Colossal Cave Adventure Micro Blog

Hello Again everyone! Today I played an interactive fiction game called Colossal Cave. It reminded me of all the old, choose your own adventure books, I use to read when I was younger. It was a hypertext game, that let you read the story while you input commands, to give your character choices to follow. I admit I had some trouble at first to find out the right commands to use. I personally feel this is a good way to tell a story. Like this and the many narratives, we have read so far, is engaging to certain audiences. According to The New Digital Storytelling. " Unlike a novel, we have no single, linear direction to follow. Instead, reading a hypertext is something like a hybrid of exploring a space" He talks about how we are the authors. We get to make an impact on the narrative. This type of storytelling is different because, in a way, we get to experience the narrative as if we were a part of it.

Comparing Two of My Blog Analysis

Blog The Sick Land

Hello Everybody!!! It is another exciting week of Blogging! I dunno what it is? me personally I like many other people, enjoy stories where situations slowly get bad to worse (kinda like a zombie apocalypse theme like feeling.) I have decided that I still have diaries on my mind. This week's Literary Feature I have Chosen is TONE  the slow continuing of hopelessness and dread. I have been playing Fallout 4 recently,  I have liked the diaries in the video game and the blog The Sick Land have some similarities. I like the theme how everything is bright at the beginning and everything slowly turns to despair. Quoting the Author of The new Digital Storytelling Bryan Alexander pg 49 paragraph 3 ( The Sick Land builds up through escalating violence into something approaching cosmic horror..... The tale proceeds chronologically, without any asynchronous foreshadowing or editing or earlier posts. It begins on a note of hope and positive anticipation.) Researcher, Alex Case is exc
