Writer and video-game Elvira extraordinaire Lana Polansky (@mechapoetic) joins us this week to discuss all sorts of stuff. Seriously, we get around on this one. In addition to her writing, Lana hosts The Freak Museum, an exploratory twitch channel that puts weird and/or rare games on display for the world. Marvel's rise to mediocrity, neo-puritanism, embarrassing Joyce Carol Oates tweets, the mechanics of modern leftism: a dense and enjoyable discussion!

The Trump era is over. It was simultaneously horrifying and very, very stupid. Lana Polansky & I talk about our favorite Trump moments, what this all means, whether Canada's right wing populist moment has passed, the coming decade of neoliberal technocracy and more. patreon.com/robrousseau patreon.com/TheFreakMuseum

This week on Talking to Ghosts we talk to Intelligame founder and games journalist Josh Boykin about creating a space to post and support the content you want to see, how platform holders win by making money on creators supporting other creators, and the risk of never shutting down from work mode during the pandemic. Check out Josh's podcast Intelligame Radio. We highly recommend the most recent episodes "Labor (ft. Lana Polansky)" and "Black Lives Matter (ft. Zoe Schneider)" “At Home” episodes are being recorded and released during the COVID-19 pandemic. Talking to Ghosts is produced and recorded by Michael Kurt and Wes Mueller.

So many of the issues of our current moment stem from unequal power dynamics, people using their power to exploit others. In the game space, discussions about power dynamics come in all shapes and sizes. For this week's episode, we air a conversation from early May with Lana Polansky, video game critic, labor reporter, and host of the indie-focused showcase The Freak Museum. Her eye for unique games and her blending of criticism with historical grounding makes this conversation one worth listening to. ----------- Here's how you can help support Intelligame: 1.

This week, Roqayah and Kumars are joined by Lana Polansky, a Montreal-based video game critic, designer and journalist whose writing has appeared on Vice, Paste, and Kill Screen, among other outlets. After charting her personal journey to the intersection of gaming and left-wing politics, Lana explains the experimental impulses behind the category of indie games, with the help of a series of essays for the digital arts and culture outlet Rhizome detailing how the concept of empathy has become a buzzword in the industry.  Lana then gives listeners a lay of the land with respect to labor conditions for game workers and their efforts to organize, including her retrospective on Gamergate and the function of far-right cultural politics as worker suppression in a completely neoliberal industry, the new campaign by the Communications Workers of America in collaboration with Game Workers Unite to help unionize workers at game companies, and her own work with Game Curious Montreal, the “radical book club for games” bringing gaming enthusiasts together with local social justice organizers.  You can follow Lana on Twitter @mechapoetic, tune in to her weekly Twitch streams at twitch.tv/mechapoetic, keep up with her independent work on her personal website sufficientlyhuman.com and her other other independent work at patreon.com/Lana Polansky.  If you want to support the show and receive access to tons of bonus content, subscribe on our Patreon for as little as $5 a month.

Welcome back! it's been awhile! On this episode I talk with Lana Polansky - a games writer, artist, and (as of recently) political organizer based in Montreal.

In this episode, we flipped over the Monopoly board to make room to play the dark comedy Nuclear War Card Game from 1965. Does having a background in nuclear policy help win a card game about nuclear war? Will the horrors and intensity of nuclear weapons translate to a card game? Can three loving couples survive three hours of pretending to nuke each other? Tim and his elite team of board game competitors answer these questions and more. Before we decided this game was too dark and switched to playing Candy Land, we recommend checking out the sources below about the unique and fun history of the Nuclear War Card Game (you can also access these links on our SoundCloud page). -Photos of the game and the cards at “Nuclear War,” Flying Buffalo, http://www.flyingbuffalo.com/nucwar.htm -“Nuclear War Card Game,” BoardGameGeek.com, https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/713/nuclear-war -Dennis McLellan, “Nuclear War Game Bombs Its Way to Success: Fantasy Card Competition Breeds Some Fallout From the Controversial Topic,” Los Angeles Times, April 18, 1986, http://articles.latimes.com/1986-04-18/news/vw-442_1_nuclear-war-card-game - Lana Polansky, “Nuclear War: A Game of Chance,” Paste, October 14, 2014, https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2014/10/nuclear-war-a-game-of-chance.html - Matt Keeley, “ ‘Nuclear War’ Turns 50: A Fun Game About Human Extinction,” UnicornBooty, October 26, 2015, https://unicornbooty.com/nuclear-war-turns-50-a-fun-game-about-human-extinction/ -“MPs Seek Ban on Nuclear War Board Game Described as ‘Disgusting and Offensive,’” Ottawa Citizen, March 3, 1984, https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2194&dat=19840303&id=H68yAAAAIBAJ&sjid=Te8FAAAAIBAJ&pg=1472,1208483 -“Nuclear War,” Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_War_(card_game) Thanks to Douglas Malewicki for inventing the game and for Flying Buffalo for publishing it!

A dark night in the bright city. Jackson dashes down an alleyway, a shadow looming behind them. They clutches the attache case close to they chest as they squeeze past a dumpster and into a space that would generously be described as snug for even the overfed cats that dine on the garbage nearby. Em’s close behind, reaching into the tiny space up to their elbow to reach after Jackson, unable to go any further. Growling, they climb up the dumpster, leaping onto the lowest rungs of the fire escape as they use the window to get into the hallway of the building Jackson is squeezing past. As they leap down the steps two at a time, they don’t see the slender cane extend between the bars of the railing until it’s too late, and their’s sprawled out on the cold tile floor of the foyer of the building.Destiny emerges from behind the stairs, nudging Em’s arm aside with her cane as she steps outside, just to see Jackson emerge from the alleyway and stop to look behind him for pursuit. It’s a distraction they can ill afford. They don’t even feel the needle slip under their skin, they just feels himself sag against the wall as Destiny steps up beside them and removes the case from their now flaccid hands. “Thanks,” she says. “It’s game over for you, though.”She turns to walk away, Jackson gasping trying to yell after her, their knees buckling as they falls back into the alleyway, and both of them disappear back into the bustle of the city.You can get our podcast on iTunes, on Stitcher, or you can download it directly by clicking here.This Month’s Game Club: FramedOctober’s Game Club: Castlevania: Symphony of the NightGames Discussed: The 36th Chamber of Shaolin, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, Tomorrow Never Dies, Morning Mario Returns!, Civilization V, Three Beers Deep, our conversation with Lana Polansky, Framed, Hideo Kojima’s tweet, Angry Birds, Boom Blox, Doctor Who, Grim FandangoMusic This EpisodeBlown Away by Kevin MacLeodBaba Yetu by Christopher TinFramed Soundtrack by Adrian MooreThe Fragrance of Dark Coffee by Noriyuki IwadareKapp’n’s Song by Shohei Tsuchiya

The Mappers are joined in this January episode by one of the few games writers they’re genuinely intimidated by, and they go on a heady adventure into lands untold. How does anyone understand the landscape of a culture whose history keeps disappearing? What does it mean to want to work in a field and criticize works when every aspect of that production is increasingly devalued in both money and regard? What does it mean to explore the murky issues of consent in games? And how long can you exist on a ghostly train ride before it becomes a lens through which you view your own predispositions? All these questions and more are yours inside when Em and Jackson try their best to keep up with Lana Polansky in this heady, intense, appropriately metaphorical train wreck of an episode.

This final Abnormal Mapping of 2014 begins with a bit of introspection, as the Mappers go over the year that is quickly fading behind them, and look forward to the year to come. Then, joined by oft-guesting Destiny, they explore the endless realms of Minecraft, doing their best to stave off the expected and inevitable slide into existential terror as they look to the horizon and ponder just how many blocks one has to dig up to be alive. Join us on this, the Eve of the Year of the PS3, as we head towards the future, hearts heavy but heads held high.You can get our podcast on iTunes, on Stitcher, or you can download it directly by clicking here.This Month’s Game Club: MinecraftNext Month’s Game Club: offɭineMusic in This EpisodeBlown Away by Kevin McLeodChristmas in Nightopia by Tomoko SasakiStal by C418Toy Day by Manaka Kataoka & Atsuko AsahiNext month’s guest, Lana Polansky, can be found at Sufficiently Human, or support her Patreon!

We don the masks of the harvest reaper to stalk the dank halls of a far off land of clockwork intrigue and steam-powered assassination, perched on the balustrades of our own mental palaces, poised to strike in the blink of an eye. What are we waiting for? Only the final strike of the witching hour, when we will descend and offer up that vengeful mantra of horror that was granted to us by the great Machiavellian evil: Thnks fr th vidya gms. It’s enough to make a person’s blood run cold, robbing even the most comforting evening of matching three or grinding levels of hope and rendering it an empty shell of its former self. This is where fun goes to die. This is where For Glory is only a long-forgotten menu option, and not an ideal to strive for.

Welcome to the first podcast in the brand new Critical Distance Confab! We were so impressed with Mattie Brice's moderation of our Black History Month podcast that we've asked her back to helm a new, monthly series. Each month on the 15th, Mattie will be tackling exciting, weighty topics flanked by special guests from across the critical landscape - and perhaps a few surprises as well! This month, Mattie sits down with fellow critic-developers Lana Polansky and Cameron Kunzelman, to discuss how they got involved in game design, why game development interests them, and how becoming a developer has changed how they write about games.
