What We Do
Video games, since their early iterations, have evolved in their relevance and complexity. They now engage complex narratives, specialized controls, and a depth of interactivity and playability far beyond their original conceptions. With these complexities, how we read, experience, and appropriate those experiences into our lives is creating a major cultural shift—how we perceive ourselves, our neighbors, and the world, and how we act on those perceptions, is changing.
We want to write considerately and accessibly about those changes. What you’ll find here are the voices of discerning writers and gamers, coming from a wide variety of disciplines, discussing the art of gaming and its culture, and the relevance and meaning of its influence outside of the industry. We also want to take the discussion beyond video games—we want to read culture through the lens of all interactive experiences, rather than only doing readings of video games through a cultural and critical lens.
Which is where, you, the readers enter. We are here, ultimately, to engage in a conversation with you. What we write isn’t some kind of decree or doctrine being handed down to you, but simply an illumination of another side of the dice. We hope that you will keep us from straying too far into theory, so that we, at No More Lives, remember that this is about people.
