  • Halo - the Forerunner Saga
    Halo - The Forerunner Saga The Forerunner Saga. This time period is set nearly one hundred thousand years prior to the events of the Halo games most people know. It is set during the time of the Forerunner-Flood war, in the final years of this massive conflict. In a few short months, a young Forerunner Manipular named Bornstellar will travel to Erde-Tyrene and, led by a pair of de-evolved humans, release the Didact from his self imposed exile. Little do they know that the horrific Halo rings had been finished some decades ago, and the consequences of their test fire are soon going to make themselves known. The Forerunner-Flood war is about to begin with full force, starting with the destruction of their capital world. In just shy of a decade, pushed to the point of extinction by the Flood, the Halo rings will be fired properly, killing all life in the galaxy bar those hidden away in the few safe Shield Worlds or on the Lesser Ark. Get ready to be embroiled in a war that spans a galaxy. You have 1000CP to ​ ​ spend in the document below. Origin: You can choose your age and gender for free. ​ Manipular (Drop In) The name given to forerunner adolescents. These are the ones who have not yet found their role in life, nor gone through a single mutation. The base upon which everything else to come is built upon.

Overthrew our own Hive-Gods. Escaping from its clutches just in time, John and The Arbiter see that The Ark has been building a replacement ring for the one he destroyed. He was given two critical choices by Halsey. The Master Chief used the ring to destroy the Gravemind and, once again, save the human race. He is informed that The Arbiter has allied himself with the humans. For one thing, the Mgalekgolo had more armor than she had ammo.

  • "The Lionheart". Holla
    Dese words done been writ by dat one dude... "The Lionheart". Holla. In the Halo franchise's fiction, the universe itself is a living thing ""The basic principle was called neural physics," I said. "Precursors felt the Mantle extended to the entire universe, energy and matter as well as living creatures... some say. The universe lives, but not as we do."" -Cryptum, page 103. Spoken by Bornstellar to the Ur-Didact. [Further quotations substantiating this statement are remembered to exist, and can be hunted down if this one is not sufficient.] and sapient life is able to continue its existence past the inevitable end of space and time within a universe. ""The Precursors lived in many shapes, flesh and spirit, primitive and advanced, spacefaring and locked to their worlds... Evolved over and over again, died away, were reborn, explored and seeded many galaxies... This I was told. I understand little. "We are your children, Librarian. But we are also their children. And what they learned across many billions of years they stored in this galaxy. We do not know where. The Gravemind tells us something that is impossible to understand--that most of what has been gathered comes from before there were stars. We do not believe in such a time, but the Mind insists... The life-patterns and living wisdom of a hundred billion years."" -Silentium, pages 321-322. This was spoken by an instance of the composed essence of Forthencho, cruelly imprinted onto/into another living human by The Gravemind. The age of our universe is presently believed by many in the scientific community to be 13.798±0.037 billion years (for brevity's sake, I tend to say ~14 billion years old).

    Correlation Between Player Type and Design Features of MMORPGs and Loot Systems A thesis presented to the academic faculty in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the Degree Masters of Science in Game Science and Design in the College of Arts, Media, and Design by Sri Bharadwaj Tolety Thesis Committee Thesis Advisor: Derek Curry, PhD Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts December 2019 1 2 ABSTRACT Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPGs) lets players live out their fantasies through their online avatars. The system that is used to distribute rewards to players is called the loot system. The aim of this study is to correlate player type to features of loot systems and define a framework that can help future designers. By focusing on the foundation of the game i.e the design of the activities, the rewards, and how these rewards are given to players and incorporate features such as randomness, misfortune mitigation, luck, etc. that increase satisfaction for the type of player they are designing the game for. This study used the player type defined by Quantic Foundry to analyze the player types for the 6 participants and found preliminary evidence that suggests that further research could be productive.

  • No Selling the Genie Lamp: a Game Literacy Practice in the Sims
    E–Learning and Digital Media Volume 7 Number 1 2010 www.wwwords.co.uk/ELEA No Selling the Genie Lamp: a game literacy practice in The Sims ELISABETH R. HAYES & JAMES PAUL GEE Arizona State University, USA ABSTRACT Drawing on the New Literacy Studies, the authors argue that game literacy takes multiple forms and is embedded in different practices associated with particular games and gaming communities. They examine one specific game literacy practice that involves players of The Sims creating challenges for other players, and they identify how playing and creating these challenges engages players as designers, modders, coach/mentors, teachers, and orchestrators of particular forms of discourse. The forms of writing that the players engage in, both in online game forums and in their stories about their Sims, is a new print literacy practice, as well as an integral part of a specific game literacy practice. The authors’ analysis suggests that the ability to engage in ‘soft modding’ may be a crucial, though undervalued, aspect of game literacy in this context, and also illustrates how game literacies can be integrally tied to and, in turn, transform print literacies. A Socially Situated View of Game Literacy The word ‘literacy’ in its traditional use means ‘writing’ and ‘reading’ language. It is common, of course, to use the word in an extended sense, for things like ‘visual literacy’, ‘computer literacy’, ‘music literacy’, and even ‘emotional literacy’. In these extended senses, the terms treat images, computers, music, and emotions as if they were systems, like language, for producing (‘writing’) and consuming (‘reading’) meanings.
