A daily miasma of frivolity by two wanna-be cultural critics. Or: just, like, some good links, dude.

It is time for Cello Fortress, a very silly game by Joost van Dongen:

Cello Fortress is a unique combination of a game and a live music performance. A cellist defends a fortress by improvising on his cello. Melodies control the guns, dissonant notes activate the flamethrowers. Players from the audience use game controllers to steer their tanks and attack the fortress.

You can’t download or buy this game; you literally book the author for a performance at your art gallery or concert or whatever, and he brings the gear and plays the cello while attendees get to try to blow him up.

Video games are cool.
