^ Or, that a game genre equals hybridity, because game genres are complex sums of interaction and rule mechanisms, audiovisual styles, and popular fiction genre conventions.
British "weird" authors, for example, published their work in mainstream literary magazines even after American pulp magazines became popular. Although "weird fiction" is chiefly a historical description for works through the 1930s, the term has also been used since the 1980s, sometimes to describe
slipstream fiction that blends horror, fantasy, and science fiction.

^ The majority of games are set in particular well-defined genres.
The tone for urban fiction is usually dark, focusing on the underside. Profanity (all of
George Carlin's
seven dirty words and urban variations thereof), sex and violence are usually explicit, with the writer not shying away from or watering-down the material. In this respect, urban fiction shares some common threads with
dystopian or
survivalist fiction.
.^ Apart from the fact the video games often do not have happy endings (games usually end with a player-character's death), Schatz's four terms describe the action of most video games.
^ Characters appearing in abstract games may be anthropomorphic in design (such as Q*bert), but usually do not attempt to represent real world animals or people or their behaviors.
However, in the second wave of urban fiction, some variations of this model have been seen.

- Traditional Animation: Also known as "cel animation", this is one of the oldest animation subgenres. Basically, it is a way of animating a cartoon by drawing and painting pictures by hand. Each drawing or painting is a different frame of animation, and when they are flipped or put in sequence at the right speed, they give the illusion of movement. .
- Stop motion: A genre similar to Traditional Animation, however, instead of using hand drawn pictures, stop motion films are made with small figurines or other objects that have their picture taken many times in order to provide the animation frames.^ Or, we have to accept that the diversity of games requires many more genres and subgenres than traditional media products which have benefitted from genre studies.
