Attitude is no replacement for substance. If you don't have anything meaningful to add, then back off.

making a "meaningful" reply to your assertation that Video Games are the height of human artistic acheivement is about as worth my time and effort as making a "meaningful" argument to my five year old brother as to why he doesn't get a second cookie before dinner. at a certain point one just has to go 'no' and then laugh about the foolishness of the situation. xD

Slouching Towards Bethlehem is a Z-code game. I used frotz to play it.

Awesome. Frotz is the best.

What I did say is that books in general do a better job of exposing you to new and stimulating ideas because they aren't burdened by the need to create a amusing internaly consistent simulation.

Earlier today, I had an experience that proves this point rather thoroughly. So, I believe you're right.
