I even worked in the video game industry for ~6 years helping to make video games.<br /><br />So when I first heard about this book, I immediately added it to my TBR list. Sadly, I haven't gotten around to it yet.<br /><br />Thanks for the review.

But I don't remember playing anything which just means that video games have been in my subconscious since before I could remember. lolChellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04506296443676360367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7533410326820379706.post-47601880353314003862010-08-03T10:20:50.645-05:002010-08-03T10:20:50.645-05:00Aw memories!

The last time I played video games for hour...+JMJ+<br /><br />The last time I played video games for hours at a stretch was the summer of 1996, when I had nothing to do on some days but play Sonic the Hedgehog and Power Rangers. (LOL!) But I never graduated to the more complex video games that involve real storytelling. Still, I know I'd be very interested to read about how this new medium affects the traditional narrative form. The quotes you share here are great! Thanks for the review, Chelle. =)Enbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.com
