I'm teaching a game design and social coding course this term and this student came up to me afterwards and said: "Word on the street is you played MapleStory👀" I couldn't stop laughing. I love the students this term.

Tearing up as I am making the final slides for my course "Where Game Design Meets Culture: A Critical Dive Into Video Games." Here's my final slide of most of the academics, game devs, characters, and more, that we learned with throughout the course. Can you name all of them ;)?
