charlesfwh

“Fashion, I’ll readily admit, a notion outside my usual repertoire of skills in life. Call it a gender impasse, I do very much embody the notion of a man who likes his clothes comfortable and practical above all else regardless of seasons and styles. If a T-shirt is cool, it’s cool for a year or a decade, fashion for me is very much timeless” Continue reading 30 Day Challenge Day Twenty Nine: You’re an anime/cartoon character now!

Video Game Literary Classics: The Legend of Zelda – Ocarina of Time

Around The Bonfire

“Equally, beyond the narrative structure, a great deal of praise is quite rightfully directed towards this game for the portrayal of the human condition, a somewhat vague notion but one in this context that relates to the various stages of the human existence in terms of growth, mortality, emotionality and conflict amongst others. From the opening moments of the game you find yourself as a child, protected by the confines and restrictions of the forest, who through circumstance and legend finds himself on a journey beyond the confines of anything he has known, to the world out there and the many dangers and challenges that present themselves.” Continue reading Video Game Literary Classics: The Legend of Zelda – Ocarina of Time

Exploring the Elements: Water

Around The Bonfire

“Games such as Endless Ocean allude to that sensation and present a world or environment where you can envision and even imagine that feeling but no game has come anywhere close to that feeling when you submerge and feel that sense of freedom and tension evaporating beneath the surface. Instead, whether intentionally or not, modern games have instead opted to focus on the grandeur of the vision and environment.” Continue reading Exploring the Elements: Water

Video Games: Design/Play/Disrupt – Part One: Concept Art and Development

Around The Bonfire

“Once derided and overlooked, as an art form, digital design and development has evolved in a remarkably condensed period from it’s humbling beginnings to its current iteration. Arguably, subjectively the video game industry has reached somewhat of a zenith pertaining to graphical portrayal in its presentation with the cost in pursuit of a higher graphical image suffering from arguable diminishing returns.” Continue reading Video Games: Design/Play/Disrupt – Part One: Concept Art and Development
