Blogging groups: Givin props to dem crazy hipsters.

As Mr. Jana requested, I must now give... ah... "props" to my homies. Or something of that sort. *Sigh* 'Tis a sad day when your teacher is more hip than you are. I'm getting old before my time.

But I digress. The awards go to:

Michael Murillo: For use of the words "Towering" and "Fumbling". These words helped portray the feeling of fear right from the starting gate.

Cameron Parvini: And Parvini man wins the awards for using the words "Thrust", "Desolate", and "Overwhelming".

Thrust gave me the feeling of how sudden it came on, Desolate gave me the feeling of an extreme lonliness, and "Overwhelming" the sense of- dare I say it? Raw power. You had three completely seperate emotions going on within the course of a few sentences, and what's more, you actually got it to work. Bravo, says I!

Matthew McCauley: Matthew, Matthew, Matthew. Maaaaathew. When I first saw this tiny little paragraph some days ago and read the first few seconds, I was rather disappointed, thinking it was going to be some mediocre thing.

I should have known better.

Although it's already been mentioned to death, "Trepidation" was clearly the star in this circus of vocabulary. I did not even know such a word existed, but once I looked up the definition, I discovered it fit in perfectly.

Another excellent use of the English language would be your use of "acquired". Acquired is one of those wonderful words that has the exact same meaning as a more common word, but nevertheless makes you look smart. It has yet to fail it's job when you use it. I don't know if this was a conscience decision or not, but having a longer word there sort of helped with the flow of the paragraph. If you simply used the word "got" instead, the sentence would have seemed too short compared to the others, and the paragraph would have lost it's rhythm.

I guess all that rap you listen to is good for something after all ;)


And, just to make sure nobody missed it in my previous entry some minutes ago:
My spriting dilemma has been solved! Michael Murrillo has risen to my call for help, and it was halfway on his own will! But, let us not stop there! Although two people is to some extent a sufficient team for this job, all the help we can get is appreciated! It does not necessarily have to be in spriting, either! Other jobs of interest that I would like to point out are:

Dungeon design (Required that you send me an example of a dungeon before being approved for this position. It does not have to be a functioning app, a few concept drawings of the surroundings and the puzzles will suffice)
Voice actors (It's either we have none of these at all, or quite a few, so for this to come to fruition, we shall need all the help we can get! Alas, though, I do not have sufficient equipment for this, so you will either have to procure your own or convince Mr. V to let him loan you his. And yes, and if this is to come to fruition, there are a pair of ladies that complete the trio of main characters, so all y'all girls down there don't be afraid to come ask!)
Item design/stat balancing (Those of you that love weapons and explosions, come on down!)
Monster design/stat balancing (Like drawing things with fangs and razor sharp claws? This is a good job for you!)
Spell design/stat balancing (More explosions than an entire season of Mythbusters!)

And... more to be posted as I think of them. If you are interested in these or other positions, come talk to me in class or email me at setokaiba800 at gmail dot com.
