As a class we'll be playing and examining a wide range of different games in class, but for now, I’d like you to attempt to play another game from the list that sounds interesting to you (or, find a free game that matches up with a research/career-related interest you have that's not on the list and let me know about it!), and consider whether or not the processes in it match up to the descriptions provided by your peers. If you find yourself with a lack of things to say about the game in question, I urge you to check another game out and do the following as well for the games at this link:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/15fq5GgqrbI9z0n9Lt3X4hVE0ret7xyOg2jKi55axa-Y/edit?usp=sharing
At a minimum, I want you discussing these points as they relate to one game that sounds interesting that you don't play in class, but again, if you don’t find yourself with much to say, I encourage you to find another game to try and do the same with and discuss 2 or 3 games in your post.
Remember, you need to have a minimum of 200 words to get credit for this blog post, so for every sub-200 word post I’ve let slide in the past, the days are over now. Make sure you’re engaging with the prompt and (in this case, anyway) starting to get familiar and comfortable with procedurality and identifying processes in games and procedural expressions/arguments.

- Write about the main process carried out by the player in the game
- Come up with some potential arguments for the game's process(es)
- Suggest ways in which these processes could be researched
- Suggest ways in which the game’s processes might (or not) match up with the real world
