About

This is a place for me to post my (unedited, unfiltered) reading notes.

Current Research

The "games as art" debate as a popular discourse

Sid Meier's Civilization and Heidegger's philosophy of technology

Michel Foucault's aesthetic self-creation and player-imposed rules or "expansive gameplay"

Star Wars games and franchise canon/continuity

Genre as a transmedia discursive construct; "genre artifacts" as a form of generic paratext

The history and epistemology of digital game studies

Transmedia franchises as discursive constructs, not fictional worlds

Current Games

Red Dead Redemption (Xbox 360, 2010)
Super Meat Boy (PC, 2010)
Greed Corp. (PC, 2010)
Vindictus (PC, 2010)
