I’ll tell you now, the only association the title above has with the content of this blog is that it broadly refers to the fact that all of the networked media is connected in some way,shape or form…

I won’t lie,  I found the unlecture rather dull this week… Perhaps due to the fact that I have no interest in video games whatsoever. However, I enjoyed understanding the connection between video games ( something I don’t particularly enjoy) and X- factor ( a show I do enjoy). Shows like the X-factor are modeled on the foundational elements of a video game. As Adrian points out, you have an “arbitrary set of rules and a master”. Each contestant then competes against another and to win the competition…. I had never even made such a connection in my mind between these two mediums. Interestingly enough, they’ve designed a video game based on the x-factor. Without being aware of it, the creators of this game are traveling in circles by basing a show on a video game, then basing a video game upon that very same show..mind boggling to say the least.
