Whether you started with Mario on the NES or just recently joined in with Angry Birds, it's very likely you have memories of playing a game. But are those memories "real"? All you were REALLY doing was manipulating your thumbs. Yet when looking back on games, we tend to describe our experience as something WE personally DID. So what's up?
