A series of posts by a rambling Creative Writing student with delusions of grandeur and a self-importance to post small pieces of THE internet, irrelevant or not, and creative fiction which he has little to no subjectivity on whether or not they're good.

The 10 Things I've Learnt About Video Games This Year
I'm a University Student, but more importantly I'm a creative writing and arts student which implies I am the laziest of the higher learning crowd. So when it comes to being incredibly lazy, video games are a great form of wasting time or more importantly wasting time with friends, but this year I've been watching over myself and learnt a few things about video games. So here are a few things I've learnt about video games in 2010:

Morning Roll Call 12/11
It is morning, it is a beautiful morning and by that I mean, my album has been downloaded a few times. Share it with friends, play it at parties and enjoy that shit.
So enough about me, what's been happening today?

Oh right, that's different if you're American.
Anyway, after a frightening dream last night and a fairly good morning of reading, here we have what we've missed....other than Jessica Alba making my blood boil...

If you're happy and you know it, dance naked in front of your Kinect...Also Zombies

For those of you with a 360 or any kind of gaming console with an attached camera device. Read the fine print, look at how the game functions and do a tiny bit of research before you purchase the game.
I know caveat emptor gets thrown around alot but seriously when stories like this crop up, it's no wonder we have the Darwin Awards.
In zombie news, Nerf Human's vs. Zombies is online, hilarious and awesome AND I cannot suggest this for more campuses and fun days. All you need is some corn syrup, red dye, nerf guns and a bit of extra make-up and you're set.
Now for some good gamer related caught on camera video, here's a classic from 2008;

Afternoon Dump 2/11
Welcome back, hope you had a nice nap.
For all of you out there who aren't in Australia (the 2 out of 10 of my entire readership) It's Melbourne Cup dayand just in the spirit of things I'll probably post the winner whenever that happens, which was mid blogging. Now what has been happening so far today?

Morning Roll Call 2/11
So after seeing The Social Network last night and deciding not to post a review right away, I have had a fairly goodnight sleep. If I did do the review, I probably would have been up all night watching Gerry, which is probably not even worth mentioning because of how little that film even registers on my film blips.
So what'd we miss this morning? Well not much apparently.

Call of Duty draws from the well, for the LULZ

Call of Duty may have sold me on getting their games the only way they know how; Zombies! I'm not a fan of Call of Duty, mainly because I'm not great at the multiplayer, but mainly because it's often over hyped and usually has a terrible fan base. However, one thing that usually sells me is the storyline (which often rips off a movie or two) and the zombies.

Speaking of Star Wars, can you take a light sabre on board a plane? TSA's new iPhone app tells you if you can.

ZOMBIES are incredibly important...
http://www.newsweek.com/blogs/pop-vox/2010/10/27/when-the-zombies-come-i-ll-be-ready.html
With AMC's The Walking Dead airing tonight in the US, Newsweek published a great article about the great zombie uprising which has occurred in the past few years.
Zombies represent an inbuilt fear many people fear, other than death itself, but the fear of masses of people, of crowds and of society itself breaking down. The cannibalistic nature of zombies is the disturbing realisation of humanity coming to terms with eating itself and it's own prejudices. Romero's classic (original) Dead trilogy exemplifies the nature of man on the brink of destruction. Perfectly polarised in the end sequence of Night of the Living Dead (SPOILER ALERT), in which the remaining survivor (a black man, nonetheless, which brings up a whole other subtext) is killed having been mistaken for being undead.
A melancholic end, regardless of whether you're a horror fan, the ending shows the representation of a society accepting its faults, even when it comes down to killing themselves.
