Games that I like

Two of the long list that I like are Grandia and FF VIII. For both of them, the story, characters, and plot are very well developed and the more you play them the more enthralled you become with the game. Also with Grandia its one of the few RPGs where you have leveling up, skill leveling up that increases parameters as well gaining new skills, and interchanging weapons that also level up and give parameter boosts. Along with having secret the ability of giving a portion of the magic skills that somebody can gain to other characters that take their place, Grandia was one of the first games to incorporate all these elements and with such success.

FF VIII has a very concept where you can have a huge say on the skills that everyone has, how those skills can be used, whether for actual battle use or as a boost to the status. Lots of secret dungeons and activities that have nothing to do with the story line, but help to add on to the story and history of the world where the game is set, this has been one of my all time favorite games.

Art Therapy Projects (Image assignment)

 This picture is about a mandala group project that was made by the whole class as an attempt to work together to make one piece of art. It worked pretty well as everyone adapted to their neighbors work and the work started to flow.
 This one was just the outcome of playing around with clay. I was thinking of Game of Thrones and somehow I ended up with this.
 This project was a collective piece in which we all worked together to make a project using materials that we found thrown around the campus.


This last one were stamps that I created by using a wooden block that I carved, and then rolled ink on to make the stamps.

Video Assignment



This is my voice over video. I just go over briefly and describe the character creating aspect of Dragon Age Origins.
