I am sick of writing my thesis!!! I want it to be over!!! I have just a little over a month to get it and everything else stressfull in my life over with and I want it done with! I just finished drafting my last chapter and I don't want to think about it anymore!!
I know, I know, nothing worth doing is ever easy, but I am stressed out.
I am going to NYU next year and at this point I am not sure if I want to go through this stress again. Arggggggg.
I'm sure I will get over it. I just hope I get through it in one peice!!!

First-Person Shooters Aren't Like Movies and That is a Good Thing --A paper about why Shooters aren't like films and how comparisons to them do a disservice to what Shooters are.

That paper was presented at the 2002 PCA under the title "More Than Moving Pictures: Developing New Criteria For Designing and Critiquing Computer Games. The presentation version can be found here. The handout I distributed can be found here.
