Love me or hate me, you’re all still talking about me. My name is Gita Jackson and I’ll be your guest editor for the weekend. That’s right, I’m here, I’m queer, and I’m in the middle of an existential crisis (wait, shit, I don’t think that’s how it goes).
As far as what to expect, not really sure. I’m the assistant editor at Paste Comedy and Paste Games, so I’m halfway out of videogameland at the moment. I love to see how games connect to the culture at large—I wanna hear about how your little sister feels about the Britney Spears iPhone game, I wanna know how your mom plays Pokemon Go. Really what I love is writing. I love words, I love using them, I love taking a deep dive into a pool of minutia and coming back with an intense emotional experience and then sharing it with everyone. It’s a lot of like diving with my own guts—let me tell your future. In any case, strap in for what is going to be a truly magical weekend. It’s my world, you just live in it.
