My memory of game

Before entering elementary school, I often went to the public game space. In the place, I firstly met 'Street Fighter'. It was wonderful and attracted me much. I falled in loved with it.

From that time, I ususally went there. It was my playground. I met new friends that time. But many time, what I did was just watching what people are playing. Because I wasn't in good economic positions. I was just kid.

What I remember now is that, my little crime.  I stared to steal my old syster's saved coin and went to play game. I was scared so much. But, I thought that it will be fine because what I got wasn't that big for a day. Nobody found that. But, I continued it. 

Oneday, I felt something is going wrong. She figured out it and told mother. I ran away. Still now, I cannot remember what happend next day. At that time, my father was like god. I really scared him. He knew it? I don't know. 

For me game was half of my life. I growed up with game. And I miss that time.

Inventing Creatures: future of AI ( artificial Inteligance)

We watched Terminator and all these movies about robots & human-beings. Am happy to say that to a limit we have alreay started to invesnt and develope creatures ( artifial Inteligaent machines also known as AI) in that direction though they might not erase the human-race like the hollywod movies. 

  Believe me, when I watched this video; i felt strange because being human-being we pray to god and believe that he is the all mighty and the creater of all the living creatures. But never felt as if in the near future and in the present we the human-beings would be able to have a control on it.

Watch it out;unmissable

Large Hydron Collider: What Is It

hi guys,...most probably everybody knows about THE Large Hyrdon Collider; which the largest machine in the world; and the most significant invention in till now. Now we will be able to go below the proton,neutrons & electros and more. we would get answers about the dark matter and other mysterious question like why are we here and ll these...

   Although the experiment has begun; but before it people feared a lotal destruction of the earth due to the formation of black hole due to the collision od molecules at light speed.Specially in India a girl commicommitted suicide as she was scared of the total devastation of world!!!!

Star Craft / War Craft, Comandos and My Brother

Season greetings to everyone!
I hope you have a playful vacation! ^^

I started playing Star Craft, War Craft and Comandos when I was 12-13.
My impression for Star Craft / War Craft is that the free fighting mode is more interesting than the "Mission" mode.
It's so cool whenever there's an upgrade and we can upgrade more in free mode.
My brother disagrees with me. He thinks that I play Star Craft / War Craft "like a girl", well... I am! He told me that we are fighting, not building our troops all fabulous. He doesn't care much for upgrading but more for completing the missions. How can one succeed if he/ she doesn't have a strong army with well equiped troops? >.<
By the way, to me, Star Craft and War Craft are the same. I understand arguments saying they are different but I don't see much.

As for Comandos, we don't have lots of upgrading but the strategies for each scene are different. Again, my brother complains to me how I want to keep everyone safe and sound, no blood loss, just like "mom takes care of us". Sometimes due to this reason I cannot accomplish a mission. I sometimes wish we have only timed bombs so that we don't have to drag our soldiers out into the field. It's also very scary to sneak behind someone to stab with a knife because the enemy is just so close... Anyhow, for my brother, he doesn't care who dies (in the game), he cares about the mission. Ugh! How can he be so ignorant?!? >.<

What interests me is that players behave different when playing games according to their gender. Do you agree?
I play differently from my brother because I am female and he is male?
What do you think?

Kingdom Hearts

This game is awesome. This is the first game I bought when I just came Japan. Kingdom Hearts attracts me with a lot of cool features in a story with smoothly beautiful graphic. Everybody knows that Kingdom Hearts is great, largely because it offers an awesome new world of Disney, captures the spirit both of Square and Disney in a single game. Characters from both universes collide in an epic story that soon launched a sequel that made an even bigger success. The detailed facial expressions of all anime styled characters are outstanding. The way they look at each other, anger, love, confusion all look really good with the voice acting. I especially love the scenery in the Disney worlds, at Hollow Bastion and at The End of the World. They are just very romantic and very beautiful. Well, the game is pretty hard to me but it just made me want to get further, not a trace of boring. I have not played games for a long time. This kind of memory makes me really want to go back to the game life, at least today, the first day of the break

What about you?

Not a lot of people subscribed for this blog at the moment, but I hope we still can have an interesting conversation.

I just would like to know what are the video games you recently bought, or you are actually playing to without necessarily buying it... (!!), and what are your opinion about it, if you advice us to buy it or not!

Thank you!!! :D

Personally, I am still a Sims addict... I found no game better than this one at the moment! :p (Sims 3 is coming in 2009, right?)

This is a video which might change the way we look at creativity...it also relates to what Prof.Mantello speaks of...creativity is being suppressed and and most of us ( specially APM students like me)  tend to be part of the rat-race( for more about it; read Rich Dad Poor Dad: reccomended)...just watch this video....again from the vault of Ted talks...

enjoy learning...!!!

Declaring the Rights of Players

Much like Raph Koster, as admin I want to encourage freedom of expression of all avatars; however, it's also important to know that this community exists in the spirit of an exploration of academic ideas. I want it to be an unoffensive space of sharing and exchange of creative thoughts and issues. Moreover, I would like to invite other academics to this site for further pedagogical examination and analysis...as such please refrain from the usage of extreme vocabulary.
