Amidst the chronic barking of a dog and an interrupting baby in the studio, the Bufnagle team explores the modern art medium of video games.  When well done, they can teach us ethnic tolerance and sibling synergy; they are teaching tools and rich graphic art; they allow us to grow and discover as individuals or in co-ops.  

But, like all art, they need to help us to be more connected as human beings without manipulating what it means to be human.  While it may be tempting to descend into a world of pure fantasy (ie, "metavese"), only the real world that might be revealed through metaphor in video games is where you chase real things in order to experience being human.  You are called to live in your Now, in the real world, in your real time, and not through a headset and handheld controller.

Enjoy what the games offer but know that you can only Seek, Be, and Spread the real Good in the real world.
