Let’s get metaphysical about games.
When
I say that I am not a metaphysical person I mean that I do not believe in some
greater power in the sky that throws down sunbeams and lightning at us, or
occasionally pisses upon us, but I do rather enjoy believing in some immaterial
things – no, I do not believe that the spirits of the dead still inhabit this
world, even if they do I rather doubt someone will have more power dead than
they did alive since I don’t think ‘spontaneous telekinesis’ is something you
attain when you’re worm chowder or ashes or whatever – but I enjoy believing in
there being a metaphysical layer to things and experiences, that indeed there
is a subconscious lurking within every human and that our physical and social
manifestations are but our persona to deal with the world while we have shadows
that hide our own deepest, darkest and strangest desires from us, like a fetish
for women in suits, and I do enjoy believing that our enjoyment of media goes
beyond merely experiencing it.
