This is a blog about games. I started it to chronicle my own development endeavors, as well as to try and encourage others to make games that interest them, and celebrate the work of my peers. It then immediately started to go downhill, and at this point I make horrible internet videos that will ultimately shame me when I run for office. It’s part masturbatory catharsis, part masturbatory analysis of the state of game design from high upon my Ivory Tower. So… I guess it’s all masturbatory, then.
If my insane rantings or horribly disfigured, snaggle toothed visage have harmed your psyche to the point where you wish to ask me to stop, you can contact me at cdfrankl (a with a circle around it) gmail.com.

Hey man I have been plucking your videos from the you tubes and placing them into a mixtape which Chronicles my decent into madness without your permission, The guilt will probably begin eating at me soon I hear so I figured I would drop a line and say hi and that I like your work and in no way meant to cast it in a negative light on it and, uh I don’t know yeah i guess that is it.

When I watch your video essays, it is like I am having a conversation about gaming with one of my best friends. Please keep up the good work and provide readers like me with an option to subscribe/donate to you. By the way, are the author of “Less is more! Less interaction, more accessible”?

You analyse games the way art critics analyse classic movies and it’s awesome. It gives me hope that video games may become a real form of artistic expression. Kudos to you good sir, Kudos

You should seriously consider doing a review of the Uncharted series or the Mass Effect series. I promise not to get too mad if you dislike them. Keep being awesome.

Hey, just wanted to inform you that your videos are by far my favorite on youtube. Just got through watching a marathon of all of them. Very high quality and professional work, but most importantly, your views and ideas are clearly and intelligently presented. Keep up the great work.

Been watching your videos since Shamus Young pointed me over here. I just wanted to say that I enjoy your work quite a bit. Even if I don’t always agree, I always find your material thought provoking.
BTW, I also think that you have been a great addition to the Spoiler Warning team. They really have a nice cross section of thoughtful/humorous people over there now.
So…keep it up!

Hi Chris,
I love your videos and I’ve always enjoyed looking at games in as much detail and analysis as possible, I’m really glad I found your work. I was wondering if you had any advice or techniques you use that help you with thinking about games to such depth, because I’ve started to write reviews for a site and when I watch your videos I realise there are things that I end up overlooking, even though I thought I tried my best.
For example, Do you have questions that you ask yourself everytime to help you notice more details? Diagrams/mind maps?
Thank you for any advice you could give and good luck in the future.

Hey Chris, really enjoy Errant Signal, and it was a pleasant surprise to see you join Spoiler Warning as well.
I wanted to get your opinion on a video game I really enjoy to play–The Legend of Zelda…..Majora’s Mask. I’m not sure if you ever played it, it was something of a cult game for the series. Anyways, did you think the game worked, failed, or something else? Anyways, I understand that I, a complete stranger on the internet, is asking a favor of someone (else) with a job, life, ect…so I respect your decision not to respond. Also, I’m not asking for some video or super long explanation of what you thought (although I will accept that! ha!), but just a fast email.
Anyways, yeti434@gmail.com if you have the time and desire to reply.
Oh, and if you never played it, I sincerely recommend you do.

I do not leave a ton of comments, but i did a few searching
and wound up here About Errant Signal. And I actually do have 2 questions for you if you
tend not to mind. Could it be only me or does it look as if like some of
the responses look like left by brain dead individuals?
:-P And, if you are writing on other online sites, I would
like to keep up with anything new you have to post.
Could you list of every one of your communal pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or
twitter feed?

Hey! I went ahead and added my Twitter/Blip/YouTube links, as well as a quick mention of the goofing I do over at Twenty Sided. I have a Facebook page, but I didn't post it because I rarely do anything - I haven't even announced the Bioshock episode there yet.
