after the presentations

We finished our presentations, interesting to see the viewpoints. It goes without saying that the topics were chosen based on personal preference, but it was interesting to see how the individual affected the information being presented. The perspectives on games varied from historical, , personal, commercial, educational, artistic. It impresses the idea that games mean different things to different people. For some they're a career choice, a passion or nostalgia.
The study of games reveals more paths and facets than can easily be explored, but I have begone to consider the place of the medium in society. What has traditionally been an insular area has seen an explosion in interest, the ongoing question is, are games living up to their potential?

The big writeup

I nominally chose Ludology vs Narratology as my big essay title. I'm already thinking of another title as it seems that the original seems less about the actual content of games, and rather more about aggrandising points of view, point and counter point till one camp is chosen. i think ill write about individual games and what they benfitted or lost from each view.
