@avantgame Interesting discussion going on right now on reddit Philosophy of Gaming http://www.reddit.com/r/philosophy/comments/13pjtz/the_philosophy_of_gaming/ … :)
@avantgame @zdch @martinhauck_ca but it says something about current game culture that such an idea is so prevalent. how do we change that?

@rmehlinger@avantgame@zdch I think any game enriches be it board, video, or school. A change in thought process is always refreshing -
@martinhauck_ca@rmehlinger@avantgame@zdch exactly; game experiences enrich as much as a novel, a painting or a sculpture

@avantgame@zdch I think it says more about Reddit culture that games are viewed as escapist by antisocial misogynists who live there. -
@DCDave@avantgame That's an excellent point.

@avantgame@zdch@martinhauck_ca Historically, wouldn’t games be rooted in competition and gambling? -
@cSchons@avantgame@martinhauck_ca Unclear to me--which came first, the bets, or the betting mechanism?
