When I write poetry, song lyrics, or music, I am fully immersed.

The difference between video games and art is that I create the environment that I am immersed within.

Sure, like English or any other language, I’ve inherited the cultural context for my artistic endeavors, but that context is a basic requirement for any sort of immersive activity.

This is an important distinction that I agree with.

Glancing at your username I think I maybe know you through some mutual sf friends. The Page called they want a lot of their fernet back

[williamcotton]

Well, considering I’ve drank my fair share of fernet at The Page, I’d say you’re probably correct! Maybe we both know Kevin? Dan? Yani? (sp?) Big Ben?

Anyways, say hello from me to whomever we know in common!

All the above! I lived with Kevin. Hope things are good with you dude.
