discussion on Bogost paper

Please contribute to the discussion HERE after reading Bogost's paper (which is linked to in the original post).

Hebert, you have an interesting background from getting both analytic and continental philosophy and being in a performance studies field now. So I'd be interested to see what you think not just about the brouhaha, but also about Bogost's paper.

interesting thread

Urizenus Sklar (aka Peter Ludlow) has started an interesting thread at the Philosophy of Video Games blog HERE.

The movies made by players of the game EVE are really stunning. I need to dig out my Aarseth to try to reacquaint myself with the ludologist's original gripe about narrative. Right now we're reading Miguel Sicart's The Ethics of Computer Games; maybe the next book will have bearing on the ludology/narratology brouhaha.
