Elizabeth Lane Lawley, RIT Lab for Social Computing "Games Without Borders: Gaming Beyond Consoles and Screens

Lots of technical difficulties. Elizabeth was good humored if frustrated and showed non computer games
  • Reverse Scavenger Hunt
  • Cruel 2 B Kind
  • Passively Multiplayer Online Games
  • Yu-Gi-Oh & Pokemon tournaments
