There is a lot of great stuff at the First/Second Person website, but I've actually been reading some of the "ripostes" they've added and man, there is some garbage thinking going on in game studies.

I will struggle to live up to your billing as a "source of enlightenment." The rest of Push 1 should be up soon, in both HTML and PDF format. The first Push 2 articles should follow shortly.
