Everyone who David Thomas knows from his days in Leysin has an interesting story about how they ended up there. This is his. This is also a story about the rise and fall of the American College of Switzerland and how, as student body president, David got caught in the middle of a financial scandal that hinted at bigger problems below the surface.

Its demise was unnecessary and, sadly, self-inflicted.

They position fun at the heart of the aesthetics of games. As beauty was to art, they argue, fun is to play and gamesthe aesthetic goal that we measure our experiences and interpretations against.
