Balance

Back to the Ludology/Narratology debate. It occurs to me that there may well be no s=uch thing as a pure narrative either. So what's the game? For example, when watching a movie, we are supposed to be passive, but in fact, while we have no influence over the events, we do 'play' in our heads. We attempt to predict the endings, we place ourselves in the place of protagonists. The act of constructing inner narratives, intrerpreting the plot etc. can be seen as a form of game.
