: Ha, that's awesome to know. This will probably grow into a post of my own,
: but it will be less criticism and more memoir.
: A lot of my recent thoughts are coming from a book I'm reading, Extra Lives.
: I posted an interview with the author on Harper's Magazine's website a few
: days ago, and have been THRILLED with the book so far. I feel like it's
: given me permission to finally come out and say that, yeah, the writing of
: most video games absolutely BLOWS. However, it's still a very YOUNG medium
: that's still figuring out what the hell it even is, and what it's trying
: to do. I'm not done with the book, but I suspect his conclusion will be
: that video games matter because they give you the chance to be IN the
: narrative in such a full body way, that for all intents and purposes, you
: literally ARE the main character. That's something exciting that no other
: medium can currently, and may never, be able to do.
