The Timewasting Junk That’s Changing Our Culture
I just came across The Cultural Gutter, “updated Thursday at noon with a new article about an artistic pursuit generally considered to be beneath consideration. The geeky triumvirate of science-fiction, comics and videogames forms the core… they write in the hopes of starting honest and intelligent discussions about these oft-enjoyed but rarely examined artforms.”
Past articles I found interesting include “Is It Possible To Have Too Much Fun?“, “Professor Zork“, “The Romance of Indie Games” and “Too Damn Talky“.

Note that one of the two people running that site is Jim Munroe, who wrote Punk Points for the 2000 IF Competition.

Munroe also filmed a very short movie on a text-adventure theme, “>interactive”
