Writer and music industry VIP Seth Price says: "Only hardcore gamers appreciate the true school...they figured out that words pretty much kill pictures. It's like when sound came along and ruined the movies. Or like how Final Fantasy II symphonic double-CD sets can't compete with the vicious headache-inducing microtrax of yore. Math is based on the concept of infinity. I don't claim to be a hardcore gamer -- I basically have no credit as a video game person except in this one move, which I'll repeat over and over until I am forcibly retired. So, the lab contains video-game soundtrack music off a CD called Game Heaven, which steals the labor of a thousand hackers, and then a projection of Romance, a video I helped produce showing "the game that started it all," and also jodi.org's SOD -- a harsh retelling of the game you might have played in 1984 on an Apple IIE, depicting Nazis."

All GAMES WITHOUT BORDERS events are free and open to the public.
