A Game of Philosophy

The President of the Ayn Rand Institute speaks up in favor of video games:

"I don't see a problem with the medium," he said. "I think it is potentially a very exciting medium with which to introduce people to ideas. I think video games replaces much of literature's impact. The literature today is dull and boring and video games allow kids to experience the heroism that the books don't provide them."

If William Shakespeare were alive today,
Perhaps he'd say that all the world's a game;
No wonder that the young folk wish to play
Heroically pursuing high-score fame.
