They invite as much thought and analysis as they invite fun. That's why we're here: To analyze the symbolism and meaning of games. And to make some bad jokes along the way.

Freakin' magic, bro.
It's been about a full year since I've been on this site, but my pasty white posterior was on here for quite a while. In me golden years I was decent contributor to the cite. Nostalgia has made me crawl back to the best gaming community on the web. Time to catch up on lost time.
I used to make music and poetry with my still good friend LeviathenVIII, now I'm mostly a humble game designer and reviewer. Or rather...game analyzer. If you wanna know the meaning and symbolism of a game's story and the psychological depths of it's gameplay, I'm your nerd. If you wanna know whether or not a game is good, I'm biased as fox news on a bad day.
