One of the weirder things I’ve posted on Tumblr.
Yeah, uhm, let’s just say I still hate Michael Cera.
But now that I know more about Charlyne Yi/googled her, I like her more. She’s flip and reminds me of me (got that baby face!), and her humor is like my friends’. :) Her music is so freaking hipster, but I’m into that stuff half the time, so that’s okay.
In the march toward realism, we’ve lost immersion. We don’t want games to be plausible and lifelike; we want them to be unreal and fantastic. Abstraction gives us a reason to spend time there; to pursue the intangible path of creation and personalization, of imagination and ownership. Otherwise, we’re just watching the clock until we’ve exhausted our six to ten hours on someone else’s playground. Here’s hoping for more games that make us feel sad to complete them at the end of our long investment, and not guilty that we didn’t.
