Rich Rodriguez

It was cool to have Rich come in and talk to the class about his project from last year, and video games in general. I really love the idea of Little Big Planet, the gaming platform he was using, because as Rich was saying, it's definitely taking us to the next level in gaming where we have become such experts in playing video games that we can actually understand how they work and make our own. I always find that there's nothing more satisfying than making your own anything, food, clothes, art, and now video games. The game that he created, Owl Collector, was pretty neat, basic, but to be able to see how all the levers are switched and how each action has a trip wire was a really cool experience. I'm by no means an intensive gamer, but I enjoyed seeing how it all worked.
