Funomena’s Robin Hunicke believes in games with intentional play
The Intentional Play movement is aimed at inspiring developers to create games that have a bigger purpose than fun. It’s for developers who want to create learning, understanding, and a meaningful purpose behind their work. Among the believers is Robin Hunicke, the CEO and cofounder of San Francisco-based indie game studio Funomena. She has been […] https://goo.gl/pa3ZUy #Playistic
When I ask people who have very high cultural tastes in design, music, or film what games they play, it's usually just "whatever's around". They're not employing the same highly developed cultural sensitivities in their game-playing lives that they employ in other cultural arenas. It's not that they can't: they don't, because games aren't perceived more broadly as being worth the time and effort to engage with. And frankly games are worse for it, because we need more broadly cultured people to enter the conversation. So I think that's really at the heart of it. New types of indie games help break that perception of the 'well-established circle' that can be intimidating if you don't know what's out there.
Jamin Warren, founder of Kill Screen, in Offscreen. I am too ill-informed about the state of game culture to agree or disagree with him, but found this a useful observation at least.
Your Pretentiousness About Portal Hurts... (A response to Jamin Warren)
Your Pretentiousness About Portal Hurts… (A response to Jamin Warren)
It’s another episode of pretentious bullshit with Hipster McGee! (Insert audience clapping noise here) I believe that everyone has some amount of prejudice in them. It’s impossible to avoid. I have a Filipino lady-friend who has talked about how much the Asian communities hate one-another. If I’ve learned anything from #BlackLivesMatter, it’s that the race-baiting is alive and well. Whether…

SocJus Wars 6: The return of the Jamin
So... Jamin Warren of PBS gaming made a video about portal, and how very feminist the game is. Of course he has some reasons. Such as having a silent main character in which you can proyect, which happens to be female... or the fact that GLaDOS is female.... despite being a machine, and thus genderless by definition.
This nonsense HAD to be addressed, and so we did. I mean, he’s using creepy-pasta to prove his points. Somehow this got harder than expected. Not because of his logic was solid, but because his logic was brain-breaking, to the point we see for once the real person behind Top Hats and Champagne, in an imprecedented out of character moment.

More "Cultural Appropriation" Nonsense... (A response to PBS Gameshow)
More “Cultural Appropriation” Nonsense… (A response to PBS Gameshow)
I can’t believe that PBS funds this bullshit. I legitimately can’t. This is the ultimate mind-buggery, to me. After all, it’s garbage! This is total garbage! I don’t know how many of you will remember a character who runs this stupid program, who I called Hipster McGee. Well, it seems that our idiotic hipster friend is at it again with video games, this time feeling the need to talk about…

A brief cameo by Mike Rugnetta and Jamin Warren on this week’s It’s Okay to Be Smart about the Grand Canyon.
They just happened to be in the neighborhood.
Have your friends still not seen the season finale of Game of Thrones? Don’t worry, you can talk to us about it instead!
PBS Game Show looks at the game mechanics of the series.
Let's take a moment to examine how men are treated in video games. (It's not good either.)
Even though video games are predominantly created by men, the way male characters are treated is astoundingly problematic.
It's not that violent video games are bad or that every male character needs to have a dadbod or that no video game should ever have any of the features he objected to.
The problem is not the existence, but the prevalence.
Watch Jamin Warren explain these four points about stereotypes of men in video games here.
