The twoheaded Pushmepullyou from Dr. Dolittle seems like a good analogy for the relationship between game and player, and the give and take between the game's rules and the player's intentions.
You can say that you have fully mastered a game, but equally you can say that the game has mastered/trained you- because even when you are breaking the rules and subverting the intended experience, you are still playing around the game's rules. You are the pavlovian dog salivating when the scientist rings his bell . |
