Virtuality

I played a video game tonight. While I have some expertise in, namely, the departments of Dr. Mario and Donkey Kong Country, thanks to years of childhood with brothers and then some, it's been a while since I've really bonded with a controller. Tonight I played a game called Trine (?), and at first I didn't expect to really get into it, but I laughed a lot. I also enjoyed slicing skeletons with my fire sword. (Why a fire sword would kill a creature that should, presumably, already be dead, is beyond me.)
