The first article about Alan Sepinwall I found very
interesting. I guess the reason it
interested me so much is that he was a fan.
He ran a fan sight and ran it so successfully that he was hired to
continue doing it so successfully. When
I think of critics, I tend to think of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVtVZWzhG_s I mean that is an exaggerated version of course but I think of the thumbs up
and thumbs down type of guys. Not just
some random fan that’s getting annoyed that NBC or Fox (because it’s always one
of them) cancelling their favorite show too early. I guess for whatever reason in my head I
always thought of a critic as a journalist.
Journalists are supposed to be impartial. Shows what happens when you ignore the
critics for a long time as I’ve actually been doing on purpose. Now I’ve read the second article, which makes
me crack up a bit at my own response to the first article. I apparently took the article the exact way
the critics didn’t want someone to take it.
Links I clicked on: http://theweek.com/article/index/239012/the-disturbing-rise-of-sandy-hook-conspiracy-theories
Sadly, people have misinterpreted something that showed up
on Google, combined it with their assessment that the parents of those that
were killed haven’t mourned sad enough.
Now, I’m not shocked because people these days just can’t seem to fathom
that some people are just crazy. So they
have to make it make since and unfortunately, that’s happened with several
tragedies.
Link 2: I clicked on
this from the link above http://theweek.com/article/index/239020/the-daily-gossip-michael-j-fox-doesnt-want-taylor-swift-to-date-his-son-and-more
It’s apparently about the top 5 gossipy things on the
web. I found # 1 and 2 as very
interesting. #1 was what drew me to the
site apparently Michael J. Fox doesn’t want Taylor Swift to date his son. You know this makes perfect sense to me. Womens a man-eater, she has the persona of a
good girl. Very clever she doesn’t dress
provocative therefore she’s a good girl.
But, she’s had how many boyfriends in the past year? Her songs are all about what? I’m just pointing out that in her line of
work a long lasting relationship could be a hindrance.
Also George Takei thought William Shatner was a douche when
they worked together… I’m not
surprised. As ever parody I’ve ever seen
of anything close to Star Trek conveys the captain in that light. It had to come from somewhere.

Billy Blue
I hope that in our presentation of Billy Blue vs. Monster Mammoth most of what we were trying to convey came across. I think it could have been a bit stronger if we’d actually made a sample picture of what an actual level would look like opposed to the characters on a grey screen. But our biggest downfall was probably the audio. We didn’t really explain anything we tried to let it explain itself and that was a bit over zealous of us. If we’d stated that we were using the audio from older games to drive home the nostalgia feel it may have helped. Also Zelda was supposed to enhance the adventure mood. Pacman as a “damn it” type feel and the audio from Acclaims Bigfoot just purely for nostalgia. The game is a tip of the hat to games gone by so that while your playing you remember the games you used to play.
I think we really nailed the Mechanics portion of the project. We laid out exactly what the controls would look like for a cellphone going in depth for each one of the buttons functions and the consequences of being over confident and attacking quickly, or if you let your fear slow you down and attacked to soon.
