No, it's not more news about doctored photographs in the newspaper, it's a hella fun game, with a photo twist. I point this out because if you're a multimedia producer and you haven't thought about making games for your newspaper, that's right, games, then you're behind the curve. IMO, they can be very useful in driving traffic, if tied to the right event or story. We did one for our local Grand Prix and damn are they traffic 'drivers.' Anyway, have fun with this one.
Next is a MUST READ for all students.

Oh yeah, the game is fun! And you make a good point. Thanks for passing it on.
In regards to ‘inactive narratives’ (lol)..
I have been swamped with school but once this semester let’s up I will have a great deal of time on my hands..
..and I am more than willing to help produce some tutorials for either interactive narratives or MMS.
I average at least an hour-and-a-half of independent research on multimedia almost everyday (as I’m sure most of us do) and site’s like MMS have inspired me to do more to share that knowledge as much as possible.
I’ll have the pleasure of helping to direct this year’s multimedia team at ADP right after this semester lets out from May 13-19, but afterwards I should have a great deal more free-time on my hands.
I can take requests or just straight-up submit tutorials as I produce them. Just let me know however I can help.
