Sometimes I have to give a tour of our building and so I talk about the journalism and the sports media and the research area and all of our cool classroom technology and so on. And then sometimes there’s a great flier up. Like this one which is up this week, that would let me tell someone more about the video game programs:
Come to college! Play games!
I wonder how hard a sell that on parents. But once they get here, they have a really great setup, and some incredibly talented peers. Someone is down in the game lab as I’m writing this and they’re making some impossibly cool game. It’s another one of those worlds that most of us don’t understand. Then they’ll launch the beginning of a career or create another gaming success and all of us will think “Well why didn’t I come up with that?” while we download it or go buy it or whatever you do your video game purchases these days.
They should come up with a cool little easter egg to drop in the background shots, so we all know when we run across an IU developer.
NBC correspondent Chris Pollone joined the podcast today. He’s a good get, and this is a pretty great story he’s talking about. A reporter found, perhaps, what is thought to be the last ship to deliver slaves into the United States.
Chris will be back on the show next week, too. And tomorrow, we may really hit the big time. And I have now shifted all of the latest episodes to Podbean for hosting purposes. It just seemed a good time to up the game a little bit. Now I just need to get the thing syndicated to streaming sites.
