June 22, 2012
“You’re in a shady, sleazy bar. Perfectly sleazy. Good sleazy. You feel just the right amount of sleazy. Hoping that all the best games journalists do their best work drunk, you get that glass of white wine straight up, and head to the shadiest corner of the bar, looking for trouble.

Interview with Anna Anthropy on Gender Identity and Gaming
June 20, 2012
Gender tropes lurk behind the Xbox controller.. and Anna Anthropy is determined to bend them. The author of Rise of the Videogame Zinesters hopes to develop a gaming world that’s more gender-friendly for everyone.
“Being trans doesn’t make the fact that I’m a woman any less real, and obviously it’s often safer for trans women on the internet not to advertise the fact that they’re trans. Today, I’m totally out about being trans because I want other trans people to find me and feel safer in this games space.”

The results are, as the saying goes, mixed—but not in a bad way. The Graphic Canonis a glorious mash-up of not only words and images, but also high and low culture, the popular and the paradigmatic.”
