Back on track – the prelude

I figured I should finally try to face the facts and try to fix the situation: since master thesis topics tend to change more often than bed sheets (at least on my ‘once in two weeks’ changing rhythm), the last time this blog was up to date was October.

I had, of course, realised this ages ago. However, the crucial ingredient required for change, it seems, was a seminar held at University of Tampere last week, called Games Research Methods. As is usual in such events, the socialization that took place outside the actual sessions (or during them on an IRC shadow channel) were the most fruitful ones. A thesis topic that had been stuck for weeks took some giant leaps towards (temporary) completion in just two days, and special thanks goes to all the people I talked with during the seminar. Not only did I get some excellent ideas on my topic, I also got a lot of practice on trying to explain the focus of my upcoming thesis.

So, I figured I should probably give it a try in writing too. Keep your eyes peeled for my post tomorrow, for I’ll be waiting for your comments on it!
