MetaThumb v2 - Which is more meditative to play?

[AteBit]

These are Metagame cards drawn at random. 1 Topic. 5 Games.

Please state your choice and your reason(s) why.

Version 2 ... now with more video gaaaames.

Hoping this works better. You have a few cards, and you must play one, (and successfully defend it against your opponents). So this is a decent proxy of the player's card selection phase, instead of the challenge/defend phase of the game which comes after.

So here we go again...

Silent Hill. One crucial (possible) aspect of meditation is becoming aware of every part of your body and experiencing what you feel in every part. Silent Hill encourages this by making you fear bodily harm, specifically since you can't easily defend yourself. With these heightened tensions running through your body, it facilitates reaching this state of meditation, moreso than the other games.

(Wow, this is bullshit.)

Is there uh, a point to this?

[Sno]

Does there have to be?

Have you heard of the card game he's deriving this from?

I have not, and if you have an explanation of it I'd love to hear it. As it stands, they're rather terrible discussion topics.

Really. I mean really.
