I didn’t become interested in comics until I was -taught- comics. For some reason, as a viable form of medium, I began to take interest in them — huge interest. I’ve currently been writing reviews, and working on a script myself. I have also considered applying to a PhD program at the University of Florida with a specialization in Visual Rhetoric and Comics. A university in my state (West Virginia) has one of the “pioneering” graphic novel majors, in which students specialize in art and storytelling to create comics; it’s truly blown up recently. | Comics Without Superheroes: The Literary Value of Graphic Novels |
I second this. Outside of not purchasing a Nintendo, there really isn’t any reason to avoid Zelda games. The story lines aren’t really linear, so picking you don’t necessarily need to play all of them to catch on! With that being said, however, I would urge you to start with the Orcarina of Time. It really set the standard on N64 at the time, and it’s replayability is very high, even to today’s standards. It’s truly an amazing game! | Hyrule Warriors Review: A Bright Future for Zelda |
I would maybe go as far to say that “hardcore” gamers want FPS games, but I think there is still a market for collectathon games. Nostalgia is a powerful, powerful marketing techniques; maybe it just has yet to be found? Of course you would need a new to way approach these games. | The Nintendo Collectathon: A Genre of the Past |
Would you argue for/against achievements being the modern day “collectathon” feature? I know many people (myself excluded, however) that play and replay videos games simply to unlock achievements. | The Nintendo Collectathon: A Genre of the Past |
I would like to see a similar topic such as this expanded on, but instead focus on the looks of the princesses. I always thought it was interesting how Disney changed or made princesses look “colonized” — for example, Pocahontas isn’t native american — she’s a hybrid of races.
