I think it's true of most gamers that we like to talk about our games when they're not being played. And why not? We've invested a lot of time in it, and we've done a lot of cool things that didn't get as much attention as we would like. And sometimes we didn't get to fully express all that we wanted because time was short, or we didn't have the right words at the time.
So, when we talk about all this stuff over lunch with our friends (let's say our game is still ongoing) and we clarify certain things to ourselves and fill in extra details to each other? It might not involve a full set of game participants, but it sure as heck sounds like Exploration to me. And it comes pretty close to a kind of gaming.
Is this gaming? Is it gaming in the game game? If not, then just what is going on here?
