Besides guitar hero that is about the only other video game I know how to play and the only reason I do understand that game is because I have and older and a younger brother who both played. I read the article and I still don't feel like I understand it. I actually feel like I am reading something that is written in a different language... weird! I think too many emerging technologies are getting too complex to understand. I feel like there should be a gaming degree or something to understand all the gibberish that is said (an awful attempt at explanations on the pamphlets they come with!) haha oh well , I guess we will have to stick to super mario brothers! hahaha thanks for responding Katew!

Its like when you read a book, when the author really develops the characters and the story the more you are able to get into it. Ya but the level stuff, bunch of bull.

I did not get the impression that video games were too complex, but rather, that breaking them down into components serves little purpose, for me at least, when I just look to have while playing a game. When I am playing, as I am sure resonates true with others as well, I don't worry about levels or anything of that sort. Honestly, how many people have you ever heard talking about those different aspects of the game were cool?? Usually, when you ask a friend they will saying something line, "The graphics are cool," or, "This is so much fun, I'm addicted." You know? Things like that. The whole thing about levels is ridiculous. I took a different perspective while reading this weeks article.
