		<description><![CDATA[Last week I published a piece on Ars Technica about the player behavior experiments being conducted at Riot Games. Long story short, Riot decided that just banning players for bad behavior wasn't good enough, so they have tried to include the entire League of Legends community in policing and improving toxic behavior, defined as basically all [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was very excited for Brink to be released in May of 2011. I love first person shooters and am almost always disappointed in the lack of team coherency when I play multiplayer FPS games without my friends. I prefer objective-based modes to deathmatch and when no one on the team is speaking on chat [...]]]></description>

I wouldn't know this if not for a tweet I saw from a game journalist linking to a blog post they wrote last year about suffering from depression. World Mental Health Day is about spreading awareness of mental illness. I ought to know when this day falls every year [...]]]></description>

They do themed weeks over there and the themes have been resonating with me, and I really like Stu and his crew so I participate whenever I can.

		<description><![CDATA[There are days when in order to maintain my sanity I have to remind myself of the division between video game journalism and the actual world of video games. Otherwise I can get so wrapped up in my desire to make it in this business that I completely lose perspective. I was given a healthy reminder [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this blog post titled "On New Games Journalism," Georgia State University graduate student Cameron Kunzelman takes issue with the notion that personal stories about a reviewer's experience with a video game can allow us to understand how the game works. A lot of what gets labeled "games criticism" nowadays really does boil down to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my wife's book Two Whole Cakes she talks about the difference between radical and liberal feminism. Liberal feminists, she says, want women to have their share of the pie. Radical feminists want an entirely new pie. And that's a good summation of liberal and radical responses to how culture war is conducted. I decidedly [...]]]></description>
