week 1
Who's writing, and how do you perceive them to be? Does blogging strike you as objective or more personal? How often do they write, what do they write about? How do you see yourself using a blog? Do you feel comfortable writing for an invisible audience for example?
After reading the blog My Brain Is Leaking by John A i have managed to conclude that the guy has an iteresting take on gaming, and has a distinct idea of how a game should be. In one of the posts he was touching on the fact that a game should stick to a certain genre, and wrote about how the matrix should not have included driving levels, yet i disagree. The matrix is renowned for "Bullet time" which we all know is where time goes really really slow and some guy can dodge bullets, yet just because its renowned for this it does not mean thats all that makes the story up. The matrix films had much going on it was supposidly set in the future, every where you look there was objects and environments designed to give a certain atmosphere to add impact to the scene. basicly what im trying to say i dont think that matrix was made famous by bullet time alone, and by encorperating things like car chases into the game it allows the audience to get a better picture of what that atmosphere is like, using this to make a bigger picture of the world in their head.
I think blogging for me is more an objective as i dont particularly enjoy writing, nor am i very good at it, i do how every enjoy gaming, this allows me to still have a personal edge to my writing. i think that with writing, you dont have the added aid of expressions that you do with speaking, this means you write more than you would usually say, but this means that you need to explain things and thus becomes personal. you also need to make writing personal to keep it interesting, otherwise if its not interesting whats the point writing if nobody will ever read it.
i dont think John A has a particular schedule of when he write, he did however say in one post how he had not posted anything for 3 months , this goes back to the last question ,John seems to use his blog to complete objectives, yet at the same time his style of writing is personal and very interesting, with references to cartoons and games. As i wrote in the answer to question one (about enter the matrix), john uses his blog to note down his comments and thoughts on games and games culture, as well as adding humour to keep the reader interested.
I think i will end up using this blog as a diary of my thoughts , ideas and concepts, i will also use it to boast about my various gaming acheivments and moan about how the ps3 will eat up all of my student loan (*munch*).
i do feel comfortable writing to an "invisable audience" to me its exactly the same as writing in a diary, yet this will be kind of like a photo album of words and well photos i guess. Atleast i know that the people reading my blog will have similar intrests as me and therefore more likely to know what im on about.
Sorry this is late im a bit slow when it comes to learning new things....like how to write
