    Complaining about the next-to-last episode of “Dollhouse.”

    An attempt to inject some reason back into the question of “meaning” in videogames, plus an example of a hugely-popular game that’s already done it.

    You too can support a game in development.

  • Do you love it? I got it at Rossum.

    The most recent episode of “Dollhouse” (called “Getting Closer”) just proves that this would’ve been a terrific miniseries. Lots of spoilers, so read at your own risk.

  • Best of 2009: Movies

    Real bloggers make year-end lists because they get paid per post. I’m doing it because I like to talk.
