Gaming as Period Pieces

                         


In various conversations, V, K, and myself decided that on the weekends each of us would post a short piece on a given broad topic, and or Most Glorious Master, Otaku K, put on her big girl clothing and decided that this weekend the topic would be "period pieces". Ok, it was a bit of a democratic selection process in which I was outvoted 2-to-abstain, but still. 

So I started thinking about period pieces to write about. I recently saw two seasons of Borgias (not the Showtime version) on Netflix, I've seen an episode or two of Tudors, I've seen a few films that deal with Victorian or Medieval era characters, but nothing that really caught my attention. Then, I thought: what if I write about videogames?

Why not indeed. Let's give it a try.
