Proof that gaming is breaching media.

I remember around 10+ years explaining to a co-worker who didn't play games but would watch just about anything on TV or in the theaters that I often felt more engaged and experienced better, more in-depth, stories with some games. We all know there are some games that definitely don't reach such heights but then there are some that end up feeling as if you've just lived/read an epic set of books.
