KIFF: SM&OG making the Spiral your own 2/12

MMORPGs, also known as Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games, are, in a nutshell, escapes into a virtual reality created by companies for the enjoyment of the players.
Wizard101 fits this description.

MMORPGs thrive on User Generated Content

If you've never played the game before you meet Headmaster Merle Ambrose and his pet Gamma the Owl


They consult the Book of Secrets
and give you a little test that you can skip
afterwords once you've chosen your school you can create from the limited choices what your character looks like.

First you choose the Gender
Girl

Boy






Either a girl or a boy

After that you can change the face, hair shapes and colors and skintone, as well as the colors of the initial outfit he/she wears.

After making your selections you name your wizard

Keep in mind that once you choose your wizard's face & hair, it's Permanent. 


You then choose your wizard's name, and after you click Okay or Done, you're wisked off to the tutorial.


Later on in the game, your wizard can purchase their own houses.  They can decorate them in infinitely different ways.

For more information I suggest you visit  the fansite Wizard101 Central It's the biggest example of user generated content for Wizard101.

Wizard101 Central is maintained by two wizards named Jester & Olivia.

Players have uploaded videos and guides on how to do quests, etc.

Without any user generated content, this game would not exist.

 See ya' in the Spiral!

OBJECTION! Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies

First of all, let me state that this game looks very intriguing and I can't wait to add it to my 3DS. All I can hope for is that Capcom DOESN'T treat this game like it treated Rockman DASH 3 (Megaman Legends 3)  Yesterday I woke up and while browsing the Ask Ace Attorney blog on Tumblr and on a post someone asked the mod if they had seen this   the trailer for the English version of Ace Attorney 5.  I had to watch it a few times to realize that I'm not dreaming. This game is coming to the 3DS! Even though the reason I bought my 3ds originally was so that I could play Megaman Legends 3, but we all know how Capcom treated that particular 3DS title.  One of the main differences is that it's in 3D instead of the traditional 2d anime-ish sprites.  Although isn't                                voiced b...

When it comes to the Power Rangers,

The Zordon fanpage on Facebook is holding a contest and it's to answer the question What emotionally attached you to the Power Rangers show and Why do you love it so much? That got me to blushingly chuckle and to do a little soul searching and well, my first reply is "do you really want to know?"   The short answer is I had a horrible childhood and PR was an escape.  But the long answer... well... here's my story.  The history of Jessica Zordon Spock. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers came out in 1993. I was going on 10 years old (I'm 30 years old now) and in Mrs Welch's  4th grade class at West Elementary, the kids had been talking about this cool new tv show called Power Rangers. I had never heard of it and that day at 5pm I tuned into Fox to watch Batman the animated series, come to find out that Batman had been moved to 4:30 and the Power Rangers was shown at 5. The episode was Island of Illusion. The Rangers were trapped on this island and would disappear ...

back to campus

Warning this blog is written from the point of a very stressed out older college student, and might not be read by viewers. This blog might be a little ranty at times. Well, it's back to campus time again and already I think my academic career is in jeopardy. For one thing, I'm waitlisted for two classes, and no one has dropped from the classes. I'm waitlisted for "Basic Advertising Copywriting" and "Intro to Media Production" I'm at positions 1 & 6 respectively. I'm waiting to buy the books until after I am enrolled in the classes. I'm currently in Portfolio review and Philosophy of Science and I don't understand how the either/or system works. The classes start at 12:30 pm. (a little over an hour from now, as of this writing) I currently have 4 units, so I don't have fin aid. Which is a BIG problem and why I'm desperately waiting to get in to the classes. I hope I pass Portfolio Review because if I do, I'll drop the ...
