Speaking of the end of the school year, the final few weeks of classes have made it difficult for either me or Skyler to update the blog. However, my semester essentially ends next Tuesday, so I should be able to write/podcast soon after. I (and likely Skyler as well) plan on updating the blog frequently over the summer.

I know I plan on continuing my “Changing Demographic of the Gamer” discussion that I started here and continued in podcast form here. Also, I plan on purchasing Grand Theft Auto IV this coming Tuesday (along with most of the gaming world I assume), so expect impressions, and an analysis of Super Smash Bros. Brawl: What they did right, what they did wrong, and what they should have done but didn’t do at all.

Also, our first request will be answered as Skyler and I decide what game we would create if we had the money/time/ability to create a video game.

Expect those pieces within the next month or so, and expect updates throughout the summer. With so many big releases and industry news, there will be plenty to talk about.

The first written post is a sort of general overview of the topic. For the next few podcasts, I’ll be delving into the specifics of why certain types of people are playing video games, why the market has changed to accommodate them, and how the industry will change because of them.

In this first edition of the series, I talk about why females have become gamers, and how the industry might be scaring the next generation of female gamers away.
