The End of The Beginning

  Over the last few years it has become very apparent that what a "gamer hero" is has changed in many ways, sometimes fundamentally, just as it became obvious with the death of Superman that comics and the like had forever changed. This is the end of the beginning of the gamer hero's initiation into theatrical and literary canon.  Society has acknowledged(finally) and welcomed the addition of this brand of hero to our culture's contemporary archetypes.  The posts that will follow this are the discussion and analysis of the history and characteristics of gamer heroes and this decades long induction.
  Both Mark Homayouni and myself will be posting weekly, reading and responding to comments and questions from anyone, and hopefully slaying some trolls while we're at it. We'll be covering as much as possible from movies like Tron and Gamer to novels like Snowcrash.  We want you to respond, especially if you disagree with what we say(mostly because we like a good laugh), but we really just want to keep the discussion going, so speak your mind and remember: Superman is dead.
