Videogames, Excess, and the Palace of Wisdom. Archive for December, 2010. When I Play Super Meat Boy. On December 30, 2010 1 Comment. I never let go of the run button. I sit 8 inches closer to the screen. I use a keyboard (because I am an idiot). I chew my bottom lip. I do trigonometry and calculus at the speed of light. I spend half the time on autopilot. I savor the squishy wet slap of my run. I get sick of ‘Princess in Another Castle’ jokes. I stay up till 4:00 AM. I get sick of all the retro-fetish.

Note to potential readers: If you don’t find the philosophy of language interesting then you can kindly fuck off. Wittgenstein once observed that it is impossible to define the term ‘game’. Oh sure we all think we know what the word means, however, when you really sit down and think about it it soon becomes a hopeless task. Are games fun? We don’t need one. Weirdly tha...

Videogames, Excess, and the Palace of Wisdom. Archive for December, 2009. On December 18, 2009. Now days when I catch the train I see more people playing videogames than reading books. There are yuppies tapping away at iPhones, young boys catching them all on their DSs and punk rock grrls with purple hair and PSPs.

Videogames, Excess, and the Palace of Wisdom. Archive for January, 2010. GOTY 2009 – Canabalt. On January 28, 2010 8 Comments. In a slighty disappointing year for games, where few in the mainstream barely even bothered trying to push the goal lines, there were not many games that can be called hip.
