    Minisode 08 – Breaking the Mold and Cultural Musings

    Welcome to the last minisode of the year on the Critical Distance Confab.

    How this works is that each of us will go back and forth listing off three games each that we feel haven’t gotten the critical attention they deserve in the hopes one of your will take it as a challenge. These games can be anything from Ich.io art games to prestige level indie games to AAA games that fell through the cracks for whatever reason.

    On co-hosting duties with me this month on this chilly November day is GiantBomb writer and critic, Austin Walker.

    Braid 10th anniversary Critical Compilation

    …in early 2009, L.B. Jefferies came to the defence of Braid’s sometimes-maligned text fragments, arguing they are only misunderstood because they are deliberately experienced out of order. Similarly, in 2016 Ted Lee argued that a definitive, cohesive narrative could be built by reading all of Braid’s text backwards.
