I’m an enthusiast, a tireless advocate for innovation, and occasionally a zealot of those games and developers who I feel warrant devotion and veneration. More than anything else, I’m a person who feels privileged to have been at the cusp of this medium’s birth and evolution and I continue to be staggered and amazed at the incredible potency of gaming, both as a vessel for entertainment and as a potentially unique and unparalleled conduit for narratives. As a medium, videogames have evolved rapidly and deserve a more analytical, deliberately academic deconstruction than they have been afforded by the mainstream grotesquery that is contemporary game journalism. That said, I don’t pretend to give you anything more than my own perspective so feel free to disagree.
