Newbie Resources

With all of the new interest in ARGs and all of the questions that have been flying around, I thought I would post some resources and some background info. Please feel free to elaborate.

This list is derived from a brief primer I prepared for my thesis committee.

Scholarly work from http://www.avantgame.com:

http://www.avantgame.com/MCGONIGAL%20A%20Real%20Little%20Game%20DiGRA%202003.pdf

http://hypertext.rmit.edu.au/dac/papers/McGonigal.pdf (this one is my favorite)

In the news:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/computergames/story/0,11500,1104075,00.html

http://slate.msn.com/id/2078579

More to come soon.

For specific gaming resources (i.e. where can I find an encryption program fast? am I using the right de-stegging programs?) see the first section of the main forum page - esp. online resources.

agree

I would agree with Rose, I'd like to see a separate thread started for article research - I've got lots to contribute, just give me a day to dig them up. Not much of its current though - a lot about AI from the big buzz a few years back...

Game-specific "guides"

This is a little off-topic (or not? it's really hard to tell Rolling Eyes ), a little bit of a plug, and mostly me being much too anxious (Q4 is just so far away!) to see this game start already Mr. Green . There is already BriEnigma's Reference, and now I made a MU-style primer (which is, as I realize, unwarranted at this point). I can only hope to have LOTS more content to cover in it very very very soon Smile
