LEEEEEEEETS PLAY!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let's Plays are something that I have been watching for a long time now and I think I know what measures the success of a "Let's Play-er."I think the first thing you need is a good commentating voice. You need to ask yourself, Do people want to listen to me ramble the entire time I play this game? The next thing is knowledge about the video game being played. Some people may tune in only to see how to beat a certain level. And the last and most important is entertainment! The commentator should be loud and not run out of things to talk about.

Think You Know My Avatar?

            This is Brett. Brett was born on the planet Orex 38 where his mother abandoned him. Brett is the only living being on his home planet of Orex 38. Before abandoning him, his mother left him a note stating that his father is on the planet earth.

            Using Brett’s special abilities of telekinesis and being able to breathe without oxygen, he must find a way to get to earth. The problem is that he’s a million light years away. The space ship that brought him to Orex 38 is broken down and he must find a way to fix it.

            On Brett’s amazing journey back home he encounters life-changing things. He meets other martians from neighboring planets and the value of friendship starts to mean something to him. This game is for ages 8-13 and you might find a character like this in a science fiction and puzzle video game.

           

            This is Hansel Young. As a descendent from the Young family, he has big shoes to fill. His grandfather was known as one of the greatest ninjas of all time. His three brothers train everyday to fill those shoes but Hansel does not. Hansel prefers to do other things with his time but he is not sure of what he wants to do with his life. After being fed up with his family he runs away to find himself.

            Along the way he meets a group of ninjas who take him in. He soon finds out that being a ninja comes naturally to him and he’s not just good, he’s a prodigy. Hansel and the group of ninjas go on a journey to the mountains to defeat the dragon that keeps the town horrified to leave.

            Hansel learns from his ninja friends and ultimately finds out what is best for him. The age of the audience for this game would be 12-17. The genre of this game would be fighting and fantasy.

            This is Jamal Williams. As an African American during the early 19^th America, he has a hard time of gaining respect of his peers. A mysterious man comes to the cotton field he works in and buys his freedom. The mysterious man leaves him to journey on his own.

            Jamal does what any slave would do if they were set free, he goes shopping! He buys some pimped out clothes and an awesome pair of shades. With this he goes out and starts a prostitution business. During his rein as pimp of the prostitution ring, you must defeat all of his encounters with authorities across the red, white and blue.

            During gameplay, you will find that the reason for Jamal’s freedom was no coincidence. This game is directed toward people the age of 17 or older. This game is a western third person shooter.

Chi-town: A Photo Documentary

Two mini sagas

Write two fifty-word mini-sagas. The origins of the saga comes from Icelandic prose dating back to the 12th century when locals would recount their warrior battles. Today, a saga is referred to as a modern heroic narrative.
Your mini-saga should have 50 words. No more, no less. The stories must have a beginning, middle and end. They must be interesting, and they may not be autobiographical. Engage the reader. 

Randy, hippie, business student, never understood his place. He loved his planet more than his people. His passion for the earth grew with every step he took away from it. Randy took it upon himself to save the earth from pollution and rot. That is why brave, young Randy recycles.

At the party on the corner of shady and suspicion, Alex notices a strange interaction. He hears the word “no” being said frequently. He sees discomfort in the woman’s eyes. The man insists. Alex reacts in the only way logical. “Take a hint. If she says no leave her alone.”  

Collapsus

            For this creative project I watched and played the interactive story Collapsus. Collapsus is about energy crises that caused the government to shorthand its people and start a revolutionary movement for the entire world. My interactive experience was quite fun, I must say. At the beginning I was a little confused about why Tina Fey was talking to the camera, is she talking to me? About halfway through the story I finally realized that she was video logging to an audience online. This way of communication and reporting has become largely popular around the world and what a better time to do it than during a civil war (more views on YouTube). The story followed several different characters from around the world to fully capture the intensity that is the end of the world, as we know it. The interactive part involved listening in on private conversations, knocking over a guy tied to a chair, etc. I wasn’t extremely impressed with the interactions because they distracted me from the story more than they helped me follow it. But that might just be me; I haven’t taken my medication yet today. I was extremely impressed by the quality of the audio, though. During some of the scenes it was so clear that I felt like the voices were coming from the guy sitting next to me in the library.

            The story overall was amazing, I loved that video logging played a huge part in it. I think this helped show that this kind of thing can happen to us too because its such a modern way of reporting. And the actors did an incredible job of not being cheesy. I got worried for a little at the beginning that they might be. The reason I liked this interactive story so much is because it combined so many elements in media. It had animation, film, audio, and gaming. Collapsus is one of the most creative projects I’ve ever seen. I could tell that a lot of talented people worked on this while I was embarking on its exciting story.
