“…Virtual spaces, in entertainment and on the internet, have taken an ever-growing burden of providing us with some sense of meaning and purpose amongst the purposelessness. But they often just as easily fall into their own cookie-cutter molds too. The processes behind the creation of larger scale media becomes streamlined much in the same way that design of most large-scale buildings are as well. It’s rare that we ever get to have a truly authentic experience of something genuinely unexpected, in life or in fantasy. And even if we did ever get to have this kind of singular authentic experience, how would we know that we’d be ready for would come out of it?

Thief: The Dark Project, re-released later as Thief Gold, is a computer game that doesn’t provide escape in its virtual spaces so much as a sense of curiosity mixed with eerie discomfort. Thief is mostly a fun action videogame. But sometimes it gets a little too close for comfort to hitting on something deeper. Some of its fantasy spaces feel a little too familiar in ways they probably shouldn’t. Constantine’s infamous mansion from the mission “The Sword” is one of those spaces…”

have pieced together some of the writing abt vgames from my notepad drafts less because they’re good than because i change my mind on this stuff all the time and should really keep a record, most of what i wrote or thought last year becoming wholly unintelligible to me as i forget all the weird minor piques or enthusiasms that sustained them.. here are forgotten crankish halfthoughts 2016 edition.
