Where is this link leading you?
Into the darkness --
you are connected to someone across the aether,
through the wires.
Disconnected.
The videogame:
a jewel in the rough.
When playing the videogame is rewarding,
it itself plays the role of reward.
Its nature is joy.
The act of access must be play.
There has never been anything less true to the nature of games
than the cold storefront, infinitely replicated.
It is some secret whispered to your friend.
It is a happy face drawn in a dark corner.
It is tucked away from the world.
It is discovering the unknown.
