Painted Mario Tote Bags - I'm turning it into a career.

Alright, this post is unrelated to my book (wow, for once); it's something I love to do and it's an idea I may turn into a little job. So, I love art! Painting, drawing all that good stuff - but the form of art I love the absolute most (it's become unhealthy actually, going on strong for about fifteen years; I should see someone about this) is video games! Video games? How could that be art. Well. This is no longer 1985 and even though I love Super Mario Bros. (you'll see how much in the bit, like I mentioned it's at addiction level, haha level. Nope? Okay.) video games since about 2010 have used REAL people and environments. No more jumping on top of flags or onto a button that thwarts a turtle-dragon into a lava pit. No, no. We have beautiful lakes, winds and sands and the flags actually blow and the lava really bubbles, complete with sounds and everything (it's no longer the classic Nintendo orange pixel rectangle). So if your child loves to play games - they're broadening their imagination and their hippocampus! They may also be able to react split-second, because of their newly-developed superhuman hand-eye coordination, which can help when they learn to drive - just make sure they don't learn it from playing Grand Theft Auto!! So before you cross that new Xbox off your boy's list, telling him "no," because it will "fry his brain" or simply that it's 'sold-out this year', look at a new game like Star Wars Battlefront, and tell me it's not like being in the movies. So, because of my ~~passion~~ obsession with video games, I one day decided to paint my tote bag:
This is nostalgic for me, I've been making Mario comic books since ignoring my teachers in first grade. In fact I never listened to my teachers all through high school too. I'm totally making a career out of one of three things: defacing tote bags, creating sketchy comics (in its adjective sense) or flunking college. I think I'll just become an author instead.

Review of the Alienware Graphics Amplifier

Laptop VS Desktop? Have both. What is a "graphics amplifier"? In essence an external GPU you can plug right into your system. Many companies have tried to release these onto the market, but sadly many haven't gotten past announcement phase. Users either resort to painstakingly building custom external graphics cards with components purchased all over the web or simply tossing aside their laptop and building a $10000 gaming PC for their graphics power needs. Both are acceptable, but Alienware and Razor (or any other company to announce one aain) give you another option: a mini-tower outfitted with a build-in PSU and cooling fan for your graphics power needs. Easier and More Flexible Wouldn't it be great to bring your laptop to work, coming back to your home office 2 hours later and gaming away as if it were that $10000 desktop? What a versatile workstation! No stray red, black and yellow cables sticking out of a shoebox or melted GPUs.

Level Design in God of War (Part 1)

Becoming the God of War God of War is one of the most-critically acclaimed franchises to ever hit the Playstation market. In this pipeline deconstruction, I will refer to elements of the series as a whole. Dominus the main character in concept, needed to be summed up in a single word -- wrath . Covered in the ash of his wife and child, the character is a demigod who seeks revenge on the gods who betrayed him. Once the artists stripped away his armor and shield, the character’s true raw, animalistic side was exposed. Tall with upper-body musculature, covered in ashes and hunched over with his signature Blades of Chaos, Dominus was a force to be reckoned with. Dominus set the stage for the today’s Playstation mascot -- Kratos. Level Design Mood and exploration is a staple part of level design in God of War . Areas that are more open are also relatively barren; while many objects are placed around smaller areas like rooms. I think this encourages the player’s sense o
