Often I find myself being drawn away from video games; whether it be work, school, or some other activity, video games have a tendency to alienate us from the rest of the "artistic" world. That is why I am re-purposing my blog--that is no longer will there be random nonsensical ramblings about video games, my computer upgrades, or my desperate attempt to show that I indeed have a life beyond video games (college drinking parties anyone?). Yes, a reinvention is what this blog needs, so, without any more explanation here are some links I found rather interesting this week:
 
Transgaming: Mac & PC
 
German Expressionism and video gaming
 
Digg and how it too is manipulated by political parties
 
I've just decided, randomly, in a rather ambiguous way, that each of these will feature two articles about video games and another one just concerning what I feel is interesting. Although to end, I will leave you with a favorite quote of mine:

I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.
