Games

I need to be careful with the word “game”. On the one hand, there are games one plays for fun; on the other hand, there are things that are games only in a technical sense. In the mathematical sense, there's game theory; in the military sense, there are war games; and in the evolutionary or biological sense, there are behavioral strategies and so forth. Even those distinctions aren't very good—game theory applies to all kinds of games, even fun ones, and StarCraft, for example, is a kind of military simulation. It's all very confusing.

Anyway, in this category I'll mostly be talking about the kind of games one plays for fun.
