			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway's_Game_of_Life" target="_blank">Conway&#8217;s Game of Life</a> has been used to describe many different phenomena: Evolution of consciousness and free will, spontaneous design or creation in absence of a designer; but never has it occured to anybody that racism could also evolve from some innocent little cells whose evolution is merely based on fixed rules &#8211; you only have to give the cells different colours, so they are not all the same anymore.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-134 alignleft" title="conway's game of bigotry" src="http://www.56kmodern.com/baggageclaim/greenshot_2009-11-05_11-11-49.png" alt="conway's game of bigotry" width="256" height="206" />Dacke, creator of <a href="http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=1895.0" target="_blank">Conway&#8217;s Game of Bigotry</a>, has built up a coherent story and theory framework around this brilliant idea, thrown it into a blender with Pong and Siege game mechanics and created a two player hot seat game in which you try to come out on top against another human being controlling cell evolution and firing cell patterns towards their health bars.</p>
<blockquote><p>It is regrettable that it has come to this, but it has to be done!<br />
In the name of everything that is [INSERT_YOUR_COLOUR]!</p></blockquote>
<p>The gameplay is not very easy to figure out, but once you have learned your six action buttons by heart and started to get a grasp of Conway&#8217;s life mechanics, incredibly complex battles to the apoptosis will ensue.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Allow me to introduce today&#8217;s pick with a quote by the famous Kazimir Malevich, Russian constructivist: &#8220;Only dull and impotent artists screen their work with sincerity. In art there is need for truth, not sincerity.&#8221; Tomssuli, author of <a href="http://www.create-games.com/download.asp?id=7722" target="_blank">Climate Change &#8211; FOR THE WIN!</a>, has taken these words to heart, and created a constructivist multiplayer action game that is as drastic in its truth as it is economical of sincerity.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-77 alignleft" title="climatechangeFTW" src="http://www.56kmodern.com/baggageclaim/greenshot_2009-10-29_10-16-57.png" alt="climatechangeFTW" width="256" height="223" /></p>
<p>The story outline: An association of environmental activists, calling themselves THOC (&#8221;The Heat Of Change&#8221;), invites the leaders of the G7 countries (with Russia left out!) to a conference where they should discuss the global warming issue. Once those seven gentlemen get there, THOC pump sleeping gas into the conference room, kidnap all seven of them and put them on a steadily melting ice floe in the arctic, equipped with nothing but some bags of salt that came with their last meal, to battle it out &#8211; because they are all held responsible for this very melting ice floe that could now be the end of them! The one to survive this battle to the freeze will then be in charge of the fight against global warming, assuming he has learned his lesson.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Definitely pioneering work in the field of constructivist eco-propaganda games, and at the same time a hot-seat battle for up to seven leaders of the world!</p>
