Good evening. (Do me a favor and pretend that was said like Count Dracula would. It just does it a comedic justice.)<\/p>\n

So, the idea for this post stemmed from a conversation Gurglor, Jeremias and I have been having on this thread<\/a>. We’ve all been discussing what aspects of games and\u00a0gameplay\u00a0that are really important, both in psychological contexts and, um, normal ones. I thought it would be interesting to bump up the conversation to it’s own post so that we could start a larger discussion on the subject.<\/p>\n

So, what layer of playing games is most important to you? What do you want to explore? Why do we play?<\/p>","time":"April 10th, 2012 5:47 pm","title":"What Makes A Game?"}
