Stardust Speedway 052 - First Draft (Personal Reflections)

Well; the last meeting for my Dissertation is coming up very quickly; I thought I would reflect about the project at the moment and what I thought of my First Draft now I have had time to read through it.

The first thing which automatically comes to mind is how my project has evolved since the beggining of the entire thing. When I went back to looking at the first post on the blog; I wanted to look exclusively at both Sonic The Hedgehog within the Social System of Capitalism after I examined the basic gameplay elements of Sonic for a few weeks. But after the first wave of research; it came to me that there should be an secondary viewpoint to compare and contrast Capitalism and this would end up being communism; and the same thing again a few weeks ago with the inclusion of Individualism.

New topics brought new games to the project; in the form of two of my favourite games (No More Heroes and We Love Katamari/Katamari Damacy); it might have been biased to write about two of my favourite games, but as I knew a lot about the products playing them both to destruction; it was a good choice. I did the same with my Research Paper about Resident Evil within the Survival Horror Genre; and I had chance to play some great games once again (CODE: Veronica being one of the better examples).

All these changes lead to the final Essay layout and that in turn gave the First Draft. Now after having chance to read through it; I already have a list of changes which I want to do ranging from Spelling Mistake and Grammar to re-writing a small section of the paper all together; but I am proud of my work and for a First Attempt at this; I think I did well.

I am looking forward to seeing what my tutor thinks of it; but also scarred at the same time because I think there might be something obvious in there which I have missed; but we shall see.
