The Professors (and Guest!) are Transported into Portal
This week, we begin our new series here at Professors Play! Over the next few weeks, we'll be playing our way through the Portal series (both Portal and Portal 2). For this series, we also have a special guest, fellow gamer (as she admits herself, after some coaxing) and professor, Dr. Amelia Chesley!
In this first episode, you'll hear more about our experiences with platformers in general and with Portal, a little bit about the history of the series, and also several pixels of depth concerning video games, what they are and aren't. Of course, some of the usual PP shenanigans takes place as well. Enjoy!
In our episode today we also reference a few things, and you can see them linked below:
The Long Tail https://www.wired.com/2004/10/tail/
Tournament of Books: https://www.tournamentofbooks.com/
Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, by Gabrielle Zevin: https://bookshop.org/p/books/tomorrow-and-tomorrow-and-tomorrow-gabrielle-zevin/17502475?ean=9780593321201
