Back into the game!
Yeah! I'm back online. After many long months of silence, Ludology.org is back online with a new website. Many things have happened since my last post. I submitted my PhD dissertation (I'll be defending it end of August); Powerful Robot's new game for Cartoon Network reached over 13 million accounts; and I moved back to Uruguay to work on my game studio.
As you'll notice, I moved to a different blogging platform. I was unhappy with the previous one, particularly with the way it dealt with spam, so here we are. The main issue that I still need to resolve is to import back my previous post database into this system (any SQL volunteer out there?) but I figured that it was better to post back than to wait forever.
As of January 2007, I am not affiliated with any University so I'm technically not an academic anymore. My plan is to focus on Powerful Robot but I don't discard giving some lectures or courses here and then. I'm really happy to be back home, there's plenty to do in the studio and we have some really cool projects coming up.
So, enjoy the new blog. It's great to be back into the game after so many months of silence!
Welcome back, missed you much man! :)

Pero qué bien se oyen (o leen) esas noticias anunciadas por ti.
Realmente, me extrañaba mucho que no actualizaras tu antiguo blog (y por alguna misteriosa razón no pude dejarte un mensaje cuando lo intenté, aunque sospecho que fue a causa de mi PC) y me satisface verificar que te hallas trabajando animadamente todavía.
Recibe, pues, mis saludos y mis buenos deseos para tu futura defensa de la tesis.

Hola, te felicito por la defensa de tu tesis ¿podrías darnos más detalles de tu trabajo?. Leí un artículo tuyo en el libro de "The video game theory reader" y me interesa conocer más sobre tus ideas en torno a lúdica/narrativa/discursividad.
¿Tendrás tiempo más adelante
para una conversación vía chat? yo también estoy haciendo mi tesis sobre la construcción discursiva en el Ragnarok y el Second LIfe y estoy segura que me podrás orientar en muchos aspectos.
saludos y gracias de antemano
Magda

I'm very happy with those news. I'm brazilian, working with videogames and critical literacy, and your academic work is very important to me. This site is one of my favourites, too.
I hope you have more time for this blog now. And I hope you put your PhD dissertation on-line as soon is possible.
