Week 6 Blog

About the Reading I am seeing a repeating concept of time throughout the study of games and literature in this class. I like how in the story The Call of Cthulhu time is used to set the stage for bazaar dreams. All the dreams of those affected happen all in this period of time between March 22 and 23rd and April 2nd. This story caught my attention because it was something different that I was not used to seeing. I like how in the story Wilcox gets sick and then remembers nothing of his dreams before, as if it had never happened. It leaves you as the reader putting yourself in the narrators shoes thinking that others might think of you as being mad as if it never really happened and it was all in your head. The story leaves a lot to the imagination as far as trying to figure out in my own mind what is going on. It also leaves me to try and put myself in the time period in which the story was told. I found this story to be so interesting I even found an old black and white silent picture movie of it. About the Games I decided that for this part I was going to look at what it would take to run a Call of Cthulhu RPG since I signed up to do so. From what I understand it is kind of like horror meets investigation. Also you have to make things creepy and weird. I don’t know what this game is exactly like but it kind of sounds like fun. And apparently it is really important to understand the H P Lovecraft story. I did get the last Resident Evil game and started playing that a bit. It is an interesting game and is actually pretty hard. I was playing with another person online in this sort of co-op and even then found it difficult. Maybe it is because I am so new to the game, I am not sure. I kept getting stuck with running out of ammo and fumbling with the controls trying to kill things without bullets. Overall it is a fun game and look forward to playing more of it.
