Video games are a relatively recent phenomenon, but they’re not that new: people have been playing Pong, Tetris, and Pac-Man for over 40 years. In our college, we study the human experience through languages, literature, philosophy, film, and more, but until now, video games haven’t been invited to the party.
According to Dr. Michael Call, “Video games are increasingly important, both culturally and economically,” so why not study them in the humanities?
Every Monday at 4pm, join us in 1141 JFSB for a lecture on the game of the week. This game will be available to play in 1141 for the entire week (during regular operating hours). We’ll kick off the series on February 3rd with Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! Experience video games a whole new way, and bring your friends, too!
