Cut Paul "@OceanMarketting" Christoforo A Break—He Might Just Have Roid Rage
It’s been a heck of a day for Paul Christoforo, whose flippant email to a customer asking about his Avenger controller order has made Christoforo a walking memetic punchline. But maybe we should cut Christoforo a break for his overly aggressive emails: he could just be feeling the effects of roid rage.
Naughty Dog Calls Out Video Games For Weak Stories, Promises To Blow Brains With The Last Of Us
Sure, Naughty Dog’s Uncharted series is a benchmark for narrative, cinematic gaming.

William Gibson On Cyberpunk’s ‘Dirt In The Corners’
In an interview with author William Gibson, the creator of the notion of “cyberpunk” — a milieu that remains heavily influential to the world building of video games — comments on what inspired him to deviate from the then-too-polished world of mainstream science fiction.
