Henry Jenkins once wrote:

I will admit that discussing the art of video games conjures up comic images: tuxedo-clad and jewel-bedecked patrons admiring the latest Streetfighter, middle-aged academics pontificating on the impact of Cubism on Tetris, bleeps and zaps disrupting our silent contemplation at the Guggenheim.

Well, I'll have to admit being 35 y. o. and employed as assistant professor in multimedia, I just wrote an article on the impact of Cubism on Tetris.

Summer vacation is over. I'm looking forward to a new semester.
If anyone should be interested in The Renaissance Myth, then here is the link:

Never will I ever here again about the Dark Ages or the Renaissance as a a time when people's minds and talents were first being freed from the shackles of medieval restraint. Ha ha!

Read and learn.
