They both conflate gaming with learning, and their arguments that they inform and reinforce each other are compelling. I’m interested in combining all that with one of the earliest forms of learning: stories. It’s not that people aren’t already doing that with great, story-driven games, but that if we understand what we’re doing we can drive toward it rather than stumble into it.

Guess we’ll have to wait and see.
