Inside my mind

Before we begin, let's just clarify what the "haves and have nots" from the title means. The haves and have nots are referring to those players who have access to social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, etc. The have nots are those without access. It isn't referring to those free account players vs subscribers/Preemies. Also "Young Wizards" is simply the way W101 refers to its players. Outside the spiral : Online games are played by millions of people world wide. The companies usually rely on social media sites to get the word out to their players. Also the official websites for the games have forums directly on their site so that players can get together and discuss any problems they're having. If however the players don't even have access to the net, then they can't even play the games. Also about 33% of the entire world's population has internet access. Whether or not their access is censored is another thing. Some nations...

Before we begin this week the lines between the Inside & Outside the Spiral are very blurred so this week the separations are gone. The whole premise of Wizard101 is that you play as a wizard enrolled at the Ravenwood School of Magical Arts, however because Wizard101 is entirely story based it can't exactly be used as a virtual classroom. There is a way to get around this, students and teachers could have W101 accounts provided for them. Students can use the True friend code feature to add their classmates and teachers and the teacher's wizard can stay at their castle and send PMs to the students' wizards requesting the wizards port over to the castle to have class. the above scenario would take away from the magic from the game, there are MMOs that can be used for that purpose. A MMO called Second Life is a non story based mmo with 3d graphics that creates a virtual world where anything can happen. in an article presented in this week's learning module ...

For some reason Concert Band + Wind Ensemble = Jessica feels much more comfortable. IDK why. concert band = the Ensemble as Dr. Tevis always says. The fear of Brooke switching me to 3rd part. Completely Unfounded! There were 3 new trumpet players PRAISE JESUS! They were men & were nice. I guess the bigger band size calms my nerves and helps me relax. I was actually able to introduce myself to other members of the band & Wind Ensemble. I have a Social Ainxiety Disorder & it's hard for me to make friends.  I'm giving my embouchure  a rest for the rest of the night. halfway during practice I was getting the natural Lipstick. :D LLAP

This isn't a KIFF Blog. So Wizard101 isn't going to be the focus. (in case anyone is reading this) KIFF = Keeping It Family Friendly. ISMM = In Side My Mind. Just a note that after the semester's over, All future blogs will be ISMM. The ISMM title won't appear in the title because the class I'm blogging (CDES 219) for will be over. Right now I'm sitting in the Computer Lab @ Chico State, killing time before my rehearsal. I'm really nervous because I'm not sure if I'll have my same parts. (mostly 2nd trumpet & 1st trumpet on two songs) In the first parts I have little things called Solos. Meaning I'm heard above everyone else. <- Just like Fluttershy. (one of the two ponies from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic that I identify with.) so I'm a little bit nervous. There are only 3 trumpet players in this ensemble, so I can't exactly hide in the sound like I'm used to. I'm also really nervous because of how long it...

Before we begin, you might notice that my blogs are divided into two sections, Inside & Outside the Spiral. Inside the Spiral directly relates the topic of the week to Wizard101 & Kingsisle. Outside the Spiral relates to online gaming as a whole. If the weekly topic doesn't really match Wizard101 more information will be Outside the Spiral. Remember that the in-game universe of Wizard101 is called the Spiral.  Inside the Spiral Nothing, not even family friendly online games, is free. Wizard101 is no exception. Wizard101 does start out as a free-to-play game. New wizards are given access to the Commons, Unicorn Way, Old Town & Triton Avenue for absolutely free. However after a wizard reaches level 10, they most likely will have finished those areas and will need to access other streets. Unfortunantly those streets, and the rest of the worlds are premium content. keep in mind both of my accounts have access to approximately 90% of the Spiral. As was said earlier...
