<h3 id="what-they-are">What they are</h3>
<h4 id="17776">17776</h4>
<p>17776 is a work of interactive fiction by Jon Bois and Secret Base hosted on the sports news website SBNation. Following the awakening of the Pioneer 9 space probe to consciousness, it explores what it means to be immortal and bored on a level that I certainly have never seen in fiction before.</p>
<p>It is also about football.</p>
<h4 id="20020">20020</h4>
<p>20020 is a piece of interactive fiction by Jon Bois and Secret base hosted on the sports news website SBNation. Like its predecessor, it explores the meaning - or paucity thereof - of an immortal life.</p>
<p>It is also about one 2217 year long game of college football. </p>
<h3 id="why-they-are">Why they are</h3>
<p>It is difficult to explain why something exists at the best of times, but doubly so when that thing is a piece of postmodern literature taking the form solely of conversations between space probes sixteen and eighteen thousand years in the future.</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s probably worthwhile to put the works into the context of when they came about and who it was that created them. </p>

<p>The further away from being a beginner one gets, the less it seems like play and more like work (alt title: the deplayification of gaming) </p>
<h3 id="temporal-distance">Temporal distance</h3>
<p>The further one gets from the origin of a game, the less it feels like a game and the more it feels like a story.</p>
<p>Football has been around a long time by 17776 and even longer by 20020 (College ball has been going for 2217 years), and it feels less like a game and more like a story at this point; the longer a gam
e runs, the more abstract the game portion of it feels.</p>

<p>&ldquo;funniest part about it all is that Nick and Manny aren&rsquo;t even tall that good at actual football&rdquo; - JUICE </p>
