Mocking etoilate in the year 2009 is the historical equivalent of rolling dice for Jesus' clothes as he died on the cross for you sins.

Marshall McLuhlan vs Kojima

Tetris vs Heavy Rain

Though I find Heavy Rain interesting because it openly says its not exactly a videogame.

I also discussed in the thread the need to legitimize games as art so you don't end up with something like the comics code. I tried to open up talks on social responsibility for the images depicted in games. Why these two things relate. Comics, like games, faced extra scrutiny for being sold to kids. Ended up with a weird set of self enforced censorship. Washington spent hours discussing how gay sidekicks were, etc.

I'm not great at cliff notes. Most of the time I'm fighting people who want games to be toys and be allowed certain exceptionalism from the responsibilities and proving grounds that other forms of media have had to go through.

WTF is that.

I'd be doing something with critical/cultural studies/theory if I weren't in law school. as of now, I just live vicariously through my friends who are, instead.

Comic book narratives? This perhaps:

Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud. A comic about comics. It gets into the space between frames, sequentiality, the issue of time as conveyed through comics and mediation within comics.

http://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Comics-Invisible-Scott-Mccloud/dp/006097625X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1267675143&sr=1-1

For videogame stuff:

http://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Video-Games-Essential-Introduction/dp/0415977215/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1267675729&sr=1-1

This is a general overview of games, but it does have a chapter on narrative. The early chapter on the various theories on games is worth reading. It includes guys like Henry Jenkins and Jasper Juul.

Which gets to this:

http://www.amazon.com/Barbie-Mortal-Kombat-Gender-Computer/dp/0262531682/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1267675648&sr=1-12

Worth reading if you're interested in gender in videogames. It is older, and there is another book around this time with gender discussion in it(which I can't remember the name of, but I remember it having Lara Croft on the cover) but they are both from the 90s. A more recent look is made in this book, which I have yet to read:

http://www.amazon.com/Beyond-Barbie-Mortal-Kombat-Perspectives/dp/0262113198/ref=pd_sim_b_1

And a link to Jenkins' Game Design as Narrative Architecture

I don't think you sound condescending or combative. Just a bit insane, but most people do when they start going on about one of their personal passions.
