Master Presentation - Animated GIFs
It came to my attention that I had not posted any of my animations so they could be seen outside of my Thesis Presentation. I borrowed heavily from Megaman sprites in order to do these, as well as some Kingdom Hearts and Spirit of Mana sprites for the baddies.

I put down my much-neglected Pokemon Black in order to finally start reading this book, which I’ve had since the first week it was released but never had time to read. It has been well worth it so far. Jane McGonigal has been a huge source of inspiration for my thesis, and this book is incredibly insightful and informative.
The final element to my thesis campaign. These kiosks will be placed in malls, school fairs and festivals like The Exhibition. Here parents will be able to interact with the system with their children, while personnel tell them about how the actions that the child takes playing video games can enrich other aspects of their lives. After the child is done they will get a t-shirt related to the game they play.
