Thanks to those for having attended the livestream of the podcast in which Xator Nova and I discussed our thoughts on the video game Tonight We Riot, a “revolutionary crowd brawler about worker liberation” developed by Pixel Pushers Union 512 and published by Means Interactive.

Those who failed to attend the Twitch livestream yet wish to watch the podcast can do so by clicking on the following link.

While I believe the podcast went relatively successful, I cannot help but feel a bit dissatisfied with my comments on the game. Hopefully, I will be able to submit a more elaborate critique regarding Tonight We Riot on Red Spectre Writings within the next week or so. While I wish to keep video game reviews at a minimum on this website, I do believe that Tonight We Riot can be used as a good case example of media that reinforces or reflects the political eclecticism and tendency to understand political struggle in an oversimplified and non-historical fashion that are prevalent among the ‘political left’, especially in the Global North. When art fails to contribute to the elevation of our political consciousness, then it is up to proper analysis and critique to make an attempt.
