Comments
Rather than write a summary about what I learned from this week's reading, I decided to simply copy/paste the comments I made while annotating the Ian Bogost -- I will limit it to the introduction and 1st chapter of his book. I felt it would be interesting to look at these comments I made in a new light -- that is, stripped from its original context of Ian Bogost's book. Hope I'm making sense!
