Type:Rider, an adventurous colon.

I posted the second video of the second level of Type:Rider. I learned even more about the history of typography and writing. It’s insane how much a game can teach me that my English classes in high school failed to cover because of curriculum. Oh how I hated standardized testing.

Watch the video here.

The second level was the Gothic level. As it did in the first level, the art in the background just amazes me as I jumped around as the colon. I’m a huge fan of history, literature, and art. Ironic part is I am taking a Humanities class that encompasses all of that. I even used my first video as a reference for a discussion post. Video games and education! WOO!

Type:Rider is a game developed by Ex Nihilo and published by BulkyPix and Plug In Digital. It’s a brilliant indie game that I hope my videos spread that awesomeness to other possible gamers.

I’ll play it through till the end.

Remember to keep writing, keep reading, and keep gaming!

(YouTube) First writing game is up! Type:Rider #1

Uploaded my first Let’s Play! It’s the game Type:Rider which tells the history of writing over the years with different cultures.

The game is fun so far. Loads of reading, so hope you enjoy my terrible reading out loud skills!

The Real History of Science Fiction: Robots

BBC America’s Real History of Science Fiction has blown my mind in the first part about robots. To think there is three more episodes of it is amazing. For any sci-fi writers or lovers, like myself in both cases, I highly recommend it. It is inspiring to see directors, screenwriters, authors, and actors who all love science fiction.
The first part, being about robots, transitioned from robot servants to humanity’s possible enslavement by robots. I loved hearing the unique perspectives of the people on the show, and I especially loved the recordings of Isaac Asimov.
I really recommend this miniseries to anyone who can watch it who loves history, science fiction, or even perhaps Mark Gatiss as the narrator.
