My OUGDA pals,

Tomorrow we will be having our weekly meeting at 5pm and it's going to be a good one! We're going to be showing off past Game Jam games! Most Awesome Space Warrior Three: The Final Final Chapter and Extinction. And we will be actually finishing Extinction. This will give all the members who worked on Extinction the satisfaction of finishing and playing it, and also give new members the chance to see what they will be doing later on. Even if you don't know what you want to do specifically with games yet, this will give you the chance to see some development in action. So ask lots of questions and get involved as much as you can!!! Unfortunately I have to go home for the weekend so Steve will be leading the meeting (I promise he won't be that terrible). I'm excited to see what you guys can do and I want to see Extinction all done and purrtty!!

Good evening to all of my favorite OUGDA humans,Unfortunately we were unable to get enough people to do the Game Jam this weekend :( But don't worry we will have a bunch next year!! Friday we are going to have our weekly meeting at 5pm so be there or be square.  Although we will not get a chance to make a game this weekend, I would still like to have everyone pitch game design ideas for our next Game Jam. This will give us a chance to really flush out an idea and have a solid design for a game instead of just jumping in all at once. If you came up with an idea during the week or just come up with one on the spot they both will be accepted and loved (at least by me). I hope to see all your beautiful faces in the GRID Lab tomorrow night!

Hey OUDGA,

Hope everyone is having a good week whether you are in California or still holding down the fort in Athens. This Friday we will be delving into some of technical aspects of media production; specifically, the various computer file types you will run into for MDIA 250, 269B, 350, and your other production classes. Now don't fall asleep just yet, I'm not going to bore you all to death with too much technical jargon. Just a small game of Jeopardy that outlines the basics whilst still being fairly interesting (and the winning team gets a prize! :D). Meeting starts at 5pm like always!

Hope to see you all there,

P.S. For those of you not familiar with the film, it is the conclusion to the TV series Firefly. If you have not seen Firefly........... well....... you've got about 30hrs to get though the series 14 episodes.......... go!
