The Most Dangerous Gamer Response

I loved this piece and thought it was a fascinating read despite being a "non-gamer."  I think Clark carefully crafts his narrative to speak to those of us who know nothing about gaming while simultaneously reaching out to a more informed gaming audience.  He does this, I think, by weaving historical narrative with contemporary story-telling techniques to create an easy-to-navigate profile that highlights both the game creator and his games.
I particularly loved Clark's in-depth descriptions of both Braid and The Witness and, with the help of the video, could really visualize how intellectually and creatively different Blow's approach to game creation really is.  I also enjoyed the background information about Blow.  Clark's looks into the past let us glimpse the child "computer nerd" and helped illustrate Blow's metamorphous into renowned video game creator.
One thing that I think comes across in this piece, however, is Clark's awe of Blow.  While in some ways this benefits the piece, such as in the ways he describes how his kind of work has never been done before, in other ways it hinders the piece.  Blow obviously has a troubled and somewhat dark past, yet Clark does not fully uncover it nor does he reveal the secret self that Blow has incorporated into Braid.  I was kind of hoping that Clark would dig up the dirt on Blow and talk, for example, to his estranged family members or figure out who this "princess" is and talk to her.
