TDF 284 – Brian Upton defines Gaming

Brian Upton (@bbupton) works at Sony Playstation and I learn about the Origin of DnD and then we get INTO it about The Aesthetics of Play. Why we play games!! Oddly, he has a book just out from MIT press called the Aesthetic of Play. http://www.amazon.com/Aesthetic-Play-Brian-Upton/dp/0262028514/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8 We all know I have an hour comedy video out at www.allthingscomedy.com/jackiekashian right? Cuz I do. $5 download. It’s called “This Will Make An Excellent Horcrux” because comedy is all about soul ;) … Own it today and forever.
