Whatever happened to

RE: Whatever happened to
(July 5, 2011 at 8:13 am)Epimethean Wrote: Regarding the business of inside or outside the head in games, video strips a layer of imagination from the process, just as a film does to a book. Regarding the thinking being the only sensible part of the Cartesian conditional, some would suggest it is, but others would suggest otherwise, even down to the existential quality of the identity of the thinker.

It would not be easy to convince me that "I game, therefore I am imaginative" is as necessarily valid across the spectrum. The old RPGs left far more to the mind than the current ones-by sheer nature of what might be viewed as their shortcomings.

The only difference is one you put there. You fail immersion. There is no absence of imagination in book or move, game or other game that you do not put there. Immerse yourself properly and you will imagine regardless of the world you are presented with.

Existential quality? ROFLOL

Adding "imaginative" to a tripe statement doesn't make it any less tripe. You look at things with rose colored glasses as you flatly refuse to immerse yourself in an article of visual and audial presentation.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
