Content in GAM3R 7H30RY, new video game consoles
Submitted by Lulu on 19 November 2006 - 2:31am. content | GAM3R 7H30RY | readings | video gamesI talked a little before about format in GAM3R 7H30RY, and now I wanted to comment a little on the actual content.
I enjoyed reading the first few chapters in the "book," but as the author started getting overly theoretical with his ideas and new words like agon, alea, heterotopia, and atopia, I had a difficult time following along. I thought it was interesting that McKenzie chose to talk about these ideas in such an extensive manner and didn't actually concretely define what he meant by each term until the fifth section, "Atopia." By then, he starts defining alea as "chance" and agon as "competition," (card 115) and I literally had to write down all his definitions and constanty refer to them in order to remind myself of what he was referring to.
