@avantgame@G33kGrrly well im doing a course in game design. This is an interesting study. Games for me is escapism, going to new realms -

@avantgame@G33kGrrly yeah i see what you mean. Ive always been focused on the idealisms behind a game, creating new virtual worlds

@avantgame@G33kGrrly the ability to prove gaming value lies in scoial sciences. Until they get more empirically valid, it's tough.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
