On Living the Apocalypse in The Last of Us Multiplayer
I don’t think that I have much else to say about The Last of Us proper. People continue to play it and they keep getting pointed to my longish rambling bit about it (thanks to the people who are doing … Continue reading

Harvest Moon: Extreme Ethical Farmer Edition Pt. 3
Do I have a chicken yet? Only watching the video will reveal the truth. The Flower Festival happens in this video and the priest refuses to dance with me. I also talk about Marx’s analysis of the working day.

Harvest Moon: Extreme Ethical Farmer Edition – Part 2

On The Last of Us
This post contains spoilers for The Last of Us. 1. The Last of Us treads the familiar ground of a middle-aged white man making his way through the world. There are no surprises here. 2. I come back to this question all … Continue reading

Released: Resolving Conflict
New game, this time with Tara Ogaick, called Resolving Conflict by Acquiescing to the Overwhelming Violence of Time. I think it is best to play the game with headphones on. We created it for the “Your Enemies Don’t Have To … Continue reading
