This week, we play the riot simulator “They Came From a Communist Planet,” by David Cribb and Elijah Cauley. The game’s unorthodox theme prompts a discussion about gamer politics, brutalism, revolution, and why the social dynamics of riots make such interesting material for a videogame. Also, we do some alien voices.
