Are you pitching kidding me?!- Peer Evaluation
Are you pitching kidding me! Evaluating pitch videos and blogs was exciting but also made me realise how differently we all approached our DAs. I found that everyone was passionate about their DA idea from simply listening to their videos and reading their blogs. The process of converting my mindset from peer to tutor isContinue reading “Are you pitching kidding me?!- Peer Evaluation”

The mobile phone gaming industry is a fairly new creative industry with the first mobile game having been introduced in 1997 (Osborn 2014).

The Worst Video Game Ever?
Being crowned the title of worst anything ever sucks. Having created the worst video game that it had to be buried in the dessert because of its failure would not have been easy for the creators of the game ET, The Extra-Terrestrial. It was July of 1982 and the biggest tech company at the time,Continue reading “The Worst Video Game Ever?”
A Game Lost in Time- Playground
Back when my only worry was feeding my Nintendo dogs, back when school wasn’t stressful and back when online learning was not really a thing, I was addicted to my Nintendo DS.
