Videogames matter. As a storytelling medium. As a means of learning. As a means of sharing experiences. As a competitive arena showcasing skill, strategy, and teamwork. As artistic expression. As an outlet for creativity. This is the bulk of what Drunken Marmoset is all about, while simultaneously entertaining and informing.
At Drunken Marmoset we cover games and game-related topics honestly, with respect to the unique aspects of the medium that make them special. Our game reviews focus on content, design, playability, and artistic and creative expression. We forego giving games a score in the same way one might abstain from giving a painting a score; we want to appreciate and discuss games based on their nuances without reducing their value to a number.
Drunken Marmoset is also about great drinks. I’ve always valued a tasty beverage to accompany a game session, so every game review will recommend a pairing for our readers, suggesting a drink whose character matches that of the game.
So welcome. Relax, open up your favorite bubbly, and take in the greatness.
Jeremiah French is Drunken Marmoset. He's a lot of things. He's an avid gamer, a musician, a writer, an explorer, and a creative. Above all, he wants to live a life that combines his many passions and talents into a colorful career that brings his and other folks' visions to life. His Masters' thesis explored the generation of new identities from fragments of many cultures in an eclectic approach to digital music composition in post-apocalyptic games. He hopes to one day get his PhD studying related complex topics, and Drunken Marmoset is his platform to present his interests and thoughts in a less academic, but no less informative, manner.
Jeremiah is always open to collaboration.
