12 Minutes: THE HUSBAND IS THE WIFE’S HALF-BROTHER: FINAL JOURNAL: November 18, 2021
Today is the final game journal, so I just really wanted to find the answers. I admit it, I had to cheat. I didn’t want to spend hours replaying the same loop over and over again. The polaroid helped me find out the truth about the wife. Apparently, the wife didn’t kill her father he half-brother did. WHICH IS HER […] -
12 Minutes: The Cop Reveals Info & Wife Reveals The Hidden Watch!: November 12, 2021
I MADE THE COP BECOME UNCONSCIOUS! I am soooo happy! I feel like I’m getting closer to solving the puzzle. I don’t remember the exact order of events because everything was happening so fast. I made the wife flip the light switch a couple of times so when the fake cop comes he gets shocked and becomes unconscious. I snuck […] -

by @sunglasses260 November 8, 2021I'm quite proud to officially release this to the world: Currency & Captivity, Version 2! I thought that it would be fitting to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of the date I began this project by writing a blog post officially releasing the second version. -
Post-ds106
Well, hello! This will be a pretty short post. I simply wanted to let anyone who has read my blog know that I will hopefully be putting out more content in the months to come. I’ve completed the ds106 course, but in looking back through my posts, I’ve felt inspired to do some more ds106-related […] -
12 Minutes: Sleeping Pills: November 5, 2021
I ACTUALLY AM KIND OF FIGURING OUT NEW INFORMATION! The first thing I wanted to do was have the wife announce that she’s pregnant because I saw the present of the onesie in the drawer. We both are dessert and she gave me the present. I opened it and was excited about the news. Then, the robber came and the […] -
12 Minutes: The Wife is Becoming The Obstacle: October 29, 2021
This week I tried my best to find the watch. But I failed! This is sooooo frustrating!!! I looked EVERYWHERE! NO LUCK! If I try to leave the apartment the loop starts over. Then, I kept arguing with the wife about where the watch was and she wouldn’t budge. After that, I took the knife and stabbed her, but the […] -
12 Minutes: The Beginning of Solving The Mystery Puzzle: October 19, 2021
Gosh…where do I start. This game has been such a crazy ride. I love the concept, but sometimes it is reallllyyyy frustrating. I have been on an endless loop trying to find the watch the wife is hiding. I have tried soooo many different ways to solve this complex puzzle. I don’t remember what all I have done because the […] -
Life is Strange: Kate Commits Suicide: October 8, 2021: FINAL JOURNAL
I finally finished episode two today! Unfortunately, I was not able to save Kate. This actually made me really upset. I was unable to rewind, but I was able to freeze time so I could go on the roof. I tried to convince Kate not to jump, but I guess my choices were not good enough for her to stay. […] -
Node 2, I’m Through
I really enjoyed Node 2 and I feel like I got a much larger understanding of AI out of it. To pull from my “Impressions on AI” discussion post:  On a broad spectrum, I like to use technology as a creative outlet, but I also know I need break from it for my own mental… Continue reading Node 2, I’m Through -
Node #2 Reflection and Summary
Impressions of AI: A Progression (1) As we have started talking about AI my first thought was of an old website my siblings and I used to play on called Cleverbot.com. I believe that this website would be considered a form of AI because like Shane talks about in the reading, it cannot itself understand […] -
Life is Strange: Near Death Experience on Train Tracks!: October 1, 2021
I have been really stressed out playing this game today. Max and Chloe meet Frank Bowers who was demanding money from Chloe. He was also wearing Rachel’s bracelet. I thought Frank was about to hurt one of the girls with a knife when Max suddenly pulls out the gun. I chose not to shoot and thankfully he left us alone. […] -
Life is Strange: The Junkyard: September 30, 2021
Today I started at the junkyard with Chloe. My task was to find five bottles so Chloe can play a bottle shooting game. As I was finding the bottles I stumbled upon a Doe. I am so upset because I lost my opportunity to take a picture. I realized that I shouldn’t have gotten too close. I thought maybe she […] -
Arcade Follow-Up
Our trip to Reclaim Arcade was truly a unique experience. It felt as though we had been transported back in time to a different decade – a simpler time when technology was more unreachable (in the best way). The decor of the CD room made me feel like I was in an episode of Stranger […] -
Life is Strange: The Diner: September 24, 2021
Today I started outside of the girl’s dormitories. I talked to Samuel Taylor and discovered that he kept photos of Rachel. I was super creeped out by this person. I unlocked a few achievements by taking many photos, but I think I missed one outside of the diner. I talked to a few people outside and discovered a creep behind […] -
The Trolley Problem(s)
Well, I had more than one problem when it came to the dilemma with “The Trolley Problem”. I was able to get FlashPlayer downloaded to my Mac; however, I was unable to get the link in step two to open (whether I tried to drag it, or open it in my browser). However, I still… Continue reading The Trolley Problem(s) -
Life is Strange: Beginning of Episode 2: September 17, 2021
Today I started Episode 2 of Life is Strange. I started in the girl’s dormitories. A fellow classmate suggested that I should click every single thing in the game, so that’s what I started to do. After clicking everything and talking to people I headed straight to the bathrooms. Max sees Kate in the bathroom and has a really sad […] -
Coded by Cailyn
I honestly think… and I’m weirded out by the fact that I’m saying this… I may actually not hate coding. WHAT?! I KNOW. Before this semester started, coding was quite honestly one of the scariest things for me. I’ve always done well in school, and quite honestly I’ve never really struggled in the classroom. However,… Continue reading Coded by Cailyn -
Gaming Journal #2
Oh boy. Firstly, this week was exciting because I was finally got to dive into some serious gameplay!!! I have been playing BioShock throughout the week and wow – if my anxiety wasn’t bad before it sure is now. I am playing on Easy mode because although I have played some first-person shooter games before, […] -
Life is Strange: The Lighthouse/End of Episode 1: September 9, 2021
I remember discussing with other students who are playing the same game if there are more levels after the lighthouse. I believe they said there were more levels, but I actually finished the game. I didn’t expect to finish the game so quickly. I didn’t have to do much on the last level. I just talked to Chloe for a […] -
The Hard Truth
“The Soft Truth” by Leigh Alexander faces the hard truth of our currently technologically obsessed society: we are constantly chasing the endorphins released from the digital world. The narrator turns to satisfying videos for an escape of the anxieties of the real world–and honestly it’s terrifying. Sure, I don’t go to satisfying videos every time… Continue reading The Hard Truth -
Just Getting Started…
I’m not going to lie… coding is not coming naturally to me. Usually, I’m good with puzzles. I have my final picture, there are a lot of separate pieces, and I test the placements until I have my final product. However, I feel like in coding I don’t have my final picture. I’m putting together… Continue reading Just Getting Started…
