In preparation for Discussion Forum #6, each student will participate in three sessions of network multiplayer gaming with one or more other people. This means that students must play with other people online in different physical locations. Students may play the same game during each session or different games. Students may play with the same people each session or different people (although I encourage students to play at least one session with strangers). Play may be cooperative or competitive. After the three play sessions, each student must post a critical comment of approximately 500 words. Students must select games from the list below (most of which are available at Sharky's or available for check out from me) or independently find games with a network multiplayer component.
Submit your comment below after critically considering issues surrounding your network multiplayer experiences, such as:
