OK ok, it’s been a while and I know I really should be writing more but I have just been kinda not been in a blog writing mood. I am back on a little kick though. I am doing much better. I almost am caught up with everything. I am gradually getting settled in my new place and to be honest I’m really happy here. I mean like everyone has their own space so it’s ok to not talk to someone for a week unlike my last place which it felt like the whole happy community style was a requirement.
If you don’t know what the title of this blog means then let me spell it out. Ludology is the study of games and play. It seems to have been annoyingly co-opted as the study of video games though. I kinda find this annoying cause if it weren’t for non-digital games we wouldn’t even have video games so to flatly state it as video games is franky bullshit.
I think that’s one aspect of my research I kinda want to change. Ludology is still very young so I think that it’s a good time to press for a change.
