Neat essay about the meaning of video games.

This is a really neat video essay about how not knowing all the rules of a game or mechanics can change the the story. I think OHOL works well with this feature of game in that as you learn more the story of the game changes. The first few times I played it was a hard game where I couldn't find enough to eat. Now I think about having a lasting impact on a town and keeping the other people in my family from dyeing.

Anyway here it is the video essay it's from Big Joel

Interesting essay.  smile
I also find it fascinating how the game changes from week to week, and how some of the changes happen because we're not playing the game as intended. I enjoy seeing the game evolve.

Agree. I was playing with a new player recently and all of this stuff I'd forgotten came back to me.
