NM 146 - Video Game Studies

(4)
Critical investigation of 40+ years of video game histories, technologies, global cultures, philosophies, and aesthetics relevant to the medium. Using critical texts, auto-ethnographic game play, and informative documentaries, we will critically discuss the influence and the experiential power of video games, which will culminate in a substantial research paper and in-depth independent game design proposal. Introduction to open-source game creation software will also be covered in class. Odd years Fall.
