Over the last two years, that's exactly what I did. From the ill-fated Zeebo to the unfairly reviewed Outlive , I've talked plenty about the past, and while there are still more stories to tell, today we'll look to the future. The indie scene has been on a steady and healthy growth, and one of the reasons is Brazil's Independent Game Festival (BIG Fes). You can think of it as a GDQ focusing, but not limited to, the indie scene in Latin America. This week marks the sta...

What can the Antonine plague tell us about our response to Covid? These are questions that have been asked of late, but they're only recent iterations of a longstanding impulse: When a seeming paradigm shift occurs, contemporary commentators will look to ancient Rome for parallels, lessons, warnings. But what do we truly hope to reveal with these comparisons to Rome? And what do those hopes say about us? Mary Beard has spent a lifetime examining such questions.
