So for Video Game Theory, I'm writing a paper on how transmedia storytelling differs from adaptation. You may have questions about what the heck that means, and this paper and the blog will hopefully begin to inform you on my thinking. What you need to know are the two primary texts I'm using (well, they're actually several, but you get the jist): The Lord of the Rings and The Matrix. I'm embarking on the LOTR case study, which means reading the books, watching the films, and playing the games. And there is my weekend. By all means, follow along. I'll be posting throughout the experience today and tomorrow.
Currently, I'm doing laundry, cause that needs to get done, and finishing The Fellowship of the Ring. Once I've done that, I'm going to watch the movies long into tonight and probably into tomorrow.
On a side note: Blizzard sucks. Obviously I love the game, but I've paid for an empty box, and both Gamestop and Blizzard are giving me the run around. It's not often I get worked up about things, but I am livid that as of right now, I'm just out $40. Oh well. Hopefully this will get resolved.
Back to our main program. Let it begin...
