Just to keep myself from neglecting this project to the point of giving up. Okay! First of all, via Kotaku I’ve found another link for my sad little sidebar. The new addition is Only a Game, a theory-minded blog from developer Chris Bateman. His prose is a bit flighty at times but I like how he draws on some broader philosophical and psychological ideas to talk about gameplay. It also looks like there are some good discussions in the comments.
As for my actually saying anything of substance anytime soon, I’ve been doing some background reading in the hopes of expanding on this “gameplay as architecture” idea. Hopefully I’ll have something on that within the week. Also, the household recently acquired a Wii! I’ll see how long it takes me to come up with something pretentious to say about it. But for now, fun!
