3 gold stars for Thomas! (You said "nerdy," so I'm just playing along.) But seriously... this is fan-freakin-tastic--an excellent example of what it is I hope you will begin to take away from this course. It's not necessarily about reading novels (although, in my opinion, that's certainly a nice bonus); it is about realizing that much of what you encounter out in everyday life can be read--and has often been designed--as a text... a text capable of manipulating you... just as you could be capable of manipulating it... if, indeed, you learn "to observe and to experience" simultaneously. Great post!
I just wanted to say that I thought the video was actually really interesting and cool even though I barely play video games (read: I only play mario kart wii or super mario brothers on occasion).
