 2025\n\nApril 25\, 2 PM Lam Sq near Q&i in Rush Rhees\n\n \n\nDescription 
 -- For as revolutionary as the written word and moving pictures have been 
 in our ability to communicate and tell stories\, they are not the final 
 frontier of storytelling. Video games present an opportunity to grow our 
 artistic and narrative abilities beyond passive means\, by bringing the 
 audience into the story itself. To highlight some of the ways video games 
 are breaking boundaries in storytelling\, we'll play The Stanley Parable\, 
 a single player\, indie\, narrative-driven game about an office worker and 
 his Narrator. Together\, we'll discuss how video games are different 
 storytellers\, how those stories connect with audiences\, and if\, as Jane 
 McGonigal says\, "video games can make a better world".\n
