Video Game Cartoon Redux
Cartoons are my favorite thing next to video games, and it does not seem like all that long ago that the two had a strong mix; securing their place in the world in the late 80’s early 90’s television scene. I am often accused of leaning heavily on my nostalgia for certain things, but over the past few weeks I have been diving back into many of these old video game cartoons, and I see a lot of reasons why they worked so well in their time. They may not hold up for everyone...

Metal Gear Solid and the Tuskegee Experiment
Welcome back to Gaming For Official Use Only. Since we just had Halloween week here at the Rebellion, I thought it would be fun to explore more horror related conspiracies. Now, I could have gone for any of the various conspiracies involving the supernatural, but I’d rather stay with something plausible. As I considered the myriad of conspiracies I could cover, it made me think of what actually makes things scary in horror fiction. This led me to the topic of “science gone wrong.”

Grand Theft Auto 5: A New Perspective
It’s one of the new animals you’ll find around the great state of San Andreas, and I’ve killed it. And as its blackened corpse slowly rolls down the foothills of Vinewood, I feel a tinge of sadness. He deserved better than this, but I’ve got much bigger problems than my own latent psychotic tendencies.

Gotta Own ‘em All
Ownership is a very strong feeling. Knowing that you own something and that it is fully yours is quite empowering. We all learn about ownership at some point in our lives, and usually struggle with the meaning throughout our younger years. I was taught at a very young age about ownership by my father; owning my mistakes, owning my accomplishments, owning pets, and physically purchasing something – making me the owner.

Game Overkill – Doom
If you follow me on Twitter and were paying attention (by following #GameOverkill), you might have noticed that as I started playing Doom, I slowly came to the realization that this game I thought I loved for two decades… yeah, I had never played it. Turns out I had it confused with Doom II all this time. I even had the original on my personal list of games everyone should play at least once, but not its sequel.

Yesterday, we wrote up NYU Game Center’s student showcase, and one of the stars of the show was Lie to the Devil, a really cool, severely troubling game where a player sits down with a sinister MacBook that tries to con them into putting a bullet in their head.

Twitch changes its rules of conduct to forbid topless and "sexually suggestive" streaming
You may have the body of a Greek god, all rippling muscle and taut sinew, but no matter how good you look in a Speedo (or out of one), Twitch would very much appreciate it if you'd keep yourself covered up while you're streaming on its service. In fact, it's gone so far as to insist on it, with an update to its rules of conduct mandating that all streamers dress "appropriately."

The actor read his new children’s book, The Rhino Who Swallowed a Storm, to the Rooster Teeth cast and crew before reading another “children’s” book more aptly suited for adults called Go the F*** to Sleep.
