I'm currently taking a course about narrative and it was time to write a game analysis paper. While I was writing the paper up, I looked at my collection and a question came up in my head. Why do I have so many friggin' RPGs (role-playing games) in my collection? That answer would have to be that.....I'm a sucker for good stories. Of course, not all my RPGs have exceptional stories but they are still good stories nonetheless. On top of that, being in that narrative class has made a pretty lasting impression on how I look at stories and especially how I look at video games.
Oh yeah, in my video game collection, RPGs consist of about 80% of it. =P
