From "A Maze of Murderscapes:"
"Nestled in my palms like a religious text is the videogame machine. If it were a console
and not a handheld, it would be the idol of the shrine that is an entertainment center.
Should someone blaspheme my idol or denomination of favorite games, I am conditioned
to swell with indignation. But nevertheless I play and play. I insert the monolithic gray
cart into the slot. I slide the switch up on the side of the handheld device. A veneer of light
and sound materializes before me, like the face of god in a machine.

This ritual is performed daily as I try to make sense of the way it makes me think and feel
about myself and the world around me. I can dismantle the software and the hardware,
analyze them, write about the technical aspects of them after great study, but that way of
summing them up doesn’t quite actualize how they affected me—what it all meant that first
time, in the moment. Our experiences are ineffable, even when we seem to be simply
pressing buttons to move light on a cave wall. As feelings atrophy with time’s passage, we
try to resuscitate or exorcise them by telling others so they might understand, so that they
may try out this thing we’re excited about. To talk about our experiences is to talk about
the ghosts of feelings, because sometimes it’s worth keeping the spirit alive.

Power on. "
