Research Proposals (12/12/2013)

* Today we worked on our research proposals by filling in forms.

We did this so the lecturer has an idea of what we wish to write about in order to give us feedback. This also gives us a working document that we can use and refer back to.

* If we do contact anyone for their input/knowledge on our chosen subject, then we should include it in our work as this all adds to our research and evidence. We also need to make sure we explain what we are doing and why we are interested in a particular person's work so as to link to explain why we contacted them.

* I also decided today to figure out which examples I wish to write about in my project that I have so far entitled 'Beyond Good and Evil in Gaming - How has this changed over time?".
These examples include...

• Pacman and the Ghosts
• Contra's heroes that look like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone
• Mario and Bowser 
• Kefka from 'Final Fantasy'
• Snake and Liquid from 'Metal Gear Solid'
• Lee and the survivor he stole from in 'The Walking Dead' game
• Joel and David from 'The Last of Us'.

* In the third year we will have another written project which the lecturer would prefer to follow on from this year's one. However, we will be starting the third year's writen project next year so as to get a head start.
