HMMM.... ARG's

Questions/ Comments/ Concerns...

I think Craig might have asked us to read the article from wikipedia about ARG's, because he really wanted us to think about our world around us. Also he had also said we should think about whether we were in one right now in class, which goes along with my theory of thinking about our world around us. Thinking about that question makes me real confused. It really makes you think about if your in a game on what you think is an average day. I don't quite understand what an ARG is, just the fact that it is a game using real people in real time, to tell a story that is affected by the actions and responses of the players and characters. I guess I don't understand how it really works. How does the designer know what will happen? When it will happen? Does an ARG's story form by the way the characters make it? Can an ARG be obvious, or are you always unable to recognize your in one? How could your form your own ARG? Those are just the few of many questions that come to mind at the moment while I work on this assignment.
