Monthly Archives: April 2011. A post by me on the rise and fall of John Romero. Over at Up Close and Personal. A few extra bits about the nonsense that is gamification. No tract of neoliberal pop-economics exhibits more credulous endorsement of industrial products, marketing, and ideology: playing. 8216;s Heather Chaplin writing for The Slate:. I really think we need to nip gamification in the bud. Self-help-as-social-control must be destroyed! Here’s a short one on exams in the 90s. More to come…. Build...

Oh look I’m not dead. Here’s something:. Just thought I’d draw your attention to Ben Abraham. 8216;s new video, which I plan to talk about in a bit more detail in the future. Just found this website allmytweets.net that puts “all” your tweets on one page. My page stopped on Christmas Eve 2011. I saw this thing I wrote about Edouard Levé’s. That I thought was worth re-posting. Suicide by Edouard Levé is not as depressing as you might expect Dec 24, 2011. That was a paragraph from Suicide. Dec 24, 2011.

A look at the Middle East. 8220;It would need a savant to work out the geopolitical implications of a post-Assad Syria”. February 9, 2012. At the risk of focusing too much on one topic. I want to bring up two great articles that were published over at RUSI debating a potential intervention in Syria. David Roberts. Argues against intervention (and donates the title of this post) while Michael Stephens. Photo from Power and Justice. H/t to The Gulf Blog. Posted in American Interventionism. On Is the United...

Statehood for Palestine? – بنسبة لنا

A look at the Middle East. December 1, 2012. Around 8,000 settlers were removed, causing mass protests around Israel. Forcible removal of five times that many from more religiously important land would likely result in much more serious and potentially violent civil unrest.

A look at the Middle East. Book Review of Norman Finkelstein’s Knowing too Much. May 4, 2012. Norman Finkelstein released his newest book approximately a week ago and eagerly I ordered it and began reading it. I have been interested in Norman Finkelstein for about five years when I first became involved in the Israel-Palestine conflict and his books have been a beneficial tool in deciphering the conflict. Even at one point… More Book Review of Norman Finkelstein’s Knowing too Much. March 2, 2012. Lately,...

Monthly Archives: June 2011. A room in the centre of a black void. Walls that can only be seen from one angle, that are only solid from one direction. Worlds that look like reality, but all it takes is a simple error and people float, their faces disappear, they walk through walls nothing is real. In a world of incorporeal beings a fictional contagious disease. Spreads through the population. Forget consumer electronics and sugary nostalgia for a moment and think about how strange videogames are. The...
