Each of us in my class had a one-to-one talk with Daniel to talk about the research essay. I initially wanted to go for the topic ‘Story is dead’ and write an essay either to support or attack the idea. I thought it would be easy since story is alive in my opinion. For example, when the interaction between the characters in the story and the audience occurs, like when I can relate myself to the character, it makes the story feels alive. But it was harder than imagined, trying to find appropriate scholarly articles to oppose the idea or even articles that are related to the topic. Conclusion, I gave up.

Trying to figure out which to write about, music or relevancy of agency to games, I have no idea. I did research on both topics and I couldn’t come up with a conclusion. It’s due on 10 April, but I still haven’t got it started. I am so dead.
