It has always been told that games are the perfect marriage between art and science. The best and most simple empirical proof of such statement is made by Helsinki’s great talent Petri Purho with this little game over here. I remember meeting him at this year’s GDC after he made a brilliant presentation on the [...]

Art + Science = Game

Communist Massive Games
August 29, 2007
I have a fetish for communist propaganda. It’s simply amazing how fucked up ideologies are. Juan José Sebreli once described his experience traveling to Mao’s China in the sixties as the witnessing of a collosal work of art. He was shown “the model factory”, “the model school”, and “the model hospital” [...]
King of Kong

Life is just a game -or at least there’s a 20% chance for that to be a scientific true fact. Cheers for all of you out there who are Players.
E3 stuff
July 16, 2007
So the E3 was finally held in Santa Monica this year, but who cares about this suit-driven event? Certainly not me. Anyhow, two very interesting news woke me up this morning regarding the former “it” event of the game industry:
WiiFit. A new interface to plug into our Wiis so we can feel the joy of [...]
The Silent Revolution: Internet
February 27, 2007
Anthropologist Michael Wesch made a great video with effective educational purposes to those who aren’t familiar with the concept of the web 2.0. This video is a very inspiring piece that gives a grasp of what is the real potential of the Internet and how it is changing our lives.
It’s quite [...]
Real Life RPG
January 10, 2007
Nicolas, a good colleague of mine recently showed me these very fun videos of College Saga that are written, directed and produced by Mark Leung. It’s very interesting to see the contrast of old school 8 bit gaming and real life.
I still remember how the simple scripts and interactions that [...]
Fatality!
December 27, 2006
It seems that I’m doing many posts this end of year, probably because I’m in a very good mood. One of the games that I enjoyed the most in my years of innocence was Mortal Kombat. A complete revolution at its time due to the realistic graphics and the extreme violence it portrayed. This fine [...]
A Socialist Game?
December 21, 2006
Two years ago, I’ve made this teaser video for a game project that I had back then. The figure of Che Guevara fascinates me due to his firm beliefs and how he acted according to what he felt was right. He was probably the christ of communism, that atheist religion inspired by the words of [...]
Gaming Evolution
November 24, 2006
It’s interesting to see how the graphics of games have evolved during the last 30 years but gameplay has almost been the same during all that time. The fact that “Star Wars” is considered sort of a genre in this video is also quite revealing of how immature the game [...]
Playing at the Flash Mob
November 19, 2006
Last Saturday, the first Pillow Fight Flash Mob was held at the planetarium in Buenos Aires. And it was a genuine generational moment for the online hordes of bloggers from this internetized 21st century.
Each time you interact at an online forum, blog or website you’re abstracted from the fact that probably [...]
