Thus begins my tribute the the recent excellence of episodic gaming. I don’t like the idea of big-name developers that put out a game with no ending and then hold the story ransom until they can get funding for the next installment. (And I’m looking at you, Assassin’s Creed and Dreamfall.) But Telltale Games is doing this episodic thing right.
This is the first in a five-part series that will chart my course from here to self-indulgent irrelevancy. (So we’ll basically be going full circle.)
Are Lootboxes Gambling?
Obviously they are. Right? Actually, is this another one of those sneaky hard-to-define things?

I was trying to make fun of how Silent Hill had lost its way but I ended up making fun of fighting games. Whatever.
Why Batman Can't Kill
His problem isn't that he's dumb, the problem is that he bends the world he inhabits.
Internet News is All Wrong
Why is internet news so bad, why do people prefer celebrity fluff, and how could it be made better?
Gamers Aren’t Toxic
This is a horrible narrative that undermines the hobby through crass stereotypes. The hobby is vast, gamers come from all walks of life, and you shouldn't judge ANY group by its worst members.
