  • The Italian Digital Classroom: Italian Culture and Literature Through Digital Tools and Social Media
    The Italian Digital Classroom: Italian Culture and Literature through Digital Tools and Social Media 1. Using Video Games to Teach Italian Language and Culture: Useful, Effective, Feasible? Video games are a highly relevant part of life for our student population. According to the Pew Research Center (PRC, 2015), half of American adults play videogames, and 70% of college students play video games “at least once in a while” (Weaver).1 Some of the current commercial console and PC video games (some of which are also available on Mac, Android, and iOS) are digital, multi-media realia that can be used to enhance language acquisition both in and outside the classroom. The advantages of realia as a whole have already been extensively explored from a theoretical standpoint (Spurr; Dlaska). The advantages include development of specific personal interests in exploring, and therefore acquiring the foreign or second (F/L2) language and culture within a context. The ultimate goal of using realia is to turn students into life-long learners of the target language and culture. According to CALL research, digital realia, given their nature as multimedia, easily-accessible, persistent cultural artifacts, are particularly advantageous in reaching that goal (Smith). Compared to other digital realia, some specific video games add additional opportunities for language exploration. All such games, while similar in nature to movies (providing exposure to listening comprehension in the spoken dialogues and reading comprehension in the subtitles) also involve important additional features such as: writing and even speaking with other online users in the target language; direct interaction and agency, which improve learning skills (Deters et al.; Mitchell and Savill- Smith; Gee, What Video Games and “Good Video Games”); and critical thinking and problem-solving, which can be applied to physical group interaction in the classroom.

I have been living in England for about 6 years in the past and I now wish to relocate with a new work as an artist and developer. I went through the stage of pushing visual aspects of video games to higher standards (which I still try to do), to the place of reaching the emotions of future players with my artwork and other tools I have at my disposal. At the same time I keep in mind that games should be fun and entertaining. I always do my best to deliver the quality and quantity corresponding to peak of my current skills. It is also important for me to constantly develop those skills and broaden my interests by interacting and working with other like-minded professionals. These are the reasons behind many of my decisions, but of course, we are humans and sometimes we just appreciate a nice morning coffee.

It is the sequel to the 2013 game Tomb Raider and its se- quel Rise of the Tomb Raider, and the twelfth entry in the Tomb Raider series. The game is set to release on 14 September 2018 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Shadow of the Tomb Raider is an action-adventure game played from a third-person perspective. The game's hub is set to be the largest in the franchise which also reveals the hidden city of Paititi. Players can participate in side quests and missions and learn about Paititi which provides a richer experience. A new barter system allows players to trade resources, salvage parts and weapons in Paititi. There are numerous adjustments made to gameplay, which is otherwise identical to Rise. The controls for swimming have been completely revised, as Lara is now able to hold her breath underwater for a longer period of time due to the introduction of air pockets. She also gains the ability to rappel down a cliff using a rope. Stealth becomes an im- portant part of the game, with Lara being able to disengage from combat when she escapes from enemies' line of sight.

He was created by writer John Wagner and artist Carlos Ezquerra, and first appeared in the second issue of 2000 AD (1977), a weekly science-fiction anthology comic. He is the magazine's longest-running character. Joseph Dredd is a law enforcement officer in the dystopian future city of Mega-City One in North America. He is a "street judge", empowered to summarily arrest, convict, sentence, and execute criminals. In Great Britain, the character of Dredd and his name are sometimes invoked in discussions of police states, authoritarianism, and the rule of law.[2] Contents ◾ 1 Publication history ◾ 2 Character and appearance Cover to 2000 AD prog 168 ◾ 2.1 Fictional character biography Art by Mike McMahon ◾ 2.2 Family and associates ◾ 3 Villains Publication information ◾ 4 The Judge system Publisher Former ◾ 5 Fictional universe IPC Media (Fleetway) ◾ 6 List of stories Current ◾ 7 Major storylines Rebellion Developments ◾ 8 Alternative versions First appearance 2000 AD no. 2 (5 March 1977) ◾ 9 In other media ◾ 9.1 Films Created by John Wagner (writer) ◾ 9.1.1 Judge Dredd (1995) Carlos Ezquerra (artist) ◾ 9.1.2 Dredd (2012) Pat Mills (editor) ◾ 9.2 Television In-story information ◾ 9.3 Games Full name Joseph Dredd ◾ 9.3.1 Videogames ◾ 9.3.2 Roleplaying

  • Neverdead – Das Von Sony Heißt
    NeverDead – das von Sony heißt EverQuest Digitales | Games: NeverDead Konami bringt einen neuen Shooter. Der spielt nicht in Neverland und ist dennoch ein Platz für Dramen. RUDOLF INDERST notiert zehn Gedanken. (1) Unsterblich klingt zunächst einmal nicht schlecht. Unsterblich klingt nach Action Replay Pro nur ohne Action Replay Pro. Aber: Unsterblich heißt nicht unbesiegbar. Wie sagte doch schon Kurt Wagner, der alte Zirkus-X-Man: »Stellen Sie sich vor, ich teleportiere mich in eine Wand?« Saublöd, indeed. (2) NeverDead? Könnte das – so rein dualistisch betrachtet – nicht das genau-programmatische Gegenteil von Dark Souls’ »EverDead« sein? (3) Manu twittert gerade, wie schlimm er das Spiel findet, ist es das wirklich? Ich werde es mal ausprobieren – gleich nach der Map Modern Warfare 3 oder der danach. Ach so, für 59 brauche ich noch 14k XP – nun, dann eben danach. (4) Ohne es zu merken, habe ich seit geraumer Zeit (bestimmt ein halbes Jahr) auf einer meiner Aufschneider- Miniseiten eine Spielszene aus NeverDead. (5) Das Spiel ist eine Zusammenarbeit von Shinta Nojiri (der hinter der – wie ich finde – konzeptionell großartigen Metal Gear Acid-Reihe steckt) und den britischen Codern von Rebellion (Ah, magische Momente 1994 auf dem Atari Jaguar mit Alien Vs. Predator)? Glaubt man einigen Besprechungen, war die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Hideo Kojima und MercurySteam in Spanien bei Castlevania erfolgreicher. Inderst, schlagen Sie Ihre Thesen doch an ein Kirchentor! (6) Heißt der Protagonist tatsächlich Bryce Boltzmann? Hmm, hätte man ohne das »t« (wir denken natürlich sofort an den österreichischen Physiker Ludwig Boltzmann oder wenigstens an Josef Stefan) nicht eine bessere Assoziation erzeugen können – nämlich die eines ludischen Bolzplatzes? Bing vermeldet bei »Bryce« übrigens als ersten Treffer einen 3D-Landschaftsgenerator.
