In our first Discussion/Analysis video we discuss the topic of adaptation and games, focusing on our current Let's Play of The Golden Compass. We start off with the general topic of adaptation, because one of the greatest difficulties any adaptation has is contending with the expectations of the existing fanbase, and this seems to be amplified with games due to the interactive nature of them, whether going to or from the medium. We go on to discuss some other examples of licensed games and how they succeed or fail, and how this particular game falls in the scope of success/failure as a licensed game. If you're interested in a more in depth look at The Golden Compass as an adaptation, follow the link to my website and you can read the paper I wrote on this game during my Master's program.

These discussion videos will typically take this informal setting, but I will sometimes bring in more detailed evidence and information. When that happens, I'll be sure to include links and/or citations so that you can get access to that information as well.
