The Warbler’s Nest ~ Interactive Fiction and Games

Jason McIntosh 

 

Jason McIntosh is an independent games critic, designer, and scholar. During
the previous decade, he produced “The Gameshelf”, a public-access TV series
examining both tabletop and digital games, and “Jmac’s Arcade,” a set of
video monologues on growing up within the arcade culture of the 1980s. More
recently, he’s taught a game-studies lab at Northeastern University,
published the XYZZY Award-winning work of interactive fiction “The Warbler's
Nest”, crafted the iPad edition of the tabletop game “Sixis” by Chris
Cieslik, and worked as a game-design consultant for other clients. He
continues to write game-criticism essays on The Gameshelf’s blog, and
produces the occasional episode of the podcast series “Play of the Light”,
which he co-hosts with Matthew Weise. His website collecting all this stuff
may be found at jmac.org.


Purple Blurb is a series of presentations for digital writing, with thanks
