Response work

This is a response paper that is around a page long about digital gaming online.

Instructions:

For this paper, write a 3 paragraph response that demonstrates your engagement with two assigned readings from Weeks 3 - 6 (see list below). Use one paragraph to summarize the first reading, identifying the main argument and any key concepts or areas of focus developed as part of the author's analysis. Use the second paragraph to summarize the second reading, again identifying the main argument and any key concepts or areas of focus developed as part of the author's analysis. In the third and final paragraph, compare or contrast the two readings by identifying and explaining any notable similarities or differences in how the authors understand or treat digital culture and its effects.

Remember that this last paragraph is your opportunity to develop your own ideas (the main purpose here is to build insights based on existing scholarship - this means that there is less focus on being right or wrong in your response; it is more about demonstrating the quality of your engagement).

I picked:

ALEXANDER GALLOWAY – “ORIGINS OF THE FIRST-PERSON SHOOTER” (Week 3)

DAVID NIEBORG – “CRUSHING CANDY: FREE-TO-PLAY GAME IN ITS CONNECTIVE COMMODITY FORM” (Week 4)
