New Press Lounge...
...same damn sofas.
I arrived a bit late to the Serious Games Summit, but still caught most of Raph Koster's presentation, A Theory of Fun for Games. I'll have a more complete write-up of this presentation later, for now I'll summarize his theory as "Fun is encountering a new pattern/skill/challenge to master."
Raph, with a sketch of how games could be art...or something...

Other sessions I attended today include "A Survey of COTS Used in Education", "Circling Back: How Serious Games is[sic] Helping the Commercial Industry", and "Case Study: VSTEP Emergency Simulations". I'll have those write-ups posted tomorrow or Wednesday.
