I think I'm so accustomed to intelligent people critiquing things that to hear someone use their prodigious smarts to say "look, there's hope in this new thing" - well, it's pretty effin' amazing. I like the way this talk leads into thinking of identity existing somewhere between the player and the avatar - that in playing one performs the impossible identity that cannot exist 'here' or 'there' but only exists in the creation of it. Anyway, I guess I'm rambling, but thank you for posting this. You’re quite right, that is inspirational stuff.
