Tuesday, November 22, 2011 at 11:27PM I'll keep this short. As noted, this post includes spoilers. They are not plot spoilers. Mostly, they focus on the absolute failure and tragedy of game design which is the tower defense minigame in Assassin's Creed: Revelations.
Friday, November 11, 2011 at 11:06AM I've been talking about moving my dissertation online for a number of months. I even cleared it with my participants a while back, and a few of them were rather excited by the prospect. At this point I still haven't gotten past creating a page on this site (currently hidden) where I will begin the work of editing the text to improve the parts I don't like, and reformatting it for online readability...

...moving on.

Games design, video games, video games as art in Games Sunday, October 2, 2011 at 9:38PM I've tried to keep this installment on games and narrative shorter than the previous one, but I'm afraid I haven't been entirly successful. After all, this post dips into some pretty deep theoretical territory and you know how that goes. At any rate, this post starts with a conversation that happened on Google+ in a thread John Woodring started about gamification in education . At some point in the thread, Roger Travis and I drifted into a fairly theoretical conversation about games and narrative.
