About

I’m Karl Parakenings, a student and multidisciplinary artist from Windsor, Ontario. Like most people who write about video games, I’ve been playing them almost my whole life. As my graduation from university approached, I began looking for something to put my art/English degree towards.

I started this blog because I missed writing about games – I did reviews and a short-lived column for etoychest.org and Snackbar Games – but also because I saw the vibrant game criticism community and wanted to be a part of it. This site’s about my opinion, yes, but it’s also about my attempts at objective, academic constructive criticism about video games.

When I’m not writing critiques, I’m usually playing games, reading, drawing, or painting.
