The first semester is done and we're all off campus for Winter Break. Looking back on last week, I didn't realize how much of an impact this class would have on me. I mean, it's just a video gaming freshman seminar class, right?
As soon as I got home on Thursday night, I ran to my brothers and told them to get to the living room for a game of Super Mario Smash Brothers Melee and maybe Mario Kart it up. As we continued to play, I realized that I wasn't really thinking about my playing or getting an item. To my surprise, I was thinking about canon and culture...CANON. AND. CULTURE. What was going on?
To make things even better, I started discussing the game's play and textuality with my brothers, who were actually excited to be able to talk about these things with me. Thanks for this guys. :)
