Video games as a medium: enchantment, craft, story, and whether play can expand the imagination the way literature does. Dr. Andrew Snyder (professor of philosophy and theology) sits down with Master Samwise and Josh Traylor to weigh the art of games without nostalgia or dismissal.

In this Mythic Mind conversation, they talk favorite titles, subcreation on the screen, beauty and aesthetics in worlds like Dark Souls, and how games might fit beside books as a serious avenue of creative attention.

Topics include games as art form, craft worth taking seriously, and the difference between wasted time and formative play.
