GDC 12: The art of Folk Game Design
As the hall slowly fills up, Doug Wilson of Die Gute Fabrik takes center stage. Wilson discusses the philosophy of folk game design, the art of imagining applications and fundamentals that are conceived through simple rules that apply some sort of deputized restriction that can be applied by the allowance that modern day tech that motion gaming has given us. The excitement in the crowd is especially thick, a very thick, almost tangible sensation that hangs on every word he speaks as we bear witness to the propositions and theories that folk game design can provide to help motion gaming shake the stigma of being a gimmicky fad.

Wow, we completely cut out news on this super-sized episode of Press Pause Radio, and we still went for three hours. THREE HOURS! How is it possible that we could ramble on and on for such a long time? It's because we all love arcades and are avid fans/collectors of arcade machines. On this episode the entire crew reflect on arcades of the past, and dream of a possible future where arcades may one day return. We will also discuss some of the newest games that have released, and nerd out for the release of Mass Effect 3. Feel free to join us on this ride on the pixelated superhighway, and don't forget to rate and review us on iTunes, Zune and now Stitcher Radio. Please, we need positive reinforcement.

On a typical winter evening, one that wasn’t very different from any other, a young man stands beside a beautiful woman. As he tenses up, his heart is overwhelmed in such a bitterly ironic way through such a sad turn of events. So beings the first act that sets the stage up for the controversial indie visual novel dating-simulator known as Katawa Shoujo.
Stemmed from a concept derived from an image board from the infamous 4Chan forum, Developer Four-Leaf studios brings a bishōjo tale catering to more than just your standard Japanese audience, but can this game appeal to western gamers beyond it’s questionable premise? Prepare to be surprised.

On this episode of Press Pause Radio we hold hands and venture through the great unknown, as we discuss the history and relevance of strategy guides and walkthroughs. Thankfully we brought along a few "guides" on the trip as well. Matt Clark, a freelance writer featured on MTV, 1up, GamePro, and many other publications joins us along with Zy, a top contributor on GameFAQs and writer of several walkthroughs as we contemplate on whether guides and walkthroughs are still needed in gaming today. We will also talk about Double Fine's success on Kickstarter and the upcoming release of the PS Vita. Thanks for listening to the show, and please make sure to check out the site for upcoming articles and reviews currently in the works.

Communities -- collective forces of people who work and support each other towards a common goal, and as a result, create a social and integral bond in through every day living.
The Video Gaming community is an anomaly in so many ways, even today. The community has served as a fundamental that trades off between being strength to stigma to every single individual who participates in it actively, myself included. Labels can range anywhere from juvenile or vindictive, to supportive and trustworthy, and little has been done to find a consistency -- until recently.
