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
given to the Angus N. Macdonald Fund and MIT Writing and Humanistic Studies
and Comparative Media Studies.


All events are free and open to the public.
