Games, Games, Games!!!

Last week's lecture was on GAMES!!! I have to admit, i was looking forward to this lecture, since i thought we might actually get to play some games haha, plus Adam our own cool tutor was taking the lecture, so I thought this could be interesting! The lecture started off with the amusing video of NINTENDO SIXTY-FOOOUUUUURRRR!!!! Unfortunately, the sound wasnt working....but since i was so intrigued by its mute version, i actually went home and watched it with sound! hahaha it was funny! Truely showing just how huge the impact of some new technologies have on young children :)

But unfortunately, the whole lecture was NOT on watching kids open christmas presents, there was a theory behind it all. Adam discussed some different examples of 'games', such as arcade games and console games, and the effects and theoretical considerations concerning video games. There was a video that was supposed to be shown at the end of the lecture, but it didnt work, so i cant comment on that. But hey, I didnt care....who ever thought we'd be learning about GAMES at uni haha!!! Awesome!
