An interesting take on the role of procedural rherotic (Gaming)

I really like Triad, which serves as an interesting metaphor on the challenges of poly amorous relationships.

The bar must be set really low if a simple Puzzle game is an 'interesting metaphor' for the challenges of polyamorous relationships. This is why I think games academics are horrible thinkers. What is insightful about trying to fit three people onto a bed?

You'd understand the real challenges if you talk to someone in such a relationship for THREE MINUTES over playing that game. Then go play Lup Salad. You'd have a better understanding of human sexuality, AND you'd play a better puzzle game.

I didn't think thematic praise could get and more mistaken than Bioshock Infinite, but you just proved me wrong!
