Rock Band

I'm obsessed.
We are having another event in the PUB featuring Rock Band. The Bentley Gaming Society has been trying to get Harmonix to come. I'm still crossing my fingers.

We as a group, are really trying hard to get someone from Harmonix to let us interview them..*cross fingers*

I've been reading some articles about Gender and Video Gaming recently and hopefully that will make it's way to the surface of this blog more frequently the more we, as a group, explore it. Susie, has been getting into really hardcore games like World of Warcraft and so she will probably be providing a lot of great insight into that game.

I recently watched a film called Run Lola Run by Tim Tykwer. It is a German film but it reminded me a lot of The Matrix in the whole, 'game interface'/real vs. illusion kind of world. It was really interesting and I'll be posting a blurb about what I wrote about in my paper in regards to the 'gaming look' in movies and look into what kind of movies have been games first and what audiences they attract in relation to the kind of audience the original game attracted.
