Once Upon A Time

Hello Everyone,

For this weeks journal entry I chose "Once Upon A Time". Now with this one, it was a fill in the blank story. So I wrote a story and I am going to tell you it. Now the bold words are the ones that were already written down.

There was a Tau commander named Farsight. Every day he travels farther and farther into space to find new territories and planets for his enclaves. One day he land on a strange new world. On this new planet he finds a portal and decides to travel through it. Because of that he becomes lost as the portal closes behind him and needs to find his way back. Until finally... well I wrote the ending but I don't think I should share that and there is a reason why.

In class we were instructed to conceive a narrative within a digital environment and early we were separated into four groups based on four of the larger forms of social media: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat. I am in the Twitter group. So based on the assignment, I was going to write a story that requires followers of my Twitter to take part in. So the story will follow Commander Farsight as he travels through the new world he has found. Now the followers with vote on a poll on what the next steps in the story is. So for example, if there is a road ahead of Farsight, the poll would be does he go left or right? I am going to try and not make it that basic but that is the idea of what is going to happen.

So after reading this and you would like to help find out the fate of Commander Farsight, please follow my Twitter @IronCityGaming and stay tuned as I would like to start this very soon!

Watching

Hello Everyone, This week in class we are talking about location based narratives. A location based narrative is a narrative that uses a certain location to help tell a story and engage the viewers. So our assignment is to create a location based narrative. To help come up with an idea for this assignment, I turned to the weekly journal post which I chose sit/stand/document the same spot each day for a week. The spot I chose was the main lobby of the Living Learning Center (LLC). I documented this spot each day when heading to class or to lunch in the LLC café around the same time. I will break it down by a list below. Monday: I was heading to class and saw 3 people. Two were heading to the resident side of the LLC and one was going to the café. Tuesday: I was heading to lunch in the LLC. I didn't see anybody in the lobby when passing through. Wednesday: I was heading to class and saw 3 people standing over the news papers and 2 people were walking into the building. Thursda...

Being Boring

Hello Everyone, This week the journal entry I chose was "Describe what I do in six words". This prompt took me a bit to think about because it made me think well what do I really do on a day to day basis. As a college student I do my studying but then what else? I play video games, watch movies, hang out with friends, etc, but when I reflect on it, I came up with what I do in six words... I am a boring college student. I think there is something to say about being boring. I enjoy the simple things in life, I just like to sit back and watch what is happening, that is not to say that I won't chase what I want but I'm not one to go and have a wild time out. I like sitting in my room with my friends and just talking and bs'ing the night away. I'll go out and have fun with them, but we don't go looking for fun, we just go have it. I think boring can be a good thing to be, I get my work done, I can manage my time affectively, and I can still have a great life....

Inspiration Family Tree

Hello Everyone, This week's journal entry is to develop a family tree of narratives or social media accounts that influence you. Well after thought, I narrowed my two main inspirations for social media. The first one would be the Warhammer 40k subreddit. Reddit in general is an online community where there are different pages for different groups or interests, that people can post about those interests. These different smaller pages are called subreddits. The Warhammer 40k subreddit is a group about the hoby of 40k that players and hobbyist alike can come and post questions about the game, pictures about the models they are painting, and many other topics within the hobby. What inspires me about this social media account is the sense of community within the group. Each person is there for a reason, and we all want to see each others accomplishments and the battle reports(games) that we all played. The overall feel of the subreddit is serious in the fact that we are all there to ta...
