The web *IS* the platform!"</div> <div class="line">"PC gaming is dead. Next gen consoles rule supreme!"</div> <div class="line">"Disco is dead!"</div> <div class="line">"God is dead!"</div> <div class="line">"Paul is (a) dead(man)!"</div> <div class="line">"Table top role playing is dead!"</div> </div> <p>You get the idea. Clearly, we need to re-examine our conceptions around exactly what it means for something to be dead.</p> <p>"This blog is DEAD!"</p> <p>Ahem. Maybe not :)</p>articlesbehaviorblogsgamingmetapchttps://www.feoh.org/posts/dead-is-dead.htmlMon, 18 Aug 2008 09:47:00 GMT
