Michael Brown, freelance writer and creator of Cultured magazine, sits down with us over Skype to reflect on his experiences working in print media as well as the changing face of physical and digital formats in video game journalism. The Mad Marquis De Maltease of Portland’s own Critical Hit Burlesque also stops by to talk about his upcoming game-themed burlesque show, Geeklesque: Powers Up!, held in conjunction with the upcoming Portland Retro Gaming Expo. And then there’s some talk of the xenophobic undercurrents in a seemingly unassuming Hello Kitty game.
