Final Game Studies Pt. 1: The Proposal

For this project, I've really struggled to think of something to do that will be both amusing to me and worthwhile to anyone who lays eyes on it. At first I was thinking about doing a comic book where two characters get trapped in the world of video games and must traverse through several well-known game locales to escape. While that would probably turn out really cool, I have to be honest with myself. As much as I've struggled this semester, am I really going to find time to do a project that would require planning, writing, storyboarding, more writing, editing, drawing, more editing, and publishing? Between sickness and ruthless employers I've found it difficult to even get to class, so I think I should do something a little less work-intensive. Not to say I'll do something stupid and quick, because that would be both unfair to Dr. S and embarrassing to me.

So what to do?

How's this strike you (phantom readership that you are)? How about I write a play? In this play, I will have one character, which will embody every anti-video game Jack Thompsonite Family Advocacy group stereotype I can think of. This character will be whimsically transported (maybe) to a land in which video games are reality and the most well-known VG icons will eventually prove that video games...well, they're not so bad, right?

Right.
