EXP Podcast #113: Game Writing Roundup, 2010

There’s a huge amount of great video game writing out there.  Too much for your humble hosts to ever digest by themselves.  This week, we take advantage of 2010’s embarrassment of riches and discuss some of our favorite pieces of video game writing from last year.  As always feel free to join in and spread the word about your favorite game-related posts, essays, novellas, treatises, and tweets!

Pieces discussed:

- “Groping the Map”, by Justin Keverne, via Groping the Elephant
- “Video games: The Addiction,” by Tom Bissel, via The Guardian
