Today’s blog post is on “Jiro Dreams of Sushi”; great movie, raises great questions. Admittedly it turned into a bit of a personal post on work, striving for a dream and all the troubles on the way, but I’d love you to read it anyway.

I’m terribly hyped about SuperGiant Games’ new title, Transistor. I also wrote a new blog up about why you should be too. An excerpt:
Which is cool, because I’ll admit I felt a little weird about the female protagonist; especially since she’s going to be mute, I think I’d have a harder time connecting. This is different from, say, a female version of Commander Shepard, who I could at least influence in some way.
But to be honest, I don’t think that’s going to be a bad thing - instead of viewing Red as an extension of myself, it may be more of an experience of her story, not “my story, through her.” In doing so, I think Transistor will be something great in that it’ll legitimize this kind of gameplay to a regular audience. It’ll also (hopefully) change more people’s’ minds about women-centered stories being any less valid or entertaining; after all, demographics and marketing data shouldn’t keep us from experiencing these things, just because people think dudes can’t “handle” it.

Wrote a little something about four of my favourite video game OSTs for writing. This includes the scores to Bastion, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game, Journey and Splice!
