The Campfire: A nightmare in Hyrule

My new post at Nightmare Mode!

Yes, video games were always scary when I was a kid. The age of polygons introduced freakish characters with pointed ends where things should be round. The Nintendo 64 made things worse by applying a fuzzy sheen to everything so things were even harder to distinguish.

Sometimes I wonder why and how I'm still interested in the medium considering how much video games scared me as a child. They were out to get me.

Stealth in Zelda

Hello friends!

I wrote a big ol' thing about stealth in The Legend of Zelda series at www.sneakybastards.net . Click the link to give it a read. It's quite extensive!

I had a lot of fun writing this! For all the voices out there writing about video games, we have very few websites that encourage a very specific framework to analyse games. You might be surprised at the conclusions I draw from the almost universally reviled stealth section in Zelda games.
