I’ve been bugging Gregory Weir to play Borderlands for a while now. There’s a reason for this, apart from my insuppressable urge to be annoying: Borderlands is almost certainly the best game I’ve played in a long time. It’s so good, in fact, that I’d like to write a long …
The first Wikileaks Stories game is out, and it couldn’t be a better one. The radical artists’ collective La Molleindustria, well-known for works like Every day the same dream and Oiligarchy, have released Leaky World: a playable theory. Leaky World is an excellent demonstration of the ability of the interactive …
My new Escapist article is up, and this one is very personal. It’s the complicated, bitter, glorious, silly and entirely strange history of Phenomenon 32. The Game That Ate The Earth. And it did. Comments, shares, retweets and musical renditions are welcome. But be nice. Writing this was extremely difficult.

The Infinite Ocean is now available at Newgrounds. As always, your support in the form of votes, comments and sharing is greatly appreciated. I’ve been a bit under the weather lately, mostly due to my stomach slowly transforming into an alien lifeform, but I’m managing to work here and there… …
The Infinite Ocean is now available at Kongregate! Rating/sharing/nomming will be appreciated. I’m slightly sick at the moment, which has kept me from updating. It’s already getting better, though, so I’ll be back to work tomorrow, I hope.
The Infinite Ocean is on Rock, Paper, Shotgun! This is very awesome, and now I have yet another reason to be thankful to Terry Cavanagh. Speaking of Terry, I’m also getting really heavily into my new draft of Nexus City, the RPG that we’re making together. The current draft (of …
Gnome’s Lair, a website I absolutely adore, has posted a review of The Infinite Ocean. Such a brilliantly written story isn’t common in our day and age. Then again, a sci-fi game that avoids being technophobic is even rarer, let alone one that manages to not only to tackle major …
