Playing at Leadership: Games, Gaming, & Leadership Studies
"Reality, unlike games, is broken." – Jane McGonigal
So since my last catching-up post, I’ve not been as prolific as I wish I could be, but se la vie. I haven’t been getting much videogaming in this summer so far, so I’ve only managed to put up part … Read More »
It’s the end of the semester, so I’m going to have to apologize for the dearth of posts here. I don’t have time to think, much less write all that much. That said, this week’s posts on TLF and NPC … Read More »
Here is the final post in the As-I-Play Bastion series on TLF. This post explains why I went from mostly being annoyed by Bastion to being a pretty serious fan. This is not a fun final post. It’s full of … Read More »
This week’s TLF post is my second-to-last in the As-I-Play Bastion series, and it marks the point when I began to realize just how political (and serious) a game Bastion actually is. If you follow me on NPC Gamer, you … Read More »
This week my final post in the Rise of the Tomb Raider As-I-Play series went up on TLF. My AIP posts tend to have a lot of frustrations in them, since those are very often the gut reactions we have … Read More »
So a new As-I-Play Bastion post went up today on TLF, and I’m actually going to say a little bit about it. I know my Bastion posts over there have mostly been a lot of me whining about how I … Read More »
This semester has been kicking my a** in terms of work and grading and committee meetings, so I have been horribly remiss about keeping this blog up to date on other things (like TLF and NPC Gamer), much less containing … Read More »
A new As-I-Play Rise of the Tomb Raider went up today over on TLF. I have to say, with the game coming out on PC/Steam this week, it is totally worth buying and playing. Game Informer reflected that Crystal Dynamics … Read More »
In keeping with the insanity that is always a part of the start of a new semester, some insanity in Rise of the Tomb Raider—my fifth As-I-Play post over on TLF. By this point in the game, things are starting … Read More »
Although I normally like to intersperse which games I’m playing for my As-I-Play posts, I just didn’t have a chance to get to Bastion over the holidays, so you get another post on Rise of the Tomb Raider instead. Which … Read More »
So it’s been a crazy holiday so far, and I apologize for being dreadfully behind on updates. So first, here’s part three of my As-I-Play Rise of the Tomb Raider over on The Learned Fangirl. For all that I make … Read More »
This week’s AIP post on Bastion over on TLF–things change up a bit in terms of the usual pattern.
As I continued playing through Rise of the Tomb Raider, elements of the game’s narrative and mise en scene just started jumping out at me as being particularly apropos for the current state of the world. Even though I was … Read More »
It likely comes as no surprise to anyone who actually reads this and my Twitter feed that I really, really, really like the new Rise of the Tomb Raider. A lot. So much so that I was already blathering about … Read More »
I guess I’ve gotten a little behind on this blog… and on pretty much everything else this semester. A couple of TLF posts have gone up since my last post here: an As-I-Play on Bastion and another on Borderlands 2. … Read More »
