Mini Game.

I do play games in my spare time. My favorite ones are RIFT and Oblivion. These games both take place in the medieval times. I think that that time period was very interesting, and I like playing out things that take place during that time. I do get a new perspective when playing something like this, and then maybe moving on to some futuristic game. It makes me see how hard things were in old times, and how easy things are in our "future". I am commenting on Logan's blog.

Genres I'm Interested In

The genre I am most interested in, would deffinetly be strategy. I don't have extremely fast internet at my house, so when I want to play something by myself, it's usually a strategy game (or an RPG but that would be too complicated to make). Strategy requires the user to make certain things happen, by using other things to get them done. Such as, getting a higher education so you can get a better job, in return you make more money. That stood out to me because it's realistic, and teaches kids to get an education.

Learning Flash

Today I learned how to make objects move in Flash 2.0. It is not too challenging and I hope we get into how to do more complex things next time we meet.

Single Story

To have a single story means to come from a community that is only know for one thing. People don't know about the other aspects of it.
A single story I have heard about this community is that we all all rednecks. This isn't true however, there may be some, but you cannot define a whole area as one single sterotype.
A single story I may hae heard is that people from southern states are lazy, but this doesn't show any of the work of the hardworking people that live there. All communities have some lazy people and some hard working people.
Maybe having a game about a single story shown from an outside view, then the exact same level shown from the other view. Like if it was a war game, fighting from one side, then fighting from the other side.
