Glad to see you...

If the gaming industry is an automobile, and the game designers are the drivers, then that makes us, the players, backseat drivers, and we'll be damned if we're gonna let the industry keep on heading the way it's going (good or bad) without letting them know what we think. So buckle up, feel free to complain about there being no air in the back, and bring your most critical and analytical mind to the open air discussion of the current age, Backseat Gamers!

Okami helps a game journalist cope.

A surprisingly touching story about the loss of a game journalists pet dog, Nick, and how his spirit lives on.

    I'm so conflicted here! I was going to make a lofty comment about how this story is some more strong compelling evidence that games truly are a powerful art form. After all, when was the last time your Legos helped you cope with the death of a loved one.

    But then I thought about it more. Legos could do that. Maybe building with those bricks was a close activity with a parent, and after they pass, construction of a lego monument to their memory would be an incredibly fitting act of mourning.

    Man, I love it when the lines get blurred. I realize that my definition of Art that is being laid out in my words on this blog really paint a pretty wide and encompassing picture, but maybe that's the way it is.

    In any case, I think this probably means we should all make an effort to give Okami a whirl.
