GAME OVER...lol
Long time no see nor write Bloggy you snob..lol.
The topic today in lecture was about Gaming and the culture that surrounds this phenomenon. The reading was from Steven Poole's "Trigger Happy: Videogames and the entertainment revolution" and Kevin was lecturing! There was much debate in class about whether there WAS/IS a technoculture with videogames and such. Until KEVIN showed a clip about a little sneak peek of 'StarCraft 3'(??) the demo (a.k.a NOT THE REAL THING) in South Korea. I swear more people were watching and attending that 'ceremony' than Diana's wedding (or funeral-'Rest in Peace',Princess) I never would have believed it otherwise. Then to have the idea of a NATION or country that made this form of entertainment a 'national sport'? Im not too sure whether the guy sitting behind me was figuratively speaking, because his facials said otherwise.....I tend to be quite gullible though. LOL
From all that was thrown about in class today, one thing tended to keep on getting repeated and debated upon. This being the 'power' of video games and anything associated with it. Its influence upon young children is still a matter of continuing studies and research. Financially? It is more successfully than the film industry! The effects of censorship (NZ censorship to be exact- the 'R' rated thingys) and whether it has educational purposes. Hmmm i wonder if Alladdin Maths level 2 is considered as such...I hope so, otherwise my little niece is gonna get banned from the computer..
Well Bloggy, as you can obviously see, Videogames are not my thing, mainly because i was brought up in the islands and we had better things to do. lol. Oh and never heard about playstations until i came here, so yeah, in a way im kind of gutted :( i mean, who is there to blame when i go on my random car-jacking rape attacks along Karangahape Road????
Damn..
