The Pitch

Propulsive and immediately visually arresting, Sayonara Wild Hearts is a unique action rhythm hybrid that aims to be inviting to new players. Also, Queen Latifah is there.

I seriously played this game dozens of times as a kid. Only now am I realizing that Bart Simpson voices the boy-car.

Actually, is it a boy? I suppose cars have neither gender nor genitalia.

This week's episodes: The World, The Inverted Fool, The Inverted Magician, and Soul Of Isaac.

Another way to interpret dead aim is to say you aim like a dead person.

The tale of a game slowly figuring itself out.

A Traveler has arrived at a penal colony to observe a strange manner of execution: a device that takes twelve hours to kill the offender. Its biggest proponent, an Officer still loyal to an old regime, fanatically explains the devices's intricacies while preparing a Condemned Man for slaughter. Then, he reveals his plan to implicate the Traveler in its further operation.

No stranger to existential horror, this is Franz Kafka's most viscerally upsetting story. "In the Penal Colony" brings a twisted Saw-like sense of justice and clockwork machinery into contact with his normal domain of fussy clerks and bureaucrats who exist to reveal religious epiphanies but never experience them for themselves.

Why do we make bad things happen to ourselves? A question for the ages. And the topic for this week's dispatch.
