"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!"

621: Quoth the Raven (oncomputer.games)

experimental absurdist essay inspired by Armored Core VI containing 4 sub essays on:

  1. Gunpla/Giant robots
  2. drugs, alcohol, addiction
  3. political systems; anarcho-capitalism (a critique on libertarianism)
  4. succumbing to dark thoughts & the Berserk manga/anime

a major goal of this essay was to be FUN to read; jumping from topic to topic in a very hyperactive manner while exploring some heavy existential themes; i don't expect anyone to read this but if you do, please let me know what you think.

needless to say but this contains spoilers for every aspect of Armored Core VI
