Reaction Paper #5

This one involves playing a video game. Here is the page:

Go to the "downloads" and you can get it for Mac or Windows.

AFTER you play the game (it takes 5 minutes or so), write a response and reaction of what you think the game means (or what it means to you). (Think about the title, too)

Ok, now wait until you've written your interpretation. Now move on..

Read this statement by the maker:

...how does this compare to what you thought the game was about? Was there an emotional response for you? If so, how can something so simple draw an emotional reaction? Do video games have as much potential for an emotional story as movies? If movies are considered art, what about video games?

Due by midnight on 9/30! If you get it done before class on 9/30 we can chat a little about it.
