"on computer games" is a gaming blog that publishes analyses, musings, and essays on the highly subjective experience of computer games; presented in a style reminiscent of "very creative writing" and covering a range of topics such as philosophy, nostalgia, and tanuki lore.

We also publish a free online magazine. Links below.


Glad you asked!

On top of discussing any content @ oncomputer.games; the purpose of this community is to discuss anything about COMPUTER GAMES, with a slant toward the philosophical, conceptual, and creative; we do not care about your "score" for the new ____ game; we care about your unique experience while playing the new ___ game. We are also partial to sh!t posting if it is games-related.


Keep it copacetic and stay "on topic," the topic being COMPUTER GAMES.

If you link to other publications, like: "check out this interesting review for ___ game at Kotaku!" we reserve the right to delete your post and ban you; posts should be fairly original content, as much as human creation can be "original."


Issue#1 - The Dragon Takes Flight



*disclaimer: the term "computer games" in this context means literally any video game; "computer games" is what grandma says when she tells you to "stop playing those damn computer games and go outside!"

As a child, I loved my Nintendo DS. I was a child of a single mom and she had to take me with her on all her errands. All those activities--applying for Food Stamps, going grocery shopping, waiting at the doctors--seemed to drag on for multiple infinities. It felt like loitering.

So, thank God and Jesus that I had my Nintendo DS to entertain me during those trying times. MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE LOITER JOINT THO:

Church. Granny took me to church every Sunday. I was a smarter-than-average-try-hard so the preacher let me sit in the back and work the AV equipment. This was especially awesome because I didn't have to sit with my grandmother and sing (although I loved her with all my heart, RIP granny)--I could play Super Mario 64 DS in between queues of "How Great Thou Art" and "Our God Is An Awesome God").

So, lemmy, what are YOUR favorite Loiter Joints TM?
