EMBRACING CORPORATE ENTROPY VIA GEOMETRY WARS
So, what was the deal with that game and how did it help bring me mindfulness in a time of great torpor? Well, it turns out that the same mechanics that can calibrate and adjust controllers for an Xbox can also be used to control the bat's one's personal belfry. The fact was, the unyielding onslaught of enemies and obstacles in Geometry Wars provided a straight up metaphor for a standard day at the office. The game allowed me to break down, make sense of, and almost find comfort in all the insanity. No matter what you do, no matter how adept you are at keeping the wolves at bay, none of it will prevent you from the slow, gradual decline into disorder.
