Affects of play mechanics
Hey Hannah, great post, thanks for getting this week started. What is so interesting to me about how you construct the Eldrazi is how abjection is so perfectly communicated within the game when playing, for example, one of the titans. There's just th ... -
Hi Nick, thanks for your
Hi Nick, thanks for your post. This video series is interesting to me precisely because it models the various behaviors of players, but also how it does so within the context of Magic's color wheel. My favorite episode is with mixed martial artist Jo ... -
This was so fun to read
This was so fun to read Daren, I really enjoyed it. Within the context of the game, as you know, tokens are rarely a point of emphasis, even if they are a vital tactic in a given game. But your reading beautifully renders just that point within the contex ... -
Hey Cameron, great post,
Hey Cameron, great post, thanks for sharing your thoughts on this play. I think this is a truly unique moment as you describe it. The game rarely affords an opportunity for style at the level of gesture, and even when it does, if acted on it largely comes ... -

The content of exploitation
Hi Gordon, great post, thanks for starting things off this week. I'm curious if we could mobilize your rendering of a mode here to address films that don't traffic in sex or violence? It seems to me that the opportunity to engage sensations and ... -
Love in lieu of community
Zach, thanks for your intriguing post. I'm wondering if neoliberalism, something I take on in a different way with my own post this week, allows for love at the expense of community? That is, if love exists within neoliberalism, has it not taken on a ... -
Absence of Necessity
Fascinating post Karly-Lynne, I really enjoyed it. Most interesting here, I would argue, is the compulsive desire to "image" love through the very means (i.e., sex) so many, as you suggest, argue negates it. The idea that representing a style of ...
