How much money do you make?......are these questions really “that” inappropriate in this day and age?..... Now that we’ve tackled and clarified that topic, let’s talk about the real question and hand...What would you do if you ruled the world: http://www.geekologie.com/2012/11/kindergarten-girl-answers-the-age-old-qu.php This $*%! just got real: Did videogame movies just get greeeAAATTTT? http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/11/14/tom-hardy-to-star-in-splinter-cell-movie AND http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/11/16/the-video-game-movie-rises The second article is meant for referencing, just to give us some ideas. It isn’t meant to be the “main” part of this topic’s discussion. We have brought up tablet gaming before and we have discussed the effect it has on videogaming but now the tablet goes hand in hand with videogames BUT FIRST.....DANE HAS A QUESTION FOR CHARLIE: http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/11/14/8-reasons-gamers-should-own-a-tablet We have discussed the fact that the videogame industry is on the decline and has been for sometime: Does something like Smartglass help the industry? hurt it? or have no affect on it? Are videogame publishers asking/expecting too much of the player by offering additions on tablets, books, comics, webisodes and DLCs? Could it be the overload of information and media is what’s hurting the industry?.....especially DLCs. DownLoadable Content(DLC): For referencing- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downloadable_content DLCs have become the “it” thing in all the different forms of gaming. Whether it is console , PC or even tablets. It seems like that almost every game has or will have a DLC package. What are the pros and cons of DLC packages, if there are any at all? Have you ever bought a DLC a game that you’ve played? If, so was it worth it? Are there games that require or that a DLC package is useful? If so, what are they? Are DLCs worth their money or “points”(let’s be honest you buy the points, so it turns out to be money in the long run.) FACEBOOK & Texts Do you think that DLCs turn people off to gaming? That due to bad experiences they’ve been turned off to gaming. Are DLCs hurting the videogame industry? If so, do you think that the publishers know that it is and are trying to make as much money as they can and get out? Are DLCs robbing the players? Are DLCs worth the price? Should DLCs be free? M.C.M.W.: Ghostbusters Ghostbusters trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9u4FHmId-Y0 (Charlie- announce whether we are going to watch this trailer with the audio on and the mics muted or if the trailer will play while we discuss the movie.) What are your favorite parts of Ghostbusters? What makes Ghostbusters a classic? Why is this such an iconic film? What grade to do you give it? M.C.M.W.: ? I was originally planning on the movie being RED, starring Bruce Willis but since we are going to have our comic book special next week do we want it to be a comic book movie?
