I should probably have mentioned I'm in Providence. It appears to be snowing. There is a gas fire making the shadows flicker on the grate. readingthedark is asleep on the couch. The chances that I will have slept enough to be more than minimally coherent tomorrow are small, but the conversation was awesome.

One of my more...eccentric...hobbies is collecting computer & video game soundtracks. At least a third of my music library is soundtracks from a variety of computer games dating back to at least 1990 or so, some of which I am certain you have never heard of. That means I have computer game soundtracks older than people eligible to vote for the first time in the 2008 election. I even have music from computer games that I've never actually played.

Of course, in the old days, game soundtracks were primitive; a few MIDI tones, sequenced endlessly together in a stream of earworms. Today is different. Any computer game worth its salt has an orchestral soundtrack, perhaps with vocal themes woven together. Or maybe even an operatic soundtrack.

The soundtrack for "Dragon Age: Origins" came out today, composed by Inon Zur, and it is beautiful. It is even art.

Yes! Art! A game like "Dragon Age", I think, isn't merely a game. It is art, a form of truly interactive storytelling. A new medium, created by blending voice acting, graphic design, artwork, music, and superb writing & world-building, fusing them together in a way that would not have been technologically possible until a few years ago. "Dragon Age" represents a new form of art, a new medium, come at last it into its own.

Plus, you get to blow stuff up, fight zombies, and save the day!

And the moral choices! The game delights in serving up these truly head-scratching moral choices, choices where the right thing to do (or even the expedient thing to do) is not readily apparent. And every choice invariably has a chain of consequences further down the road.

At the rate I play computer games, "Dragon Age" is going to take me years to finish. And that's a good thing.
