Laurie Taylor, in her article “When Seams Fall Apart: Video Game Space and the Player,” suggests that there is way to understand the relationship between a player, the player character, and the screen through psychoanalysis. This psychoanalysis shows that identification begins by allowing the player to determine (or see) shared traits with the player-character and is cemented thereon by narcissism. This narcissistic relationship progresses into the player-character evolving from having shared traits with the player into being a part of the player. This is critical in allowing a player to transcend into the role of the player-character. As Taylor states, “without narcissistic projection, the player remains outside of the screen and can operate on the screen, but not from within the screen.” The idea of operating on the screen rather than inside of the screen implies that the easiest way to directly immerse a player into the video game reality is by allowing them to operate in first-person rather than third-person. The player goes through screen (via first or third person view) and narcissistically assumes the identity of the player-character, and my argument is that player customization eases the ability to go beyond just shared traits and gain created traits.

In “The Character of Difference: Procedurality, Rhetoric, and Roleplaying Games” by Gerald Voorhees, he establishes the theory that fantasy role-playing games help players deal with various social and cultural tensions. Many people choose races based on the skill set they desire, as Voorhees puts it, “ability modifications are factored into the process of character development.” There is also a counter argument stated in the paper that since player-characters are simulations of lives, character development through experience is modelled after personal growth in the real world. In the real world, development is based on accomplishments and interactions just as enemies, quests, and experience points provide the framework for character progression. Voorhees asserts that character development and creation “reproduces a classic binary between... body and mind.”

Microsoft announced Project Natal, a complex system of sensors that forsakes the controller for cameras and microphones that process the motions, facial expressions, and voice of the user. While this sort of technology may seem unbelievable, it has old roots dating back to arcade games that registered movement of players to the modern Wii console that relies strongly on the user gesturing with the controller. Bogost's article is broken down into two sections.

*Gestures as Action: Gamers understand that moving the controller left will move the avatar left.

*Gestures as Meaning:
