About
At the outset, we had hoped to establish Infinite Lives as the only authoritative videogame-centric catalogue of books. What an invaluable resource that might be, we marveled, to other gaming bookworms such as us and we ourselves! Perhaps, we speculated, we could include links to great zines and music, to documentary filmmakers and artists and indie game designers all.
Someday we’ll register yet another domain name and try that again. For now, however, we are interested in that funny little overlap between video games, the humanities, and popular culture.
Ms. Frank graduated from Northwestern with a fancy fiction writing degree in 2004 and began reviewing for Electronic Gaming Monthly in 2005. In 2006, she moved to San Francisco, where she was 1UP.com’s Community Manager and frequent Retronauts guest until Spring 2008. She has written exactly one feature each for both Wired’s GameLife and Kill Screen Magazine. In February, she guest-edited GameSetWatch. She now divides her time between Chicago and Texas.
