What a beautiful song, merci beaucoup.

Hmm Hmm.

Thank you for the article, it was really interesting  to read.  I think too that we should look way more into others medias to improve our way to view and understand videogames. I mean yeah i think that theater has so much in common with video games.  Following a path, incarnating a character. In some way the public is just watching a let's play.  I really liked this moment:

" I do think that video games, just like theatre, has the capacity of breaking the reality of the actor/player, the difference being that theatre is always confined by the "rules" of this world, and games are not. This is why games need to strive to sub-verse rules and systems, instead of just creating others that push us further out of our already alienated lives."

I really liked it because according to me games are about rules. This is what makes them so interesting, to play. You're incarnating somebody, following the rules he has to follow. Like "hey be stealthy cause now you're a ninja". Or "hey go to the right, and jumping is you're only interaction with the world. GL" The problem is that too often we're in the body of the same white guy with a weapon that aims at everything he's interacting with..

So, I don't think video-games should aim at like, putting no rules and making you experience "freedom" but to make you experience new rules. I think this is another way to escape our alienated lives. Maybe the fact that video games put rules that can let you win is a thing that go in this way too.  Cause in our alienated lives the rules doesn't let you win like in games. 

Anyway this is just some of my thought, thant you again for the article it was cool to read.

(sorry for my bad english)
