I think April Fool’s is one of the most important holidays of the 21st century. Hear me out. Many holidays and festivals were once used to remind us of important life lessons necessary to survive in whatever culture they originated from.

New podcast now live with GI rockstar AC Atienza of @CloudfallGames. AC discusses their research on a novel paradigm called "game poetics" - we see this as a marker for a post-ludology/narratology era in game studies: gamesinstitute.libsyn.com/02… @uwaterlooARTS, @uw_english
