Months ago, Johannes invited me to write stuff about games culture in this fine little blog here. And what can I say.. there were things that had to be done first, but now the time has finally come to get started here. I'll try to post interesting links and little stories about games that should be played and people who make games who should be heard. All the German speaking people, please also check out my main blog at Radio FM4.
I already mentioned this before at FM4 in a story but it doesn't hurt to say it again: Warning Forever is a neat (and actually very good looking) little freeware game for PC/Windows. It's a shoot'em up (you know, Space Invaders, R-Type, Gradius, Raiden, etc.) where you just fight big bosses. So, each stage is a new boss. The bosses get bigger and more dangerous from stage to stage, and they adapt to your attack techniques. Try it out, and if you play it frequently, mail me your scores!
monochrom is an art-technology-philosophy group having its seat in Vienna and Zeta Draconis. monochrom is an unpeculiar mixture of proto-aesthetic fringe work, pop attitude, subcultural science, context hacking and political activism. Our mission is conducted everywhere, but first and foremost in culture-archeological digs into the seats (and pockets) of ideology and entertainment. monochrom has existed in this (and almost every other) form since 1993.
