Exploring New Hampshire, Discovering Asia:
I really liked this presentation. It was really clearly presented, I didn't think it needed a lot of visual help, and I liked how Allie was very honest about what she was presenting (i.e. one-woman operation, don't want paid subscriptions, etc). I don't think there's anything I would change about this presentation the way it is. I'm sure there's a lot I didn't get because the audio is missing, as well. My last point that I will make is that I really like the title page. You get what it's called, the creator, and who the creator is/ why she should be listened to. I also think this is a good idea in general because there really isn't any resource that exists like it.
The Gamer's Gazette, Play the News:
I've been a fan of this idea from the beginning. I like the idea of playing a video game to get news. I do wonder if the game will be set up so that the characters have to stop and talk to people to get the narrative aspect of the news or if it will be like you can play a game and stop to talk to people or play on a timeline, for example, to get the effects of the BP oil spill. But as Joel said in class, it can be different for each game. I like that with this project, as well as with Allie's, they talk about how much it will cost, the competition (or lack thereof), etc. Overall, I think it's a good idea, and while it could be risky, it could be a good way to involve more people in the news.
