the relationships between these people? How are they feeling on that day, and in that period of their lives? What is the experience of being these
people like? These are just a few of the questions which a family portrait may never touch. During a photo, I am not to look at my family members
with resentment. I am not to stand apart from them, playing on a handheld game system, to give an indication of how I actually see the relationship
between us. And I am not to look at my watch, to indicate that I have better things to be doing than standing around with a goofy smile. Heck, they
don't even want irony. To take a family portrait, you first give plenty of notice so that everyone can prepare. Everyone stops their activities and
the normal patterns of their lives. Without those patterns and behaviors, the people in the picture are not people at all during those seconds, but
merely mindless mannequins mimicking stereotypes of The Happy Family. The state of any family in any given moment in time is an entire world to be
explored, and we have barely been skimming the surface. The reality tends to be messier, uglier, and -I think- more interesting.*/

step back and consider that what she is pushing for so obstinately is what most people would call a silly time-waster. Is it plausible that a woman
who by all social standards should know better would get so wound up over World of Warcraft? My answer is that she can definitely exist in the real
world, because I exist and this is how I think. That I am a 24-year-old man living in his parents' house, rather than a married woman, does not
matter - the details may be slightly different, but the experience I am expressing here is real. Whenever I reached a node where I was unsure of
what the player should be allowed to do next, I sat down at our dining room table, pictured the husband and daughter sitting across from me, said
whatever my last line was, and asked myself what I was thinking. The reason I emphasize my identification with the title character is to make a
point: If I were not her, this game would be a meaningless gimmick. But because I am her, there is an emotional truth. This is the promise of the
character adventure game - to let you inhabit the head of someone else, someone very different from yourself. If I had not put an emotional truth
into the lines and choices and situations, they would all mean nothing. There would be some novelty in the oddness, and charm in the drawings, but
no real point. The point is that she is a person of the real world, in spirit if not in fact. That gives her life value. */

/* My favorite game series is The Legend of Zelda, and it happens to have consistently brilliant music. In each game, the composers take hints of
the themes from previous games, twist them around in new ways, and end up with something that serves completely different purposes. I imitate this
attitude by playing my own versions of all the Zelda themes, where the original is recognizable but I've made it my own. I have dozens of little
bits of piano music which I consider to be "Zelda music", even though sometimes they're original themes which just happen to be the sort of music
that could fit into a Zelda game. I play these pieces regularly, so that I should never forget them. Often my mother hears me playing something and
compliments me on it, whereupon I tell her proudly that it's a particularly clever variation on something from The Legend of Zelda and she tries to
pretend she's trying to hide her disapproval. (It mainly just comes off as disapproval.) At one point I played something pretty and she asked me:
"Is that yours, or is it Zelda?". I told her it was mine. "Good for you!", she exclaimed. She doesn't get it. Aspiring to be in a Zelda game is the
highest ambition my music can have. When I'm playing Zelda music, I'm connected to something bigger than myself. I'm adding, in my own small way, to
a legacy and an ongoing story. But someone who's not a fan of anything can't understand that. */

/* My last two years of high school were endured in the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance. To my geek mind, all the conversations my classmates
had seemed like they were concerned with absolute trivialities: studying, partying, dating, living.... Where were the conversations about
videogames, or movies, or science fiction, or psychology, or anything that remotely interested me? Exacerbating matters, my Hebrew sucked. (It's
worse now.) I felt like if I somehow managed to start a conversation with someone in my class, and didn't stumble all over my words, I could make a
connection of some sort. So I listened to their talking, waiting for an opportunity that never came, and then at every possible opportunity I'd go
to the class piano and play one of my compositions (or improvise something). No one ever reacted at all to my music, as I did not have the greatest
technique and technique was all the musicians were interested in. (And the dancers only liked hip-hop. Groan.) I kept seeing these massive groups of
friends and peers sitting together, and I'd wonder what I'd have to do to sit there with them. I would have done it, too, whatever it was. Halfway
through the final year, we went on a three-day class trip. I could have gotten out of it, but I saw it as a great opportunity. Finally I'd see what
these people were like outside of a school environment. I'd have the time and position to get closer to them, maybe make some friends. By the second
day of the trip, I was literally banging my head against walls. They were so goddamned boring! It wouldn't matter if I were hanging around with them
for a decade, I'd never find a real opportunity to socialize with any of them because they simply weren't the sort of people that I could enjoy
socializing with. On that day, I decided that it's better to be lonely on your own than it is to be lonely in a crowd, and I resolved to stick with
people I was "compatible" with. It is downright unhealthy to hold out hope for connections with incompatible people. */

/* My passion for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has bewildered many. I try to get other people to play it with the kind of determination with
which some people pursue sex. With everyone I've ever been friends with since I first played the 1998 masterpiece, I either got them to play the
game, tried and failed to get them to play the game, or fantasized about getting them to play the game. Ocarina of Time was a transformative
experience in my life, because while I'd played other games involving exploration, I'd never yet visited a world that gave me such a multitude of
things worth doing. And I played it at a point in my life when the real world didn't seem to contain anything of the sort. In Zelda I could choose
where to go and what to do -whether to fight monsters or wander around aimlessly or tackle some tricky puzzle or just waste time on minigames- and
this gave my time in the game a hint of realness. Meanwhile everything outside of the game seemed monotonous and sad. So I decided that reality is
just one world of many that a person might choose to live in. I want to share that revelation with others. I eventually acquired a Nintendo 64
entirely for this game -partially to be able to play the ocarina properly, but mostly so that some day I'd be able to share the game as it was
originally envisioned. With who? Haven't figured that part out yet. The people I show it to don't have nearly as intense a reaction as I did. How
could they? But still I try, and I'm happy when I get to witness even a tiny bit of the game being enjoyed and know that I had something to do with
that experience happening. */

/* There is, of course, a difference between socializing in person and socializing in an online setting. But one is not inherently better than the
other. Sometimes the people you really want to talk to are on the other side of the world, and you'll only meet them if you're willing to take a web
site as seriously as a physical place. There was a year or two in high school where internet forums kept me sane. My first forum was the official
forum for the Legend of Zelda series, and I started hanging around there because I was interested in how the Legend of Zelda games fit together
chronologically. Believe it or not there were many heated debates on the question, and many days in school while I was supposed to be doing
something or other I'd instead be wandering around considering my counter-argument to whatever the last person said. Did I make friends on that
forum? No, I did not. A few rivals, perhaps. But it was as real a social setting as any I've been in, for better or for worse. The internet allowed
me to connect with people who had the same bizarre interests that I did, and the mode of communication fit the group. In the real world there were
no social opportunities that appealed to me. So when I hear people spout inanities like "The internet will never be a substitute for real people!",
I take comfort in the knowledge that they're very wrong. Day by day more people come to the understanding that online relationships serve their
needs better than whatever random situation they've been thrown into in the real world. This is why you'll see so many people using Facebook on
their smartphones when they're expected to be talking to someone in the same room. The real world just isn't doing it for them. */

//Three days ago (I am writing this on 23/2/2012.), I went on a date with a delightfully quirky woman. I was interested in her because her
//personality seemed to be very much like mine, and I told her so in a long and precisely-crafted e-mail. My reasoning for the letter was as
//follows: If she was like me, she might want to know where she stood without ambiguity, because that is how I would always prefer people treat me.
//And if she was not like me, then my reason for being interested in her was in error and I would want to know that as soon as possible. I was
//careful to word the letter such that if I was mistaken about her, she could say "no" comfortably and that would be that. Instead, she said we were
//on the same page. So we went on a date, and all my suspicions about her personality were proven true. Fundamentally she is very much like me.
//However, she aspires to fit into the "real world", while I see it as my life's mission to make gamistic alternatives to it. We had some wonderful
//discussion and argumentation, and then she said goodbye with little enthusiasm for seeing me again. So I asked her whether we could meet up again,
//and she responded that that might be nice. At present I am convinced that that was merely a tactful answer, and that she did not want to ever see
//me again. But that is not what she said. Her tact left the possibility of a relationship on the table, maybe because I was so aggressively
//interested in her that she did not want to hurt my feelings. Since then I am ashamed to say I have written her ten e-mails, some of them quite
//long. She has barely responded, and when she did respond she did not tell me that I was bothering her, again maybe to not hurt my feelings. So I
//figured she was very busy, or wanted to take the time to respond properly, or any of a million other perfectly reasonable explanations for not
//writing the four words "I don't like you." that would tell me where I stand. Finally a friend of mine told me that I needed to stop writing, and
//that I was so eager to pursue a relationship that I was ignoring the tone of what this woman had been saying. Understand, this intervention came
//only after two days of my obsessing about uncertainty as to whether or not she was at all interested in me. And when I realized my friend was
//right after those two days of build-up, it pained me to the point of feeling physically ill. If the woman I'd gone out with had told me in clear
//terms that she was not interested in me, and that she was not interested in working to bridge the subtle differences in our worldviews, I would
//have been disappointed but I would have moved on with my life and I would quickly have been fine. But because she chose tact over honesty, I was
//left in a state of confusion and false hope which has made it very difficult to focus on anything for the past two days. "Tact" is simply a tactful
//word for deception. The earlier a feeling is hurt, the less time that feeling has had to grow deep roots. Even when painful, the entire truth
//revealed at once is always preferable to pleasant lies that fester over time.

perspective to be coming from out of nowhere. So there would be this dissonance between an adorably cute little heart-button, and the visual of them
holding blank expressions on their faces. She runs out of the room thinking she's managed to pull the family together, and actually no such thing
has happened. But Kyler chose to take the cuteness at face value, and I'm not arguing with him because it's a valid interpretation and god knows the
game could use some cheering up. As an amateur actor myself, I respect the pursuit of personal interpretations. Maybe there's hope for this family

to take it with a grain of salt. If she seems like she cares, it's conceivable that she may actually care -but ten minutes later she probably won't.
When she was a little girl, she liked to play the Commander Keen series of platformers, but only with all the cheats on. I kept trying to convince
her that that wasn't a good hobby, but she really liked it as a mindless way to kill time. At some point maybe a decade ago, I got her to play
Yoshi's Island on a Super Nintendo emulator. I believe (though my memory of this is rusty) she actually got farther in that game than I did, despite
a somewhat glitchy emulator. Ever since then, I've had the occasional attempt to get her to play a game of some sort. And I never can. She just
doesn't play games anymore. I resent her for this. It's gotten to the point that we are barely civil to each other. She avoids me and I avoid her. */

sitting next to each other is an optical illusion brought on by the presence of two computers in one room. If she's watching a TV show on her
computer, and I'm doing something on my computer, what difference does it make that the two computers are next to each other? If I talk, I interrupt
her and she gets angry. Not that there's that much to talk about. Still, I have always looked for ways to bond with her, because she often went
along with it. She's a very sociable person, and she always makes an effort to like whatever the people around her like. Some of the things I shared
with her, she kept going with for years. I got her to play the Mario Party games with her friends (first with a Nintendo 64 emulator, then with a
Gamecube). I got her to read the comic books "Fables", "Runaways" and "Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane" for a while, all of them quality storytelling. (I
download comics off the internet illegally, so I'd just copy the files to her computer and bug her about it until she read them.) I got her to play
through maybe a third of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. And there were a bunch of TV shows that we'd watch together: LOST, Buffy the Vampire
Slayer, Gilmore Girls, Being Erica, the first season of The Voice. Writing up this whole list, it strikes me that over the years we did quite a lot
together. But for some reason it was never enough for me. If she was reading comics, I took it as a sign that maybe I could get her to read other
comics. If she was playing games, I took it as a sign that maybe she'd play other games. But there was only so much room in her life for whatever
silly things I wanted to push onto her. She has a life now, with lots of socializing and responsibilities and a fair amount of respect from others.
There is no longer anything I can talk to her about, because the things I was sharing were the only connection we ever had. */

/* Most of the time, my father doesn't seem too interested in anything. I always see him running around from place to place, doing a lot as though
it were all important -but all of it seeming completely mundane from my (admittedly limited) perspective. I tend to wonder whether we're the same
species. He's never played videogames; for that matter, he doesn't seem particularly enthusiastic about art or entertainment in general. But every
now and then, he'll show some potential for passion. Generally this involves the TV show "The Amazing Race", which he talks about with such
socially-oblivious excitement that it makes me feel like we're related after all. That is the one and only TV show he watches, and he watches it
religiously with my mother, who probably wouldn't care if she never saw it again but lets herself get invested for his benefit. Something about my
father being so interested in a TV show does not compute in my mind, but I'm not complaining. When he takes some flimsy excuse to bring up the show,
I feel like maybe on some level he can relate to me. But maybe not - I don't know how aware he is of how he acts when it comes to that series. He
wishes he could be one of those people, travelling the world and showing off all the ordinary skills he might have acquired in a lifetime. It's
never going to happen, if only for the religious issues. Which means he spends some of his time in a fantasy world, just like me. */

/* I am ashamed to say I completely fell for the Nintendo Wii's marketing. The promotional videos showed families sitting and enjoying playing with
each other, and I thought: "That could be my family!". In interviews, the system's designers explained that they found the conventional game
controller too intimidating for non-gamers. But a remote, everyone understood and was willing to pick up. And motion controls were the sort of thing
that would just look fun, so that people would see it and think "I want to try that!". There was some logic to this. I had gotten my siblings to
occasionally play Nintendo's game Wario Ware: Twisted, for instance, because it was simple to understand and involved fun motion controls. But that
was a single-player game, and multiplayer would surely be much more appealing to them. If they could play games with their friends, then maybe
they'd get more comfortable with playing games in general. So Wii Sports, which came bundled with the Wii, seemed like the game I'd been waiting for
for years. I couldn't get my family to play through a long Legend of Zelda game, but certainly I could get them to play bowling. They'd get sucked
in by the novelty, and then I could get other games which appealed to their social needs and before I knew it they'd be gamers. Well, obviously
that's not how it went. I got everyone in my family to play a few rounds of Wii Sports, and then they promptly lost interest. After that I kept
timing my gaming so that I'd be casully playing games (usually with motion controls) that might conceivably appeal to my family just as they
happened to be in the vicinity. Occasionally I'd get a "What's that?", which would always get me really excited, but by the time I delivered the
answer the interest would have dried up. Nintendo tricked me again with Wii Fit, which I actually got my family to buy, but by the time it was in
the house they had no interest in it anymore. I made a regular routine of Wii Fit, so that the others might follow me, and that didn't happen. But
I've continued exercising daily just because it seems like it's good for me. In the end I'm just left with a system of few quality games, which I
play on my own same as the Nintendo Gamecube before it. I'd say I'd never again try something like this, but I know myself too well. */

him. I think my presence may have annoyed him. At social gatherings I'd follow Benjy around like a puppy, listening to his conversations, and he'd
either begrudgingly tolerate my existence or try to get rid of me. In his late teenage years, he would stay in his room all day and made web sites
for people on his laptop. Occasionally I'd see him when he needed to use the bathroom. And so, though we were technically living together, we had
minimal interaction. On the rare occasions that I had any excuse to spend time with Benjy, I got the sense that we could have been closer. There
were, in fact, similarities to how we saw the world. But his life, which was entirely disconnected from mine, was not anchored in any one place. So
he moved to America, and I saw him only every few years. He lives in Argentina now, and I think he's been doing well for himself. I have no
animosity toward my brother for leaving; in fact, I admire his willingness to construct a life and let go of anything that doesn't fit into it. */

people told me to do, or whether my weirdness bothered people. When I was 19 I entered the Jerusalem English-speaking amateur theater scene, and
was given many opportunities to act weird without being ostracized for it. Actors don't care if you're abnormal; in fact, it's kind of expected. The
lead actor, a man of my father's generation, shared my home city of Beit Shemesh, which was a half hour ride away, and I don't drive, so I'd often
get rides with him. During these rides we'd talk continually, about everything under the sun. He is an odd man with an odd family, and he respects
oddness. During one ride, he mentioned his own antisocial tendencies. I said to him that he wasn't nearly as antisocial as me. He looked at me, a
bit confused, and said: "You're not antisocial.". Well, of course you don't think so, I thought. You've only seen me in a group with people I don't
mind! And then I thought, wait a minute. If I'm not being antisocial around these people, then maybe I'm not antisocial at all, but just was always
around the wrong people. Certainly I have always needed to socialize. I have put so much effort into trying to socialize with people; it just rarely
went well. After the tenth or twentieth dozen times you're rejected for being different, isn't it only natural to stop trying to be sociable? */

/* I hate the phrase "Asperger's Syndrome". First off, it's named after a guy who wrote a paper on what he called "autistic psychopathy". Yes, he
was referring to people like me in that paper. So I don't particularly enjoy having to refer to myself through the name of some intolerant asshole.
And secondly, I don't feel like Asperger's Syndrome is something I "have" so much as something I am. Or if I have to use the word "have", it's in
the sense of "That person has a Type-A personality!" or "You have a lot of patience.". It's a personality type, not a disorder. But I can see why
you'd think it's a problem - it does become a problem when people like me need to interact with people who are quote-unquote Normal. God, how they
bore me, all those silly little people who are more concerned with other people and with socially-mandated roles than they are with their own
interests. I understand what they expect from me in most situations; I just don't see any reason to care. Maybe other people just act how they're
pressured into acting on instinct, so people who act differently are going against some natural order of things that they've never questioned. But
whatever the reason, the fact that I've always refused to do what other people wanted me to do, and be the sort of person that other people wanted
me to be, made me an outcast from childhood. There was something Wrong with me. And it took me years to realize, no, the problem isn't me. The
problem is them. The problem is intolerance and coercion throughout our enlightened society. And I changed from thinking about Normals as my
superiors, to thinking of them as my inferiors. I suppose by definition that is bigotry. Probably the only reason I'm not more antagonistic in my
behavior toward Normals is that I understand they're the majority on this planet, and pissing them off is a sure-fire way to lose everything. But I
don't want to mingle with them, to subject myself to their disinterested chitchat, to expect them to understand why I do what I do. Now I hang out
with other strange people with strange passions. I talk about what I'm interested in. They talk about what they're interested in. It's great. But
what if I had not met such people? What if I had been in socially-mandated communities past high school, for instance if I had gone to college and
then straight into some career path, and all my life I only knew people who weren't like me? I once met someone with Asperger's Syndrome so ground
down by the people in his life that he was unwilling to speak. That could have been me. */

/* One year, after the rest of my siblings had all moved out of the house, my family agreed to celebrate my birthday by sitting around and playing
games. I was hoping for a whole day where I'd get each member of the family for a few hours and get them to play really good single-player
videogames that they'd otherwise never touch. But they gave me just a few hours in one evening, with everyone at the same time. I have no suitable
multiplayer videogames (Strange how few of those there are.), so I went next door and borrowed some board games. They were carefully chosen to fit
the occasion: games which created a sense of place and encouraged teamwork, and where the weaker players could still have a good time. First we
played Clue: The Great Museum Caper, which I knew they'd let their guard down for because it's called "Clue", even though it really has nothing to
do with the popular game. The rounds were short and lively, and everyone got comfortable with the idea of playing board games. Next we played
Shadows Over Camelot, without the traitor rules because I believed it would create too much tension in a first-time game. I didn't explain all the
rules up front, so that they'd figure it out as they went and have a more interesting experience all the way through. (I explained the rules as they
became relevant, of course.) Each of those two games had someone sitting out, unfortunately. But in the end we played Robo Rally, with all five
players, two teams of two vs. me. My family had a good time during that evening, but they're never going to do anything like it again. Still, I'm
glad I did it. In that evening I felt more like part of a family with them than at any other time in my life. */

/* My parents are always working on one thing or another. Either they're working on one of their actual jobs, or they're volunteering for the
community, or they're fixing up the house. My father's idea of relaxation is a two hour bike ride to work. My mother's idea of relaxation is two
hours of sleep. They don't understand why anyone would "waste time" on entertainment when there are so many productive things one might be doing
instead. During the day my father goes off to work, but my mother works at home so the two of us (and the dog) are sharing the house most days. We
rarely see each other, and even more rarely speak on subjects that aren't utterly mundane. I'm usually on my computer on the second floor, and my
mother is usually on the computer on the third floor. Sometimes my father comes home and sets up his work laptop on the ground floor. If my father
ever makes a little noise of disapproval while working, it means he wants to talk about whatever it is he's dealing with. I always respond
inquisitively, not because I have any interest in what he's working on but because it makes me feel good to see him interested in anything. I have
learned not to act that way in the other direction - me talking about videogames is more likely to be met with offhand dismissal than anything
approximating interest. At least I know where I stand with him. My mother, by contrast, always pretends to want to listen to everything. I recently
saw a geeky neighbor try to talk to her about Angry Birds, and I felt really sorry for her - she clearly did not understand how patronizing my
mother was being. When I talk to my mother, I'm more often amusing myself with her predictable responses than I am actually talking to her. */
