After a long break over the summer, we restarted our playpod meetings this past Thursday. Joshua led the discussion, which focused on the issue of measuring “engagement” in games. We also brainstormed possible topics for this semester, and came up with the following tentative list:
- Engagement (19/08/2010)
- Traditional Asian games (Mahjong/麻將, mancala, etc.)
- Rereading in interactive stories
- Game design and movies
- invite Shao Han to give a talk
- ???
We also got side-tracked into discussing how to (eventually) change the playpod discussions into an “official” reading group, and the possibility of reviving the idea of bi-monthly movie screenings.
