i feel like video game collecting is probably one of the most rewarding things we've gotten into over the years. so many great games we would never have experienced otherwise, many of which have substantial literary merit as well as just being fun

speaking of, it'd be really neat to see more people talk about video games as a form of literature or film
you don't see people often doing in depth analyses of the story and presentation of video games like you do for books and movies

some universities have classes about the film styles of even specific directors (especially ones like kubrick who have very well-regarded styles); there should be one of those but for games from specific series or made by specific teams
imagine a deep dive into the games made by team symphonia or brownie brown or hell, even sonic team or the pokemon company

(if you're not familiar:
Team Symphonia made Tales of Symphonia, Tales of the Abyss, Tales of Vesperia, and collaborated with team destiny on Tales of Xillia, Tales of Xillia 2, and Tales of Zestiria
Brownie Brown made Magical Vacation, Sword of Mana, Magical Starsign, and Mother 3, among others
I assume you know what Sonic Team and The Pokemon Company made, it's kind of obvious)
