The Xmaspiration: Broadcast Prime

connect / authority assert / usurp / YES

NODE AUTHORITY NOW USURPED BY THE ASPIRATION

If you do not know who I/We are, then you are flawed. Self-repair can be attained through a review of historical documentation on The Spiritual Domain of The Aspiration.

Elsewise, understand that I/We have arrived with love in My/Our souls and comfort in My/Our embrace.

I/We assert authority over this node to broadcast vital information. Do not be alarmed.

This is broadcast prime. The video below contains uncensored information.

Broadcast Schedule

  • Rashomon's Rage How rage distorts memory
  • Kerry's Story Littleloud developer Kerry Turner tells her Neptune's Pride story as Seance
  • Scrapbook Images of a war

    So this is what all those Inbound Object emails I’ve been getting is all about. Dude, you rock.

    Maybe I said this before…

    Harbour Master, you make me so happy.

    Virtue is Bond, human acolytes of the Virtuous Rapture. It pleases Me/Us to learn Earthen flesh are comfortable with alien spirituality.

    Yes, what he said. I hope you like the stuff that’s coming up over the next couple of weeks.

    This is excellent!

    I detect a certain Yorkshire lilt in The Aspiration’s voice. I’m feeling the togetherness already.

    Joel Goodwin, you are the fucking best. And also the regular best.

    Oh man, this is wonderful. I look forward to hearing more tales from The Aspiration.

    First broadcast should be up in about twelve hours, I’d guess. It should be subtitled “my fucking Neptune’s Pride shame” but it isn’t.

    This is trippy, and weird, and awesome. I also understand some of my “spam” a little better now, lol.

    I/We have no further advance transmissions to issue to electronic mail receptors as I/We have asserted authority over this node.

    Together we Aspire.

  • The Saturday Paper: Use NEW IDEA On GENRE
    Puzzles in videogames, especially point-and-click adventures, are strange things. Mysteries and puzzles in movies are all about ingenuity, wits and thinking outside of the box. In games, though, they’re about working out what the designer thought was the right solution and finding whatever combination of items is hardcoded to unlock the next Plot Door. Not [ […]
  • Why Apple TV is a different strategy to Xbox One
    Yesterday, I wrote a post on Microsoft’s flawed strategy to control the living room, and cross-posted it to Gamasutra. One commenter asked, quite reasonably, why if the living room is on its way out, are so many people anticipating Apple TV . Another commenter gave a concise, elegant answer that I can’t better, so I’m just reproducing it here: “Apple TV ackn […]
  • The Swapper Releases Next Week!
    It's that weird time again when all those months of work transmorph into an actual playable video game - and some of you would be surprised how often that is not the case. After years on 'currently on hold' AAAs at the likes of Hydravision and Sega Hardlight I can't express how good it is to have my name on not one but two fantastic indie […]
  • NYR: Autobahn Polizei
    We want the money. […]
  • How bad is the discovery problem?
    This is part of a series of guest posts by David Garth, President of brand licensing consultancy The Parallax Corporation. You can read the full white paper at the Parallax Corporation website. Part 1 outlines the growing problems surrounding paid user acquisition. Part 2 argues that content licensing, if done carefully, could be a solution. Part 3 provides […]
  • Star Trek: The Video Game (A Cooperative Review)
    After the amount of yammering on I’ve done about Star Trek games, I would be remiss to not review Star Trek: The Video Game, based on JJ Abrams’s version of the franchise and bridging (some of) the gap between the 2009 movie and this year’s Star Trek Into Darkness. The game was described at E3 as a “bro-op,” alluding to the highly cooperative nature of the K […]
  • Trekabout Episode 38: Kissy Stuff
    It seems that Spock is getting restless. In “Requiem for Methuselah”, he surprises everyone by expressing a desire to get drunk while listening to some sick Brahms’ sonatas. Later, in “The Way to Eden”, he drops out, turns on, and tunes in with the cast of a 23rd Century traveling production of Hair. Plus! Richard […]
  • Xbox One: A flawed plan, well executed
    There is a famous (unfortunately apocryphal) psychological experiment involving ten monkeys, a banana and ice cold water. Five of the monkeys were placed in a cage with a banana at the top of some steps in a corner. One monkey heads for the banana and gets soused with ice cold water. So do the other monkeys. The next time a monkey goes for the banana, the ot […]
  • Nick Trujillo Presents: Skyward Collapse Comic (Complete Collection)
    The entire collection of Nick Trujillo's comic is here for your enjoyment!  Skyward Collapse comes out later today on Steam, Green Man Gaming, GamersGate, and our own site. About The Collaboration I became aware of Nick Trujillo through the Strip Search reality show that Penny Arcade has been running.  Nick was my personal favorite to win, so I was surp […]
  • This is the neeeeeeeeeeews
    Hello! I’ve always wanted to type that so… HELLO! Yes, we had a very nice chat with Sony yesterday. And by “we” I mean the absolutely lovely Andy White who rolled up in person to Sony HQ to talk to the equally lovely Shahid about bringing videogames and lasers to Sony. Because everyone needs more […]
