Reckless Abandon

Along with my friend Ben, I'm going to be launching a new site soon, devoted to video games and scholarship. We're calling it, appropriately enough, Video Game Academy.

There's a number of projects we're working on there, from game reviews and analysis to promoting the academic study of games and contributing to the diffusion of existing scholarship, so I hope you'll check it out.

This isn't to say I won't keep on with the occasional posts here re-imagining public education, or updating my long-term readings of Pullman or Xenogears, but I'm going to try to focus on the new site for a bit to get it established. 

We're starting out with a short course on Little Inferno, a brilliant mobile game, and a then digging into the classic Final Fantasy VI (initially released as FFIII in the US), one I never actually finished playing all the way through. See the new site for more info, and let us know if you want to get involved!

  1. It great that you are launching your own courses on games. The academic study of games will also be quite helpful for game developers. I will definitely visit the new website regularly.
