Videogame Playground Part 1: What is fun?
Jul 27th, 2010 | By Debbie "Weefz" TimminsHow do non-gamers play? It’s a question that has puzzled me for a while. In a country where the main form of recreation involves throwing large volumes of toxic liquid down your throat and declaring “I can’t remember what happened. Must have been a GREAT NIGHT!”, I can’t help wondering how else people play. Sure there are places like Go Ape, which are great fun (unless you’re me) and certainly a type of play, but they’re an awful lot of hassle to organise. Not to mention expensive. And scary as shit. People read books and watch films for fun, but they’re very passive hobbies. I’m not sure that counts as play.
