Digging Through Fake News for the Truth in Orwell: Ignorance Is Strength
On close inspection, the premise behind 2016’s Orwell: Keeping an Eye On You is a bit daft. An episodic, choose-your-own-adventure visual novel/puzzle game of sorts developed by German indie team Osmotic Studios, the first season of Orwell introduced players to a powerful government surveillance system dubbed, well, Orwell.
The system scrapes together information from all corners of the game’s in-universe internet, from public social media accounts to news outlets and other third-party websites, and also allows us to snoop into private messages, emails, phone call transcriptions, and even the personal devices and files of persons of interest.
The original Orwell, now subtitled 'Keeping An Eye On You'.

AFL Clubs Recognise That Esports Are Sports – Why Hasn’t Everyone?
"This should not be an Olympic sport because it is not a sport," declared Shelly Horton on Channel 9's Weekend Today earlier this week. In the news ticker the title of the discussion said "Revenge of the Nerds?" in all caps. Peter Stefanovic put up a robust defense of competitive gaming, but it was moot. Shelly had a catchy way to dismiss the concept of esports as a sport.
"You need a little bit of huffy puffy," she said. "The only thing moving are thumbs, that is not a sport."
Should video games be an Olympic sport? Professional video gaming or "E-Sports" is already a $1.5 billion industry but it's predicted to grow by 50% in two years. What are your thoughts? #9Today pic.twitter.com/078r9I8DcM
