering heaps of critical praise for culling ideas represented in previous albums into a monster of an artistic statement that sounded unlike anything else. The particular trademarks of…

May 13, 2016
This is a transcript of one game of Push Me Pull You from the GBeast Quick Look. Other people in the comments were already remarking on the banter, so I wanted to transcribe it for posterity and aspiring radioplay performers. Quick Look: Push Me Pull You – Scene 1 – Act 2 VINNY: Yes yes yes! Niiiice! Niiiice! AUSTIN: That was a good sprint. That was a good sprint. Keep it wrapped. VINNY: Aw den...
Game of Thrones Characters as Video Game Consoles
Oct 7, 2013
This is probably the nerdiest thing I've ever put together, but I couldn't let this vast stock of Game of Thrones facts that've been piling up as I make my way through the books go to waste. This list is not conclusive; it's missing Robb and Catelyn specifically, but I couldn't think of a good console parallel for either. Also, it's supposed to be a joke, so there's that. What I enjoyed the mos...
Authentic Authenticity
Dec 2, 2012
"It's as close to the real thing as you can get without being there!" has become the philosophy behind use of the term "authenticity" as it pertains to video games. Notably, the word was used as part of a public relations strategy in promotion of the recently released modern military shooter, Medal of Honor: Warfighter ( MoHW ), which came under fire from critics citing laundry lists of feature...
Wii U as Portable Console: Lessons from Sega's Nomad
Nov 24, 2012
The Wii U has launched and Nintendo loyalists are busy testing out the console with their non-gaming loved ones. One of the big selling points of the system is its ability to play full games on the Gamepad controller's built-in touchscreen, without the need to turn on the TV. According to the marketing pitch, this feature frees up the TV for other members of the household and makes it possible...
Deep Time (DJ Mix)
Nov 10, 2012
It's been nearly 3 years since I made a disco-house mix, but I finally put a sequel together. "Deep Time" is not totally pure disco, but everything at least carries a notable funky vibe (slap bass, disco strings, etc.). I wanted a chance to share some of my favorite tracks of the year (" Inspector Norse "), and also return to a few of those artists from " Building Sensation ." This new mix runs...
