This is the catch-all category for stuff about games and game design. It easily makes up the vast majority of the site’s content. If you are looking for something specific, I highly recommend looking into the tags used on the site instead. They can narrow down the hunt immensely.
I promise this wil be the last post on this subject in a while…!
This made me wonder, Raph, how you define a single player game?
A game that is not played in opposition to, or in parallel with, or collaboratively with, someone else.
But I suspect that won’t be sufficient, because you will also need to understand my definitions of “game”, “played,” and “parallel.”

Here I am on a plane to Atlanta, and I just finished reading Bruce Sterling’s book Shaping Things. My MP3 player is at home, and I didn’t bring any movies, and I don’t feel like reading, and the in-flight movie is over. So instead, I thought I’d jot down some notes on what I just read.
Hello from lovely (I presume, since I haven’t seen any of it) Atlanta!
I did a Gamespot interview right after doing the Churchill Club thing. It’s now been posted, so I thought I would link to it before going to find some dinner.
I am going to be at Living Game Worlds 2006 for the next few days. I fly out tomorrow around 1pm-ish, which means that I will miss Valentine’s Day evening with my wife. Grrr.
On the other hand, it means that I will be having lunch with Will Wright on Thursday. Sorry, Will, but not the best trade, in a lot of ways.
The discussions look like they will be interesting. I have not, of course, yet prepared my five-minute panel presentation.
In other news, today I received a DVD of the talk I gave via videoconference for Wharton on “creativity.” At some point, we can try to transcribe it too.
The Multiverse Platform was demoed at DEMO. Most interesting line: “Multiverse is a media company.”
