Deadly Premonition

…means of invoking the power of nightmares.

There are other crossovers: Agent York, much like Agent Cooper in Twin Peaks, regularly monologues to an unseen character – in the show, Diane; in the game, Zach. While Zach is seemingly posited as an invisible friend of Agent York, it becomes clear that Zach is in fact a stand-in for the player themselves. This startling breaking of the Fourth Wall is fascinating to Mary Goodden at God is a Geek, who discusses the intriguing shift in perception this role lends the gaming experience, particularly in light of one of the game’s…

…hand, to indie and fledgling gaming entrepreneurs, their gaming ventures were situated in a less competitive industry environment. Thanks to minimally censored access to Steam, the developing indie community has been able to achieve overseas market presence and evade head-to-head competition with the gaming behemoths in the domestic market. And despite the narrow market they’re operating in, most fledgling entrepreneurs barely confront mainstream game companies as there is no mainstream in their situated niches, such as the case of VR gaming. Therefore, despite the small market sectors to target, the indie and fledgling gaming entrepreneurs conceived of new business concepts…

…also profoundly nostalgic. In some ways that are just sentimental and retrograde but in some ways that sometimes seem a bit more sinister and reactionary. I guess people like Robert Topinka have talked about there’s a degree of nostalgia in all right politics and aesthetics, and where some of that crosses over with aspects of Cyberpunk and Vaporwave and these kind of engagements with outmoded but at the time futuristic technological aesthetics that allow people to sort of pine for a time before PC culture notionally ruined everything and civil rights ruined everything. But they’re also I suppose more reflexive…

Assassin’s Creed III

…traditional designer disdain of the color brown was given a pass, for the sake of historical fidelity. Erik Sofge at Slate Magazine:

Assassin’s Creed III offers the best of all possible worlds: a precise, truthful recreation of the late 1700s that’s so rich in minutiae that you can practically smell the moldering fish markets and freshly dropped horse manure. Walking the cobblestone streets of Boston means maneuvering around pigs, dogs, and street urchins, down lanes and alleys that are unrecognizable even to a longtime Boston resident like me.

…on the game’s official websites. We chose this method of finding loot boxes and probability disclosures through gameplay rather than say, for example, watching videos of other players engaging with loot boxes, because very few videos will actually show a player accessing the probability disclosures. So, we basically had to do this through gameplay in order to ensure that we did manage to find the probability disclosures.
