Zero Punctuation: Game Reviews by Yahtzee

These are some of the best game reviews I've ever seen/heard. Not only are they hilarious, but Yahtzee (the reviewer) discusses recent games of all genres and a few different platforms. He tends to favor the ones with well thought out storylines, so I figured it could relate to the class in that sense. I just enjoy them so much that I figured I'd share with the class. There's a new one every Wednesday.

If anyone out there is a typography/font/design geek like me, then you might enjoy this little community I've stumbled across. It's fun to watch people develop new typefaces in a public forum and discuss the process.

I haven't used it yet, but Scratch looks like a pretty easy to use yet powerful tool for making simple games and animation. If you try it, let me know how it goes.

This is the website for the 2008 Comics Conference, including the program (PDF) and bios of speakers. If you attend any conference event and write a blog response to it, that blog entry will count double toward your total. However, if you already got extra credit for a response to Katherine Hayles' lecture, you will not receive additional extra credit.

All panels and keynotes will take place in Emerson Alumni Hall.
