Growing up queer is an epic quest
Escape into the darkness of a Closed World
01.01.2012
In the latest issue, Matt Thomas explores the world of gay gamers, taking a look at the growing representation of gay characters in mainstream video game series. But are there any games that deal with queer issues as an integrated part of gameplay?
In Gambit game lab’s Closed World you play as a young person from a village that sits on the border outside of a forest that friends and family believe is dangerous. Deep within there are said to be demons, and when your beloved, tired of the oppressive attitudes of the villagers, disappears into the fog-steeped forest, you must confront your fears and follow.
Closed World is a simple, short little game in the style of The Legend of Zelda when it was still 2D. Your character confronts demons with the power of their logic, passion and ethics. Despite its simplicity, it contains a very elegant concept with a compact story. Gambit created the game in observation of the hardships and challenges faced by young queer people: “The result is a game that asks us to carefully consider what we think of as 'normal,' and what is needed to live in the world and be true to one's self.”

German3/12/2012 12:20:55 AMI personally know some ppoele surrounding that whole bmf thing and fab was a goodfriend of bleu davinci's who did some not so stand up shit,but fab and his squad aint a bunch of lames and pushovers. That whole soulja boy thing,i thought he really was gonna get folded up like a lawn chair..haha seriously. He was crazy reckless with his talk. Do your homework first on who you jumping out there on? 50 cent jabs fab 50 cent jabbed jeezy when that whole mazaradi fox situation was goin on. What happen to him? He was in the atl and he almost got folded. And his ppoele got took for that chain he use to rock. 50 throws his weight around good but it would be better if he could make some hot music. That nigga aint it anymore. Riding soulja? Where's your hot record? Doing damage control for Floyd Mayweather like hes his publicist. The art of War shit is real transparent. Make a good record 5th. Dont tape yourself walking through queens with bodyguards out of the cameras view on the sideline. All that cuz everyone was saying you couldnt go back to queens. And in the video you shaking every nigga hand like you scared. Nobody cares if you walk through there. You getting so far behind in the race you actually think you in the lead. Growth nigga!
