You are a 17yr old old farmer peasant living in a beautiful, but pre-industrialized nation. You're living just outside of your nation's capital city and have hopes of attending college there, but are currently helping your family with the farm. Although the nation in which you live is not particularly wealthy, there is a good distribution of resources for all and very little economic Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02087849916211397142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977857.post-1079031221686031292004-03-11T10:53:00.000-08:002004-03-11T15:22:17.140-08:00Jason Lohse
BECA 670: Stormchasers RPG
High Concept:
In September of 1955, Hurricane Janet was the tenth hurricane to strike the Atlantic that season. Navy Lieutenant Commander Grover B. Windham and his crew of eight flew out of Guantanamo Bay Cuba, and into Hurricane Janet on a weather reconnaissance mission. A mission that would be their last. In this RPG however, you and your crew will get aJasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02087849916211397142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977857.post-1078359315951664102004-03-03T15:57:00.000-08:002004-03-11T10:18:43.450-08:00Jason Lohse
BECA 670: Game Analysis Presentation Outline
Genre:
• The genre of game I’ll be exploring is known as RPG or role playing game. As our text points out, the two most basic elements of RPG’s are “configurable player-characters that improve with experience (and) strong storylines.”P.347
• What is roleplaying and issues associated.
• The player plays a role in the story with the player’s Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02087849916211397142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977857.post-1077594755673534892004-02-23T19:52:00.000-08:002004-03-04T13:51:52.483-08:00What makes us think that video games are impacting the practice of visual art?
The first thing you saw when entering the game exhibit at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts was a giant billboard with various imfamous real life historical images recreated in game style graphics. The effect this had on me was basically homogenizing social, political, historical and cultural events into an almost Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02087849916211397142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977857.post-1077213836446138612004-02-19T09:50:00.000-08:002004-02-19T10:08:24.263-08:00Lastly I went to SFSU's Department of Physics and Astronomy. This site offers the standard faculty, courses, events, research, facilities... The two links I'm drawn toward immediatly are research and events. If you enjoy space blather as much as I do, there's a series of lectures coming up with their scheduled dates and times. And they offer refreshments! Classy. Interesting ones include the huntJasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02087849916211397142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977857.post-1077212939685219562004-02-19T09:37:00.000-08:002004-02-19T09:52:31.936-08:00The fourth site I like is the SFSU Fine Arts Gallery. You can check out current and past selected exhibits as well as info about the arts department and the college of creative arts. One of the current pieces is called White Collar and features a graphics book you can scroll through (the medium is actually called linocuts). There's 128 pages to this. A lot of work and very important subject Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02087849916211397142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977857.post-1077212116902824382004-02-19T09:31:00.000-08:002004-02-19T09:37:57.750-08:00Grumble. This sucks. I just checked out my links to make sure they're all working properly, and discovered that several of the sites I went to are embedded within the CIA site without having different urls of their own. Not sure what to do about this. Yep, I'll be asking about this little issue in class...Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02087849916211397142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977857.post-1077211876252739672004-02-19T09:25:00.000-08:002004-02-19T09:33:57.140-08:00Ok, one really cool site I found was a student site through CIA (I promise I 'll go elsewhere) called The Wisdom of Wonka. It's premise is whether Wonka could in fact hold many of the secrets to life, and how this wisdom is available partially through the lessons learned from four very naughty children. Click on the kids and see. It's a pretty basic site, but it's oh so cute and a treat for Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02087849916211397142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977857.post-1077210988204056482004-02-19T08:58:00.000-08:002004-02-19T09:39:50.280-08:00The second site I really liked was Paula Levine's, who's the Ast.Prof. and Acting Director of CIA. She's also got links similar to Steven Wilson listed as current projects, essays, teaching and videos. She also offers an interactive game she designed called Blotto!, which allows you to choose your gender and religion, and then gives you a series of ink blot tests. I'm not sure where it goes from Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02087849916211397142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977857.post-1077209874411076092004-02-19T08:35:00.000-08:002004-02-19T09:00:34.903-08:00The first place I went to with this assignment was to the CIA (Conceptual Information Arts) department on campus. I first began checking them out last fall when I was looking into other options such as minors or second majors here at state.
I tried checking out many of the student projects, but unfortunately none of them were able to come up. This really sucks because there's so many students Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02087849916211397142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977857.post-1076573561841724722004-02-12T00:00:00.000-08:002004-03-04T14:01:02.233-08:00In need of a little humor? Or are you far more concerned with such pressing matters as to what the Illuminati and sexbots are up to these days, and how they'll be transmitting their perverted effluvium to the masses on this most sacred of Saturdays; Valentines Day?!

Ok, I know I said that Sapphosbreathing was my favorite, but for the record I'd also like to state that Crookedtimber just so happens to be my favorite too. It's very formally laid out, erm, layed out, not only who the poster is, but who the posters are collectively, as well as guest posters.

At first I thought 'this blog is cool because the poster really, I mean really, includes their own thoughts instead of some commentary here and there, while the rest of the post is from another source.' Boy was I wrong. Er, at least as I can tell. Honestly, I don't know. Every blog site I've checked out so far has had the name of the person writing it at the bottom (or rarely top) of the Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02087849916211397142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977857.post-1076569093816065542004-02-11T22:45:00.000-08:002004-02-12T14:55:10.903-08:00Blog #3
This site contains lots of commentary about ethnicity, racism, reparations, the current administration, right wing politics and organized religion, and 'non-traditional' historical perspectives. This barely touches it, but I really appreciate the broad topics here where inclusiveness of perspectives is not. That's ok though. This is a treasure trove of not only progressive thought, but Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02087849916211397142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977857.post-1076568138765406322004-02-11T22:13:00.000-08:002004-02-12T14:56:14.686-08:00Blog #2
The first entry I read was a brief snipet of Ezra Pound. Though I still haven't read Pound, following this was some commentary by Brian Leiter about the philosophy of ignorance as it applies to his reflections as a six month old blogger. Even though essentially none of this entry was written by Cleis (the poster), I really appreciate her connections here with another Leiter commentary Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02087849916211397142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977857.post-1076482527842958862004-02-10T22:20:00.000-08:002004-02-12T15:02:23.746-08:00My five nifty blogs without linked words unless of course I can figure it out before posting blog five, or should I say 'blog post five', which sounds like a perfect tangent to comment on about a new bbc sci-fi adventure blog...but I digress...given the day that I now have to do this because up until now I wasn't able to retrieve my login info from last fall and finding this now, have decided to Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02087849916211397142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977857.post-1076479701298696112004-02-10T22:03:00.000-08:002004-02-10T22:10:50.793-08:00Stay tuned?!

The overall wierdness and controversy surrounding quantum mechanic equations is what these calculations imply about reality; that what happens is really just a series of probabilities, and that at any given time, one probability is just as likey (or probable) as Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02087849916211397142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977857.post-1066928441775100862003-10-23T10:00:00.000-07:002004-02-12T15:08:38.543-08:00OK, so for those of you who might be asking why the hell my blog site is titled Blogdor!...
1) It's a play on words from this character called Trogdor! that can be found through the jocular website homestarrunner in this email of Strongbad's.
and remember to crank up the volume on this one!
2) It's also a play on the word blog. duh.
