A Game of Me. Somewhere between fiction and reality, there's life. (And other horrible movie-tagline-esque sentiments.). Tuesday, May 04, 2010. Memories of murders at the movies. 2003, directed by Bong-joon Ho. I'd not heard of this film until I saw it listed among Cinema Scope's best films of the past decade.

The film works both as an absor...

A Game of Me. Somewhere between fiction and reality, there's life. (And other horrible movie-tagline-esque sentiments.). Sunday, March 28, 2010. High Hopes for Game Room. Wanna come over and play Asteroids? For me, the appeal of Game Room is clear. But then, I grew up with the Atari 2600 and with smoky, neon-lit arcades in which you couldn't hear yourself think over the noise of all the machines. What wonderful times those were. We all had that dream, right? I like game rooms a lot. I picked up a flashli...

A Game of Me. Somewhere between fiction and reality, there's life. (And other horrible movie-tagline-esque sentiments.). Saturday, January 23, 2010. I remember watching raindrops roll. On the windshield of my father's car. Speeding under the stormy all-swallowing sky. I would pick one. Whose journey seemed promising. I was absorbed in the outcome. Would it work its way to the window's edge and escape alone. Or would it touch another. Links to this post. Sunday, January 10, 2010. Up in the Air. Clooney is...

More Russian: Modern Warfare 2 and Games in a Post-24 World (Spoilers). One of the criticisms I've read levelled at the campaign is that the writing is poor and the story is ludicrous. I agree completely that the story is ludicrous. I think that most video game stories are ludicrous. But so what? That would never happen! Links to this post. 8-4 Play 6/26/20...

Greetings from Tijuana, Mexico, where the thing to do on a Saturday night is stay in your room writing entries in your blog! And anyway I'm not interested in making them. This is a quick and dirty, off-the-top-of-my-head celebration of the games I personally enjoyed the most. My favorite game of the year is Grand Theft Auto IV.

A Game of Me. Somewhere between fiction and reality, there's life. (And other horrible movie-tagline-esque sentiments.). Friday, March 12, 2010. Green Zone: Perhaps a bit too satisfying. 8221; It's too precise in its confrontation of an issue that made many of us feel misled and deeply unsatisfied. Trying to vicariously deliver the satisfaction we'll never get from that situation feels a bit like cheating here. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). High Hopes for Game Room.

One day you're waiting for the sky to fall. And next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all. When you're lovers in a dangerous time. Bruce Cockburn, Lovers in a Dangerous Time. Ohh, how I love/hate Lumines! When I wrote up my favorite games of 2008, I called this my odd game out, because the perplexing moderation of so many wonder...
