I was born in Caracas, Venezuela and grew up in the suburbs of Richmond, Virginia. At the age of 18 I escaped to New York City. I danced, clowned, performed, and scared my parents a lot. I traveled (and continue to do so) around the the world. At the age of 24 I became delusional and thought moving to Los Angeles was a good idea. Now I design and produce video games.
thatgamecompany designs and develops artistically crafted, broadly accessible video games that push the boundaries of interactive entertainment.
We call our games “core games.” Core games appeal not only to existing hardcore and casual gaming markets, but also to dormant gamers and even non-gamers. Core games reach these new markets because they are easier and less time consuming, yet possess emotionally rich and powerful interactive experiences.

"No one in or out of the field has ever been able to cite a game worthy of comparison with the great poets, filmmakers, novelists and poets." To which I could have added painters, composers, and so on, but my point is clear.
Wikipedia: "Art is the process of deliberately arranging elements in a way that appeals to the senses or emotions."
Key components of games are goals, rules, challenge, and interaction."

'Black Nature': Poems Of Promise And Survival : NPR
Camille T. Dungy, the editor of Black Nature: Four Centuries of African-American Nature Poetry, calls her book a first of its kind. The nearly 200 poems in the anthology reach back to the mid-1700s, but Dungy says people rarely think of bl ack poets as writing in a genre that brings to mind having the leisure -- and time -- to contemplate a field of flowers.
