I'm an aspiring narrative designer - my undergrad was in Classics (i.e. Greek and Latin), and I'm currently in the MA in Communication Studies program at Baylor University. I've been playing video games since way back: my dad used connections to score me Super Mario Bros. II & III each a week before they hit the stores, so I was a cool kid, at least for a few days there. I <3 stories, telling them, reading them, writing them, seeing them...playing them - video games are a shiny new medium and I hope to be a part of the development of the new forms of narrative they will generate (and already are)! Ludology vs. Narratology - LAME! The best games are fun to play and have an immersive world brimming with narrative: the Zelda games, BioShock, Left4Dead, WoW, and the list goes on... A good game can have just one of those aspects, but the best have both. At least in my inflated opinion.
