The Professional Gamer - August 30, 2013
/Hello everyone, and welcome to this week's installment of the Professional Gamer. This week, numerous events have conspired to keep me away from my video games. I did manage to sneak in some reading and watching however. Read on to find out how my week went.
Watching:
Still working my way through the NOVA backlog. This week included documentaries about the Bible and the origin of Homo sapiens. Science is awesome! I also caught this weeks episode of Shanihanigans, the weekly-ish livecast by Katie and Shaggy Shanahan. I was introduced to Katy through her Simply Potterific comic series that she did a few years ago. I have known about their livecast, but never taken the time to check it out. My special reason to have a look this week was that my friend Angi-chan was their special guest. The recorded livecast can be accessed here. Have a look to see some cool people talking about comics and art education.
Playing:
I have played no video games this week. I'm going to have to do something about that soon, but not this weekend.
Reading:
I am still working my way through The High Cost of Free Parking, and I don't have much else to report about it. I still find the author's analysis of the unintended consequences of requiring free parking to be a compelling argument about the current challenges faced in urban development.
That's all for this week. Join me again next Friday for another weekly update of the Professional Gamer.
