Here I am, up to my eyeballs in new media methods, have some of the best software installed, even tried to use a service that supposedly can do it all for me with a simple click of the button (anyone … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Rather appropriate I guess, that in the midst of my waffling about story beyond the opening paragraph, I am in fact about to publish an unfinished narrative, the story of my introduction to and progress through new media research and … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Progressing ever so slowly through the streets of Silent Hill, armed and ready, now healthy and fit.  Thought my destination was the Park, but not too much there except a little story clue, some ammo and health drinks, and oh … Continue reading → Continue reading →

I think I’ll be having quite  a bit of fun with this one, but it’s quite complicated and looks more the long-term steady diversion, unlike adventure games such as Silent Hill 2.  Not adventure perhaps, compared to Half-Life for example; … Continue reading → Continue reading →
