Practicum #6 - Michael Hayford

So recently I've noticed that there hasn't been a whole lot of activity going on in terms of blog posts. I found this strange because for a while there was a flood of people who wanted information about the game as well as just wanting to talk strategy and share tips and pointers. While this seems to be slowing down the community I'm hoping that it doesn't spell the end for it.

Something interesting that I found via the website is an offline game that you can download and play against computer players. So far the game seems to follow all the rules, or at least the rules that I play by. This is great because while the overall community is starting to become more accepting, this game can allow those who know almost nothing about it to learn and get better before confronting people about tips and gameplay. More so, this allows people to get their feet wet before they jump online and play with other people.

While there hasn't been much in terms of posts on the blog, what is being talked about is the Osama Bin Laden incident. While this by no means is a political blog, it's interesting to get the perspectives of people all over the globe. People from many countries in Europe have posted their feelings about it and I think it's great that people are coming together to express their opinions and chat about what they think is going to happen next.
