I wrote a little article on Tap today about my experiences with Gunpoint. Check it out! Gunpoint is an interesting game: it’s gotten a lot of press coverage for an indie demo, because it’s made by a person who is also writing about games and thus “in the press.” It inspires jokes about nepotism. I…

For my last two days of GDC, I went to a few very popular sessions and a couple of quiet ones. A few were development roundtables that prefer people not blog about their contents, but which were helpful to me as someone who is developing contents I’m not supposed to blog about. Other things: The…

So here I am, Day Two of GDC, Day One already in the bag. Here’s some of the stuff I saw on my first day of the GDC Main Conference, and the great Gamasutra coverage of them: Sid Meier – Interesting Decisions Mare Sheppard – Why I Hate Women in Games Initiatives Keiji Inafune –…

Today I put out a little something about Mass Effect 2. Read about that right here. Critical Distance is asking a tough question again, this time for February, and I have to admit I’m a little stumped there. I have written about love in the context of games. I drafted something for Valentine’s Day that I…

This week on Gamasutra, Emily Short wrote a fantastic short article about the Heroine’s Journey. I admire Emily and I think her analysis is bang-on, but it seems like there was some controversy in the comments about whether or not such a thing even exists. This is a topic near and dear to me. As…

Another blog at Tap, linked here! http://tap-repeatedly.com/2012/02/scenes-from-the-game-jam/ I am particularly proud of my “Game Jam” header photo. I searched online for cute pictures of jams to use as the header, but then decided I felt really bad stealing the pretty home-made jam photos from dedicated cooking blogs. Good food photos are so hard to take.…

Critical Distance is running a “blogs of the round table” challenge for people who pontificate about games, and I thought I’d jump in, because it seems like good times. The topic this month is “Being Other.” The idea is to discuss moments that a game made you feel like someone you are not. You can…
