Videogame livestreaming platforms are strange places. If you frequent websites such as Twitch or Kick, you will know that they are equal parts autism, attention deficit disorder, and exhibitionism. They are toxic places full of profanity and performative video-game violence as automatic weapons are used to shred other players while hopping around in tactical gear on virtual battlefields.

My first experience with Halo was in my pre-teen years, in 2010 or 2011, when I received an Xbox360 for Christmas. I bought Halo: Reach in a Boxing Day sale on the advice of a friend. We played through the entire game in splitscreen. It remains one of my fondest experiences of those years. I was struck by its moral outlook, which was as alien to the Leftist media that I was used to as any of the enemies in the game are to humanity. (more…)

Gamergate can be summarized as the backlash against Social Justice Warrior (SJW) themes that were being pushed in video games during 2014-2015. The reader may explore the deep lore surrounding it if he is so inclined, for those days have passed into legend.

A second Gamergate has begun, although it is more limited in scope — for now. The focus is on Sweet Baby Inc., a company that offers “diversity consulting” for video-game scripts, and which has been blamed for a rising number of woke video games. (more…)

Kvltgames, the developer which released the first identitarian video game, Heimat Defender, has just released a sequel. The company is led by the former Austrian identitarian activist Roland Moritz. Like its predecessor, The Great Rebellion follows the story of a man fighting an oppressive corporation, which is now called Lucis Lux. This global corporation has reduced Europe to a homogeneous mass of mindless drones, with every aspect of their lives kept under surveillance — even their dreams. This much power is not enough for them, however, and they plan to soon “remove the human factor from the equation entirely.” (more…)

Metroid Prime: Echoes is a 2004 videogame originally released on the Nintendo GameCube, a direct sequel to Metroid Prime. While it achieved only moderate commercial success, it was highly critically acclaimed. The original Prime is widely regarded as the best GameCube game ever made, but while Prime 2: Echoes is outstanding, it didn’t stray far enough from the formula or bring enough new gameplay mechanics to supersede it. (Within Retro Studios, the developer, the game was thought of as “Metroid Prime 1.5”.) (more…)

In the past I’ve made the argument that a study of the toys that a people makes for its children give us an insight into that people’s cultural direction. Toys are a very interesting bit of material culture which are often overlooked as objects of study in anthropological and cultural research. (more…)

Why The Olympics are Basically a Klan Rally

Since the Olympics originated in ancient Greece, and since ancient Greece is considered the cradle of Western Civilization, and since Western Civilization is responsible for all disharmony and hatred and suffering among human groups throughout history, it’s a wonder that the white supremacists who run the Olympics haven’t yet rounded up all the Athletes of Color who gather together every four years and sent them all to camps to be tortured to death on live television.

Like many people in the Dissident Right, I have been following the GameStop short squeeze with feelings of excitement and enthusiasm. I haven’t felt this excited about current events since Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. While I have always enjoyed movies about the stock market, I never thought that a bunch of gamers would be able to beat the financial elite at their own game. (more…)
