Bibliography and resources

Recently, we have been asked to compile a bibliography, just so we’ll know what to do when we’ll actually have to use them in essays and such. We were initially asked to compile it in one post, but after thinking a bit, I think a better way to do this is, at least for me, is to have a page (hint: the one you’re on) in which I will reference ALL that I’ve used till now, and will keep updating it. I know this might be a little confusing, so don’t worry, as all blog posts will have attached bibliographies (Harvard-style, thanks to Zotero), so you will be able to target specific content, but I think that this is a good idea, and it’s good for me as well, as I will be able to better track my progress throughout the course.

I will also include some resources that I use, be it websites about games, specific forums or just webcomics that I enjoy and that I think are relevant for the course that I am doing.

Thank being said, enjoy and please let me know what you think!
