Tradition, gatekeeping, and anarchy, part two

Let’s talk more about tradition and gatekeeping because the two go hand-in-hand much of the time. In yesterday’s post, I mentioned how much I hate gatekeeping. In music, video games, and just about anything else. That morphed into me musing about traditions and how I was mostly against them, too. Or rather, I did not… Continue Reading

I feel like I’m losing my mind

So, a hot bit of news in the gaming industry right now is that Sony dropped Hideo Kojima and his upcoming game–googles it to make sure of the spelling–Physint.

I don’t know why no one’s talking about it (I had written… Continue Reading
