After reading this assignment, the only thing that came to my mind, was an episode of the Simpsons, were Bart and Marge become addicted to a MMORPG that looks like Everquest... anyhow! When i watch the show i will be what Bart chose to be, it was a black knight character super powerful and he was controlling and overpowering the fantastic world. However i do not play those type of games but if i ever decide to do it. I think it will be Everquest II, the reason is because seems to be more friendly and easy to play, however, the title sound that there is no end to the game and it will be an eternal quest to whatever i questing for, uggh! About what character i will be... an Erudite. Yeah! Personally, I believe that knowledge can defeat anything and as the site describes this character “Their culture is centered upon the accumulation of arcane knowledge and mystical power” and that looks more like a human and i love the fact that you can be a good or bad depending on the port that is being played. I though the character will have the power of knowledge and if in class i set her as a Shadowknight other players will fear me lol. I totally know that my character will be so aggressive and killer and most of all intelligent that i will beat anyone there and my character's personality will be like a fusion Hitler, Mussolini, Napoleon, Quetzalcoatl and Franco intelligence, power and strength. Although is sad that i can create a character that looks like me just so i feel like is my daughter hahahaha or even myself being the powerful one! The name will be Fungux because that's my nickname and i think is really cool name.
Avatars and me! I will not make any statement about second life video games, but if i ever decide to have one avatar will look just like me. However, the lifestyle will be so different from the one in the real world, i think it will allow me to fulfill all my fantasies lol. Creating a character that represent me just the way i am allow me to be more sincere and honest about my character.
Certainly i have not given a lot of thought to my research paper and many ideas can be draw from my game. However i will be interested in approach the game in social perspective. I will try to analyse what themes are presented in the games such as globalization and the sense of community. On the other hand i will try to understand the role of players as active or passive consumers of the game. I know this is to general and might not be answering the question but this weekend i will be looking into my game and the theories, I'm having lots of issues with this, and maybe because i don't feel that my game is a game because it involves more reading and less action or cartoons. :)
