Hey everybody! It's time, once again, for a heaping helping of one of my favorite features, Outside The Bit! For those who don't remember, this is the time where a guest writer comes in and enlightens all of us with a fresh gaming perspective. After all, Heaven knows that a person can have too much BitNick... Even I stop listening to me after a while.
That's why we're saved today by Warza, an old friend of mine, and the man who gave us our last OTB, Gaming in the Cold (War). His last contribution was a great read, and if you haven't had the chance to brush up on it yet, I would heartily recommend it.
That said, the article Warza has for us today tackles some thought-provoking issues about technology and games, and it's a fantastic read.
I hope you all enjoy the article, and, as they say in Los Angeles, "Let the 8-Bit Show begin!"
