Published | film Write this topicHistorical Accuracy in Film: How Important is it?This article should focus on viewing films and stories that take place in the past – how accurate are their outfits, props and locations? Obviously this wouldn't apply to full-on fantastical worlds, but stories that are meant to take place in our world like the Rurouni Kenshin films, the Last Samurai and the like could all be considered. It would also be interesting to discuss how important historical accuracy is – although many of the audience may not catch the small details, are they worth putting in regardless?

film Write this topicPacific Rim: The Role of Family in the DriftThis article would discuss the focus that director Guillermo Del Toro placed on the concept of familial bonds and their role in the Drift. The article could also discuss the role of trust and memories that come with the Drift as well as break down the different relationships of Jaeger pilots in the film and additional material. Tales from Day Zero and the art book would be helpful assets as well as the wikia as it includes quotes from Travis Beacham, the film's writer. |
games Write this topicThe Real Life Issues of Gold FarmingGold farming is a phenomenon in massively multiplayer online games where players will sell in-game gold for real life money. Despite being against the rules dictated in most games, this still occurs in almost every game – most gold farmers are actually teens from countries like China and India where they work to barely support their families. This article could discuss the culture behind gold farming from the perspective of Western and Eastern players as well as the evolving human right issues involving it. For the Win by Cory Doctorov and In Real Life by Cory Doctorov and Jen Wang are both sources of inspiration and information that could be used.

Killer Instinct is one of the best along with Skullgirls for getting into the FGC. | Fighting Games: The Depth Behind Their Fundamentals and Community |
I agree with that for sure, but there are plenty of low level tournaments that aren’t aimed towards the technical pros. Although some of the most interesting things is watching technically masterful players go at it.. | Fighting Games: The Depth Behind Their Fundamentals and Community |
That makes sense. Once we get that muscle memory, it becomes second nature. | Fighting Games: The Depth Behind Their Fundamentals and Community |
They’re definitely a bit of a physical boundary, I can’t deny that, but I think that understanding how the game works makes it easier to learn the physical commands. | Fighting Games: The Depth Behind Their Fundamentals and Community |
The Touhou fighters are great fun, but play very differently from your “standard” fighters – they focus heavily on zoning because of the shmup nature of the source material. | Fighting Games: The Depth Behind Their Fundamentals and Community |
I can’t agree more! I’m a big fan of Skullgirls myself! | Fighting Games: The Depth Behind Their Fundamentals and Community |
This was a really great article that covered some of the best points in SH2. Guy Cihi, the actor for James, did a nice interview with the Super Best Friends and they did a really in-depth discussion on their playthrough. Highly recommend people check it out! | Silent Hill 2: A Pinnacle in Gaming Symbolism |
Interesting article – I don’t know if I agree with much of it, but it’s good to see things from another perspective.
