Archive: June/July 2006: Super Mario Brothers and the Human Condition / Plan B Magazine

By some strange and terrible twist of fate, this happens to be the most recent issue of Plan B I own, despite the fact that I’ve been in practically every issue since. I guess I’ve been lost off the mailing list.

Actually, I moaned about this the last time I posted about Plan B here, so I am sorry. But I miss getting issues of it terribly. Perhaps I’ll just splurge and buy all the back issues I’m lacking, or something.

Anyway, this was a playful little article; I reference the Controller: Artists Crack the Game Code exhibition that I did a lot of interviews for Gamasutra on (see here) only this time I dare to have an opinion on it, and decide I don’t like any of it very much at all. There’s an absolutely brilliant graphic to go with this that is exactly what the title implies - a Super Mario Brothers take on Magritte’s The Human Condition. If you want to see it, of course, I’m afraid you’ll have to buy the back issue.
