NISSAN PIVO 2~

PET SOCIETY

Pet Society is a game found in Facebook. This is one of the online games I'm currently obsessed with. It's similar to TAMAGOCHI, but there's more features such as shopping for food, clothes and furniture for the pet's house. I love playing these games because it's like presenting yourself for others to see.

Appleseed 3-D!!!!!

I'm a great fan of Masamune Shirow's work (the creator of Ghost in the Shell) and I was totally excited when this new movie came out. It was one of the first anime/ 3-D animations created for viewers.

When I head about the Digital Cultures brief, it reminded me of this movie because the story talks about a Utopia that was created after the great war. The artwork is brilliant and I love the action sequences within the story.

Little foot (Adam Phillips)

this is a really good series(Bitey of Brackenwood) done with flash by Adam Phillips. I like how all the objects, chancters and backgrounds can move so fluently.

Current Idea 0_0? OCTOPUS CARD!

I've been to Hong Kong a couple of times and there's the existence of this card called 'Octopus Card' which was first launched in 1997. I found it really interesting when I used it for traveling around the city therefore I'm going to investigate it for this brief. It's a contact-less card used for electronic payments online and offline. It expanded widely and now used for the payment of a mass transit system (underground trains, buses etc). Besides transit, this card can be used to pay for food in supermarkets, vending machines, fast-food restaurants, convenient stores, parking tickets within Hong Kong. This card is able to make things so much easier and it transfers the payment in 0.3 SECONDS! You can always top up the card at the MTR traveling stations.




Less fuss and no going through your change to see if you have enough.





It can be used in unexpected places...........

Has anyone played Shenmue?

After the briefing, this was the first thing that came into my head. This clip is from the RPG game 'Shenmue' and it stood out from other Dreamcast games because of it's way of involving the player. The outcomes of the story can be different depending on which options the player chooses. I played this game quite a while ago and I find the story very well scripted and the extra mini games separate from the original scenario just adds more fun.
