In preparation for our discussion of new media and gaming, here’s a thread to discuss your gaming experiences and connect them to various readings or course ideas.
First off, enjoy this video in honor of Sixth Sense.
Next, use this space to post some thoughts on the game you’re playing and how our theories of narrative might help understand how it works as storytelling.
As you start playing through Portal, here’s a thread to post your thoughts, especially about the balance between storytelling and gameplay. Let’s assume that the “first part” refers to levels 1-14 or so, as things shift a bit after that point.
Please share with the class what game you plan on playing through (in addition to Portal) this semester, and (if appropriate) what platform the game is on. Also, share why you chose that game.
