Editor's Notes
- #5: Who cares?
- #7: This stereotype is often untrue--in how people play 1-4-player games, networked gaming like xbox live, more actively social video games like wii & rock band, mmos, facebook ‘games,’ etc. in may ays, mobile games are an extension of changes that are already happening/have already happened to how we use technology in games
- #10: Most games are not ‘designed’ or sold How do you become a comic artist? Make a comic, sell it to a friend for a quarter How do you become a game designer? Make a game, get your friends to play it
- #11: Hardware hacking as a playground for game mechanics
