Playing Along -- now in print!


I've been so busy with the new semester that I failed to announce my own book launch! Playing Along: Digital Games, YouTube, and Virtual Performance was published earlier this month by Oxford University Press. Here's the official publisher page and the Amazon page (available for Kindle!). The awesome cover design is by Benjamin Shaykin.

Hi Kiri,

your blog is so interesting.

About the "playing along", I have something interesting to signal. A new dimension seems to come out in the market. It's a new breed of interactive experiences, this time happening between TV and the second screen. Take a look to this brand new interactive music show for TV, just announced in april this year, a mix of social gaming-collective intelligence and Guitar Hero in augmented reality. The result is stunning, a great entertainment experience.
The show is called "Sound Democracy" and we will see soon where will be aired.

Here the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pm2mFYZs1W4

Cheers!
