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.
