Singaporean Game Effects Research
This Monday I met with game effects researchers from two key Singaporean universities, Angie Khoo of Nanyang Technological University, and Timothy Sim of the National University of Singapore. From my take on our conversations, it sounds like their team is on the absolute right track. Rather than jump to conclusions, or use some of the faulty reasoning that’s been the backdrop of game studies in the hard sciences, this team is coming to some of the conclusions essential to building a real foundation for good research. It’s a very, very good thing.
But I might have been biased. It was pretty nifty to see a copy of my addiction thesis that I didn’t print out myself. Some kind of weird cross between gratification and surprise, though we did cover a bit of its content.
Overall, it’s kind of exciting to be having, like, power lunches and stuff.

You mean like…they found your thesis on their own. Cool!
Naaaah, I pointed ‘em towards it.
Still, they took the time to print it out and go over sections. Considering that I’ve had a past professor LOSE a thesis - in my book it’s really cool when a teacher, who has their own committments to handle, takes time out to read something I’ve written.
That’s still cool!!
I loved your thesis. And I found it and printed it out on my own, thank you very much.
