Magic circle? You are kidding, right? December 7, 2005 - by Gonzalo Frasca Games are virtual and they only represent an alternative to reality. Yeah, sure. Here's a very interesting article from the New York Times (Free registration required. Well, it's not really free, they keep your data) about how North Koreans are the bad guys du jour and how, interestingly, South Koreans do not like their neighbours to be demonized by (Western) videogames. I wonder why we need to go look for bad guys so far away when there are so many available right next door? Comment from jared adams on December 17, 2005

If there ain't a magic circle it ain't a game. Everything else is Life... no matter how bizarre. By the way, is the previous post supposed to be in English? POST A COMMENT
