This blog marks the end of the VideoGame Canon Seminar with Dr. Zach Whalen. Looking back on what I personally have gathered from this class I realize that it has helped me to not just look at videogames in a new light but it has also helped me with my classes as well.
This class has had me looking at videogames like a text, in depth and analytical. Now when I play videogames I don't just notice how good or bad it is I also notice things like: oh this guy made the game so that if you die you have to start al over from the very beginning to represent death in the real world in a videogame. I'll then be able to draw from that to find the overall meaning of a videogame being something like how the game was made to mirror real life.
While taking this class I discovered that when an English Professor teaches a seminar class then it will contain tons of writing. Other than complaining about how the class should be writing intensive, this class actually helped me with my actual writing intensive class.
I will continue to post blogs on the VGC website after this semester. I will post a wide variety of things to the website much like I do now, from videogame analysis to interesting news about videogames or videogame related elements like my previous post Do Re Mi Fa So La Bleep Bloop.
