Games I Am Not Playing
Not counting my PC, I haven’t owned a video game machine since my brothers and I shared a Super Nintendo back in the proverbial day. I must admit that the upcoming Star Wars game The Force Unleashed and BioWare’s forthcoming Mass Effect have me seriously reconsidering that, as soon as the change under my sofa accumulates a heck of a lot more. There’s fodder for a rumination on video games as a new narrative medium here, but other people have covered that ground and I don’t know if I have the mental juice for it at the moment.
Then again, there are always placed like the 1984 Arcade, a place from which Earl has just returned. Check out pictoral evidence of the pilgrimage over at Scribblings.
About Dave Thomer
Born and raised in Philadelphia. Studied philosophy at Fordham University in the Bronx, where I made many great friends and met my wonderful wife. We moved back to Philadelphia, where I studied philosophy some more and became a teacher. Online and off, I'm looking for ways that we can be better citizens and build stronger communities.
