My research proposal for “Real|Unreal: Crafting Actuality in the Documentary Videogame” (link coming soon) has now been successfully defended. Full steam ahead for an anticipated Winter 2010 completion.

A new paper, linked with my research: “JFK Reloaded: Documentary Framing and the Simulated Document” has now been published in the journal Loading.

I have designed and will be teaching the English 398D course “Videogames and/as Literature” (pdf) at Concordia this Winter term.

Work continues on GAMMA4, which this time around will be held during the GDC in San Francisco. Although we will miss the Montreal crowd tremendously, an amicable split with a more industry-focused MIGS was in order, and the GDC has definitely shown us the love. We’re actively looking for sponsors and a kick-ass venue, so if you also have the <3 for Kokoromi, give me a shout at cloo courtesy of kokoromi org.
