Week Ahead: 3

3	9/6	Play through Gone Home to completion.
	9/8	Richard Bell, “Family History: Source Analysis in Gone Home.” Begin to discuss podcast assignment.

Check your email for a message from me about the games we’re playing over the next few weeks.

It should take you about 2 hours to play through Gone Home to the end. Publish a post to your course site with 2-3 paragraphs of observations you make during game play, or liveblog your experience playing if you want to try that.

Thursday we’ll continue our discussion of Gone Home by looking at Bell’s analysis of the game, and we’ll also spend some time making decisions about our podcast for this semester. I’ll ask you to listen to a couple of the podcasts from last semester before class on Thursday.

Edited to add:

If you have not managed to create your site yet, don’t panic but do send me a quick email or leave a comment here to let me know you’re working on it. And then play Gone Home and write your observations up in a simple document, which you can put in our shared Google folder. Even if you have not created your site, still play the game for tomorrow!
