Hello, everyone. With a new year comes many a new responsibility. Unfortunately,
Take Me Far Away
Context: The idea behind this story is that I had to write about something that revolved around the concept of “get me out of here”. Check out how I spun this prompt below.
The Final Whirl: A Reflective Narrative
Well, this is it, guys. This journey through the teachings of small group communications (or digital collaborations, whichever you choose to call it) has finally come to its last stop. We’ve learned a throughout this adventure, though, haven’t we? As we read through A Systems Approach to Small Group Interaction, we developed a lot of […]
A Universal Education
Guess what? The semester is coming to a close, and I have yet another group project to share with you all. This time around, I participated in a Group Community Action Project, where we had to create some sort of event that we would get the community involved in. For our project, we decided to […]
Creator-Community Symbiosis: The Culture of Gaming
As a member of the culture of gaming I have to agree with John Banks when he states that “The success of media enterprises such as games developers may rely on effectively combining and coordinating the various forms of expertise possessed by both professional games developers and creative gamers, not displacing one with the other” in […]
The Analysis of Isaac: Day Three
Yet again, r/bindingofisaac has shown me more layers to their subreddit.

Rather than quoting more of Understanding Rhetoric, today’s post will […]
The Analysis of Isaac: Day Two

First let’s start by mentioning another lesson spoken through Understanding Rhetoric: “…while writing exists in many spaces, it also moves. It changes shape, form, […]
The Analysis of Isaac: Day One
I’ve always been a huge fan of The Binding of Isaac series made by Edmund McMillen, so much so that I even wrote a game theory article about it at one point. I have put over 104 hours of playtime into The Binding of Isaac and 309 hours of playtime into its sequel, The Binding of […]
Madea Joins The Military
Honestly, at this point, I’m surprised there hasn’t been a Madea movie that had something to do with the military or something related to it, but I digress. Tyler Perry purchased the lands of the very old Fort McPherson back in 2015. He had plans to turn it into a new film studio, where he […]
Move That Boom Mic, I’m Driving Here!
While Atlanta’s recently booming film productions are giving a lot of new life to Atlanta’s economy, it is also changing the lives of locals who have to deal with the constant signs of filming and large equipment set-ups. What once was a glamorous and awe-inspiring industry has left many Atlantans wishing Hollywood would stay in […]
