My first published academic essay, and also my first essay on games, remains in demand, so wanted to make it available here. I wrote it when I was a graduate student. I’m eternally grateful to the editor of PAJ: A Journal of Performance and Art, Bonnie Marranca, for publishing my work on games first!
