2008 Comics Conference

Zach Whalen — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 09:25:47 -0400

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.

Scratch

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.

Typophile - For those who love typography

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.

This is where to start looking for ARGs. Check the "News and Rumors" link under "Updates," and try to find a thread that interests you. On Wednesday, we'll try to decide on an ARG to play collectively.

Zero Punctuation: Game Reviews by Yahtzee

Melfi — Sun, 13 Jan 2008 23:20:15 -0500

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.
