Boluk, Stephanie and LeMieux, Patrick

Treatise on metagaming in videogames. Discusses how socially-mediated parts of videogaming work - how alterante rules are created, how game definition exploits work. A cusrosry glance brings to mind Super Smash Bros Melee tournaments.

Discusses, in the introduction, the work of philosopher Bernard Suits Suits & Hurka.
