    ALBERT STEFFEN CENTENNIAL ISSUE NUMBER 39 AUTUMN, 1984 ISSN 0021-8235 . Albert Steffen does not need to learn the way into the spiritual world from Anthroposophy. But from him Anthroposophy can come to know of a living “Pilgrimage ” — as an innate predisposition o f the soul — to the world of spirit. Such a poet-spirit must, if he is rightly understood, be recognized within the anthroposophical movement as the bearer o f a message from the spirit realm. It must indeed be felt as a good destiny that he wishes to work within this movement. H e adds, to the evidence which Anthroposophy can give of the truth inherent within it, that which works within a creative personality as spirit-bearer like the light of this truth itself.

  • There Is a Place Beneath These Ancient Ruins, in the Moor, That Calls out to the Boldest Among Them…
    There is a place beneath these ancient ruins, in the moor, that calls out to the boldest among them… “We are the Flame!” they cry, “And Darkness fears us!” They descend, spurred on by fantasies of riches and redemption, to lay bare whatever blasphemous abnormality may slumber restlessly in that unholy abyss… But Darkness is insidious. Terror and madness can find cracks in the sturdiest of armors, the most resolute of minds… And below, in that limitless chasm of chaos, they will realize the truth of it. “We are not the Flame!” they will cry out, “We are but moths and we are doomed!” And their screams will echo amidst the pitiless cyclopean stones… Of the You will arrive along the old road. It winds with a troubling, serpent-like suggestion through the corrupted countryside. Leading only, I fear, to even more tenebrous places. There is a sickness in the ancient pitted cobbles of the old road and on its winding path you will face viciousness, violence, and perhaps other damnably transcendent terrors. So steel yourself and remember: there can be no bravery without madness. The old road will take you to hell, but in that gaping abyss we will find our redemption. Gain +1000 CP. Origins “Women and men, soldiers and outlaws… fools, and corpses. All will find their way to us now that the road is clear.” The wanderers who have come here to the Hamlet have backstories as varied and tragic as the tales of the Hamlet itself. For the sake of expediency they have been generalized into four main categories, of which you may pick one: The Light- “Let each help the other, and in so doing, help themselves.” Servants of the Light, and the Holy Flame, and the Blood.

It also entails that the interaction between humans has changed, since many instances of communication are mediated by a device or a machine. The rise of the Internet has also introduced new linguistic and narrative aspects, which have embedded themselves into the lives of a vast percentage of the world population and particularly inside pop and youth culture.

  • Bring a Shovel: Darkest Dungeon Is Brutally Beautiful By: Adam Shaftoe-Durrant
    Bring A Shovel: Darkest Dungeon is Brutally Beautiful By: Adam Shaftoe-Durrant Originally Appeared in Dirge Magazine on March 3, 2015 When I reached out to Red Hook Studios, the fine folk behind Darkest Dungeon, co-founder Chris Bourassa signed off his email with the words, “Bring a shovel.” I could not imagine a more fitting slug line for a game that is as brutally hard and unapologetic in its willingness to kill player characters as FTL or the original X-Com. Though Darkest Dungeon is still a work in progress, having secured funding through Kickstarter, the current build is incredibly playable and very well polished. Though there’s still placeholder art, and several sections of the game are not yet complete, the overall aesthetic is so refined as to leap off the screen and rattle around in my sub-conscious. Our player is set up as the distant relation of a pre-modern eccentric, who has squandered the family fortune on his pursuit of the occult. Forget about power, wealth, and other banal things, this man is in search of the untold pleasures awaiting a soul brave enough to wander antediluvian halls. It’s that kinda party. Horror devotees will recognize the spirit of cosmic horror in the mythos, but I see a strong root in the works of Clive Barker. Though the horrors of Darkest Dungeon often make the Cenobites look like a bunch of creampuffs. Since the game is still in development, I don’t want to spend too much time writing about gameplay features and various nuts and bolts.

  • Playing the Sound of Silence Immersion, Loneliness, and Analysis of Multimodal Intertextuality in 21St Century Video Game Music
    Playing the Sound of Silence Immersion, Loneliness, and Analysis of Multimodal Intertextuality in 21st Century Video Game Music Even Ågrimsønn Næss Tekrø Master Thesis Department of Musicology Faculty of Humanities University of Oslo 2018 © Even Ågrimsønn Næss Tekrø 2018 ‘Playing the Sound of Silence’ http://www.duo.uio.no Trykk: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo ii Abstract This thesis seeks to investigate how music helps the player be immersed in video games. I do this through a multimodal and intertextual analysis, where I consider gameplay, visuals, sound design and music. The goal is to uncover what connotations and associations I bring in to the experience that influences the creating of meaning in the music. I use a methodology built on the emerging musicological sub-discipline ludomusicology, popular musicology and game studies, which give me a holistic approach for the hermeneutics of the video game music. I have used the lens of loneliness to give myself a framework to work within. For this thesis I have separated loneliness into three different categories: solitude, loneliness and isolation. I do this to better explore different facets of the experience of being alone in a video game, and how the music affects that experience specifically. This main part of this thesis is split into three chapters related to discussion around my interpretations. I examine The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (2017), No Man’s Sky (2016) and Bloodborne (2015) iii iv Acknowledgments First, I need to thank the Department of Musicology, University of Oslo, for giving this popular music student a chance at musicology proper when they accepted me into their master’s programme.

State of Play: Videogames and Moral Engagement Abstract: In this article we examine three recent examples of ‘ethically notable games’ (Zagal, 2010) and highlight unusual or innovative design features for facilitating moral engagement. Drawing on Sicart (2010, 2013) to frame our analysis, our goal is to highlight current trends in ENG design and show how commercial games are moving beyond reductive “morality meters” and treating moral choice with greater nuance, resulting – for the most part – in a more morally engaging experience. Keywords: Morality, videogames, virtue ethics, Firewatch, Deus Ex, Darkest Dungeon Morality is a fundamental component of human experience, and art – from Greek drama through to Saturday morning cartoons – is a powerful, pervasive means of disseminating and interrogating moral principles and points-of-view (Carr, 2005, 2006). Videogames are no exception to this rule and the history of ‘ethically notable games’ (Zagal, 2010) or ENGs is almost as long as the history of gaming itself, with formative examples like Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar (Origin Systems, 1985) and Balance of Power (Crawford, 1985) appearing in the early 1980s. Following the success of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (Bioware, 2003), it became something of a trend for videogames to feature ‘morality meter’ systems in which the player’s moral decisions contribute to an overall ‘morality score’ for their character.
