The story in Resident Evil 5 isn’t really the story. Instead, the story is a recursive set of playthroughs — at higher difficulty levels, on Game+ options or just to collect things you need. Your first playthrough will be your most challenging, but it’s the warm-up. You’re dropped immediately into a village siege with nothing but a handgun. This might frustrate you. It’s supposed to. You will remember this place. You will remember it well. Then you will return with a shotgun, an assault rifle or maybe a grenade launcher. You might bring all three. In time, this village siege will be a massacre. I’d argue this is the point of Resident Evil 5’s gameplay: the return to really give these zombie jerks the what for.

iPhone Self-Portraiture
Sometimes I like to take self-portraits with my iPhone. This is usually far more frustrating that it really ought to be. Holding the phone is awkward and it becomes a bit of a crapshoot even hitting the shutter button on the touch screen. All in all, the operation generally requires the finger dexterity of Rachmaninov.
A simple solution would be to turn the lock button on top of the phone temporarily into the shutter button. Is this already possible somehow? It seems so perfect.
Here’s what would have happened if John Cage had been a game designer.
Anyone who’s played PC RTS has had a tendency to look on console incarnations as though it’s sex with a couple of condoms on, but Ensemble’s got it down to one extra-thick Durex: awkward, but still fun.

First beat I did, was in seventh grade, on my computer. I got into doing beats for the video games I used to try to make. My game was very sexual. The main character was, like, a giant penis. It was like Mario Brothers, but the ghosts were, like, vaginas. Mind you, I’m 12 years old, and this is stuff 30-year-olds are programming. You’d have to draw in and program every little step-it literally took me all night to do a step, ‘cause the penis, y’know, had little feet and eyes.
