Have you ever noticed that nobody in a work of fiction who has the name Decker (or its attendant homonyms) is a good person? They're always vicious military men hunting the A-Team, or cackling mad scientists trying to destroy or enslave humanity (or both, for preference; Deckers tend to be on the ambitious side). [Or systematically murdering Replicants.

The release of Human; Fall Flat on the PS4 and Xbox 1 should have your attention. I’ve already played the PC version, and it’s well worth your time. It’s a little like I Am Bread mixed with Gang Beasts, in that it has deliberately awkward controls and emergent physical humor, both of which make the game vaguely, if not explicitly, inappropriate for kids.

Imagine you had super powers. Imagine you had the ability to warp ten feet in any direction, and the strength to kill anyone in three punches. Would you take upon yourself the awesome responsibility to protect the weak? Would you become a superhero? Heck no. You’d go rob a bank and steal some Mega Plutonium!

Every so often, a game comes along that’s a metaphor for something in the player’s life. The ones we usually notice are the ones that represent Big Ideas, like the Soulless Dead End Job, or The Tyrannical Society That Looks So Clean From The Outside.

Now Is Not the Time for Paradox

Posted by JR Ralls –
Imari, Japan. 2001. JR Ralls parts his rich, full hair. Luscious lock after luscious lock bends at his touch, each strand clinging ever more tightly to his brow than the last. JR doesn’t think about what it would be like to see a bald spot in the back grow; why would such a thought as that even cross his mind? Rather, JR has more important things to focus on. This nihon-go is kicking his ass!
