I remember from the movie "A Beautiful Mind" how gaming theory was mentioned. Or was it implied? After looking at a wiki entry about the movie http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Beautiful_Mind_%28film%29 The term Nash Equilibrium caught my interest.

"In game theory, the Nash equilibrium...Stated simply, you and I are in Nash equilibrium if I am making the best decision I can, taking into account your decision, and you are making the best decision you can, taking into account my decision." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nash_equilibrium

I don't know how well the wiki entry was researched. But I find it interesting how this theory intuitively reminds me of "tic tac toe". There's a lot of mathematics in the entry so be forewarned (sorry, the internet has ruined my grammar skills)

The last video I played was called "Gravity Pods". It's pretty much another hybrid of pong. I enjoy the visual calculations, riddled with obstacles, the player has to make in order to blow up the target. It is from http://www.wickedpissahgames.com/games/gravitypods/GravityPods.html

The discussion we had about McLuhan's book was a little disappointing but I think most people were preoccupied about the presentation of their craft, me included.
