I achieved 100% completion in Red Dead Redemption in just over 43 hours, and nothing else I’ve played this year has come close to equalling that gaming experience. I normally avoid 100% completion—I would like to think I have better things to do, and I believe my friends and family tend to agree. In this [...]

I made it to Mexico last night. I could write some thoughts here, but look, Chris Dahlen did it for me. He has written an interesting piece about the cynicism of RDR’s storyline within the constraints of a world that was designed to be “badass.”

Red Dead Redemption was the most exciting game I didn’t get to play at PAX East. I’d barely heard of it prior to the convention, and I certainly wasn’t going to wait in that line to try a brief demo, but I left PAX craving old western films and quietly counting down the days until [...]

As I build a gallery page to display the work I exhibited, I thought I would share a panorama of the studio space I share with Emily Garfield. More thoughts and [...]

This weekend I participated in another Game Jam, this one organized by Darius Kazemi and Emily Daniels and hosted at the DINO/Sprout space near Davis in Somerville between Saturday morning and Sunday evening evening. I teamed up with Michael Carriere to make a fun little platformer, and to try my hand at some new kinds [...]

This blog was intended to be about games, art and animation, not music, but with no disrespect meant to Bioshock II, Massive Attack’s Heligoland is my most anticipated sequel of the week and I would like to devote a few words to the album. Introduced to the band through “Dissolved Girl’s” brief appearance in The [...]
