This week beagan with another presentation for out group game, seeing as we have had more members join, i have changed roles from lead artist to lead animator as we had no animators, therefore after the resentation Sioban was very impressed with the groups progress and asked that in the next presentation we have a specific list of peoples roles within the group and who is keeping to their roles and who isnt, this is so that the production can go alot more smoothly.
Also during this week of game contexts I found more words i did not understand the meanings of in the readings Sioban had asked us to complete summaries for, "the video game theory reader 2", "Understanding video games" and "An introduction to game studies: games in culture", from these three readings i found the following words that i did not understand;
Epistomology
Dialectics
Ontology
During the lesson, Sioban asked for a write up about the very first game i could remember playing and the games i have played since up until deciding to come to university, then a breif reason why i decided to come to university, the reason behind this was to get everyone to talk about how they had come to this point in their life and compare them all for similarities allowing us to see how games have affected out decisions in life if at all.
The main point for this week will deffinately have to be the critical analysis of our pasts and comparing them to each others to see what affects games have had on our decisions, i found this very interesting and believe it could be useful in the future.
