Lindsey, Stephanie and Marlee jump into the shoes of an immigration officer on the border of fictional hostile nation Arstotzka. It's incredibly stressful work and presents a whole bunch of moral greys to think about! We follow with a light discussion on what art is, how art isn't always happy and can confront and challenge our beliefs, (while poking some gentle fun at sportsball watchers.) The future of Cutscenes and Cupcakes is revealed (with just 64 more seasons to go)! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Glory to Arstotzka! This week we get to discuss a "game" that definitely doesn't have "anything" to "say" about "life." It's just a fun romp through a fantastical setting. Keep your politics out of my video games, am I right? Music by nightcorey. https://soundcloud.com/nightcorey Email us your thoughts on the ongoing list at oldgamersalmanac (at) gmail(dot)com.

Papers, Please, o jogo indie mais comentado por muito tempo chega ao Matei o Chefe no episódio mais produzido deste podcast! Mário Tapa-Buraco, Shin Koheo e Vivard são os responsáveis pelo controle de imigração de Arstotzka e contam tudo pra você!

Do you enjoy looking at the tiny little details and then rubber stamping the form DENIED! when one little thing is out of place? James and I delve into the wonderfully simple, yet ultimately complicated world of bureaucracy, in this week's review of Papers, Please. This game came out of left field, with the simple idea of what if you were a immigration officer in a dystopian country? Seems simple right, you are very wrong. This game starts slow but slowly lets the tension build through each stage until you can feel the anxiety in your bones.  But in a fun way. We also talk some gaming news, most notably  the upcoming Xbox Game Pass list for this August and then Nintendo going after the little guy, who's just trying to illegally sell their old games.   Check it all out in this week's episode.

Il lavoro cerca sempre di più di assomigliare ad un gioco: con la gamification si cerca di rendere il lavoro meno faticoso. C'è invece qualcuno che cerca di rendere il gioco quanto più simile possibile ad un lavoro, con risultati sorprendentemente ironici e profondamente filosofici perché ci costringono a prendere coscienza del modo in cui trascorriamo effettivamente il tempo mentre lavoriamo (tantissimo tempo 'sprecato' a litigare con l'interfaccia del computer che ci chiede di fare cose che noi preferiremmo non fare ma non farle significa non poter proseguire, tipo gli aggiornalmenti di programma). È un argomento che merita ben più dei miei tre minuti canonici, per questo vi invito a visitare i link the riporto in basso per esplorare il lavoro di Pippin Barr e per conoscere altri giochi affascinanti (come il mio secondo gioco preferito in assoluto, Paper Please).LINKVi consiglio caldamente di provare a fare questo gioco che ripropone la frustrazione di non riuscirire a concludere niente - It Is As If You Are Doing Work (è come se stessi lavorando)https://pippinbarr.github.io/itisasifyouweredoingwork/Qui l'intervista a Pippin Barr sulla fantantastica newsletter We Make Money Not Art di Regine Debatty (di questa newsletter vi ho parlato qualche giorno fa, andate a riascoltarvi la puntata numero 188)https://we-make-money-not-art.com/interview-with-pippin-barr-maker-of-witty-and-infuriating-video-games/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+wmmna+%28we+make+money+not+art%29Il mio secondo gioco preferito in assoluto, Paper Please (Glory to Arstotzka!)https://papersplea.se/Qui potete giocare a Paper Please gratis onlinehttps://paperspleasegame.com/TRASCRIZIONE TESTO (English translation below)Immaginatevi un videogioco che vi ripropone le schermate maledettissime di Windows quando vi si aprono un sacco di pop-up, vi arrivano email, notifiche eccetera. È quello che ha fatto Pippin Barr, che più che un videogamer è un filosofo, secondo me. E lui è partito dalla considerazione di come la tecnologia che noi usiamo per lavorare, sempre di più cerchi di assomigliare ai videogiochi per renderci il lavoro più piacevole, e lui fa esattamente il contrario, prende i giochi e li rende sempre più simili al lavoro, lavoro anche, così come spesso capita nella vita, che noi facciamo senza neanche renderci conto perché lo stiamo facendo, oppure quando il computer ci chiede di fare delle cose che noi non sappiamo perché ci chiede di farle, però dobbiamo farle se vogliamo procedere con il nostro lavoro, altrimenti non ci fa andare avanti, penso a tutti gli aggiornamenti e le cose di questo tipo. Ecco, questo suo gioco "As if you were doing work", è come se stessi lavorando, è esattamente così. Vi si apre una schermata, tipica del computer anni 2000 della Windows, e il computer poi vi chiede di fare delle cose, però venite continuamente interrotti non potrete mai fare quello che vi chiede, per cui trascorrere tutto il tempo del gioco a litigare con l'interfaccia dei computer. Pippin Barr fa questi giochi molto divertenti, molto ironici. Un altro che ha fatto è quello, tutta una serie dedicata ai miti dell'antica Grecia, c'è il gioco che si chiama Sisifo e consiste in questo signore, Sisifo, che spinge un masso gigantesco sopra la montagna e quando arriva in cima alla montagna, bum! Rotola giù e quindi può cominciare di nuovo all'infinito. Un altro gioco molto interessante è quello che si rifà all'happening fatto da Marina Abramovic al MOMA, famosissimo: l'artista Marina Abramovic rimase non mi ricordo quanti giorni al MOMA, otto ore nove ore tutti i giorni, seduta a un tavolino la gente faceva la fila e poi poteva guardarla intensamente negli occhi. Ecco, il gioco di Pippin Barr lo ripropone e si fa la fila per entrare al MOMA e non ci si può distrarre perché ogni tanto il gioco ci dice di fare delle cose, un passetto avanti, e se non lo facciamo perdiamo il posto in fila e dobbiamo ricominciare da capo. C'è una bellissima intervista a Pippin Barr nell'immancabile newsletter We Make Money Not Art di Regine Debatty, metterò il link nelle note al programma, dove tra l'altro Pippin Barr parla di uno dei miei videogiochi preferiti in assoluto, diciamo il secondo dopo The Stanley Parable, e parla cioè di Paper Please che è un gioco dove si finge di essere un ufficiale di frontiera in un paese dell'Est e di mettere dei timbri alle persone che chiedono di entrare o di uscire o di passare la frontiera. Anche di questo metterò il link nelle note del programma.ENGLISH TRANSLATIONImagine a video game that shows you the bloody Windows screens when a lot of pop-ups open, emails, notifications, etc. arrive. That's what Pippin Barr, whom I consider a philosopher rather than a game creator, did. He started by considering how the technology we use to work, increasingly tries to resemble video games to make our work more enjoyable, and he does exactly the opposite, takes the games and makes them look more like work, the same tasks that, as often happens in life, we perform without even realizing why we are doing them, like when the computer asks us to do things that we do not know why it is asking us, but we must perform them if we want to proceed with the our job, otherwise it won't allow us to proceed, I think about all the system updates and things like that. Well, in his game "It is as if you were doing work", it is exactly like that. A screen opens, in the style of the Windows 2000 computer, and the computer then asks you to do things, but you get continually interrupted and you will never be able to complete the required tasks, so you spend all the time in the game arguing with the computer interface. Pippin Barr makes these games very funny, very ironic. Another one he created is the one, there is an entire series dedicated to the myths of ancient Greece, there is this game which is called Sisyphus, and consists of this gentleman, Sisyphus, pushing a gigantic boulder over the mountain and when he gets to the top of the mountain, boom! it rolls down and then he can start infinitely again. Another very interesting game is the one that refers to the happening done by Marina Abramovic at MOMA, very famous: the artist Marina Abramovic stayed I don't remember how many days at MOMA, 8, 9 hours every day, sitting at a table while people stood in line to be allowed to look deeply into her eyes. Well, Pippin Barr's game proposes this again but it's about queueing to enter MOMA and we cannot get distracted because every now and then the game asks us to do things, like take a step forward, and if we do not obey we lose our place in line and we have to start again. There is a beautiful interview with Pippin Barr in the unmissable “We Make Money Not Art” newsletter by Regine Debatty, I will put the link in the program's notes, and among other things, Pippin Barr talks about one of my favorite video games ever, let's say my second favourite after The Stanley Parable, he speaks about Paper Please, which is a game where you pretend to be a border officer in an Eastern European country and you put stamps on people's papers when they ask to enter or exit or to cross the border. Of this too I will put the link in the notes of the program.Here you can listen to the podcast in Italian while reading the translation in English MAGIC!https://youtu.be/mc-yCMHKPgU

Papers, Please is aptly summed up by its marketing tagline: "A dystopian document thriller". Everything that can go wrong will go wrong in this 'simulation' of being a border crossing agent in the clearly-Soviet-in-all-but-name Arstotzka.Morality and shades of gray are front in center in this puzzle game, but transparency of choice is not; what you do may make be ethical but its outcomes vary wildly in the face of a political system so obfuscated as to be completely labyrinthine. Papers, Please does more to simulate the atmosphere of Soviet politik than even a good read of Solzhenitsyn, but that isn't just why it's popular: it's also a darn strong puzzle game.Relevant links!Document types in the gameCaustic Soda, a podcast about gruesome or weird stuff by lovable CanadiansRelevant games!The Westport Incident by Double Zero One Zero (the newspaper version of Papers, PleaseThe Tomorrow Children by Q-GamesCalm Down, Stalin by Cartboard Games (no, not Cardboard Computer)This War of Mine by 11 bit studiosEkranoplans, by Russia Itself, GiantBomb'd hereThe entire Metro series by 4AThe theme this week is "Duck Wings Going Down in Smoke and Flames" by Duck Boy, a free album download from chipmusic.org off of his new album Unknown Command.

In this episode, the boys travel to the great state of Arstotzka to take work placements as Border Inspectors in the indie PC/Mac/Linux(!) title Papers, Please. They've managed to smuggle in a bottle of Westmalle from Belgium to sip on whilst comparing their experiences.   As usual the fortnight's gaming news and the other games they guys have been playing are discussed.   Twitter:   @goadsteruk Youtube: youtube.com/goadsteruk
