Improving Productivity Using IT Assignment: Updates and Risk Assements

Hello Peeps!
                   Our next assignment was to draw upon risk assessments that occur in creative industries that we learnt in last Friday's  lesson with Jo. I decided to create a studio working in animated movies and gaming called:
~ Kawaii Fukuro Studios.

Basically it's Cute Owl Studios in Japanese- what's cuter that chibi owl? :)

Actually nothing to do with this subject- my cockatiel (Bobby) is obsessed at the moment by calling herself a 'clever Bobby', whilst my Regent is puffed up like a Pigeon- ha lol he ate the pigeon!

Back from Eillisha's random world.

So yes I've just finished that, to be honest I found the last three risks that can happen in a gaming/ animating studio, hard to think of. I will eventually set up my assignments on a personal website so I can link them on here- then again there's always copy and pasting.

In my seminar with my personal tutor, Chris Jackson, we discussed what games we were playing at the time; mine being Legend Of Zelda Spirit Tracks. One game we did mention was Darksiders- something I've wanted to play since it was advertised but because I only have :
~Wii
~PS2
~Nintendo DS Lite
~Gameboy Color

I can't. So the phrase that's stuck in my head from that is:

'This is no place for a horse'

Since then when I help out at a local yard with their horses I went around saying that in the fields and stables- told you I was nuts! So yip, instead I played Shadow The Hedgehog with my little brother, I remember playing it when I was around the age of 9-10 but now I can hardly control Shadow because he 'glides' too fast- how sad. Then today I got bored of Cluedo and housework I watched my brother play Pokepark: Pikachu's Adventure. In my opinion the graphics and the story line look great (well they do as well in the second game) and run cycles are good (apart from Ponyta and Rapidash) but I feel it's quite simple with doing tasks and 'attractions'. On the other hand one could argue it's a children's game so it's meant to be like that.

I really need to finish off my DS games. So far I have to complete:
~ Professor Layton and the Lost Future
~Final Fantasy III
~Final Fantasy- The 4 Heroes Of Light
~Kingdom Hearts 358/7 Days
~Legend Of Zelda Spirit Tracks

Then I want to but the sequel to Okami which is Okamiden. I hope it lives up to Okami and exceeds it otherwise it just wouldn't be right for all the Okami fans out there. Oh wells until next time folks!

Sayonara!

Introduction: Ok...

Hello! Ok I'm fairly new to this kind of 'blogging' thing, to me it's like a diary but online- no need for pen and paper anymore *chucks old diaries out the window* Now back to the commercials :)

Right reasons for creating a blog is down to becoming a recent student at Confetti Studios (college) for gaming. Yip good old (well new) GS12!  So we have to keep a blogging account to write about all the relevant things from our experiences (which are turning out to be hilarious and exciting!)

To be honest I much prefer Deviant Art to Blogger, then again I'm creating my own website (when I get through all this art) and start spamming that with BLOGS! Yippers- I'm insane.

~Ha! Terrapin fell off his floating log instead of getting his food- yip madness!

So getting back to the point... our recent homework was to create a review for our favorite game. I'm not a gamer who goes for stuff like Call Of Duty or Assassins Creed- I'm more the Legend Of Zelda, Professor Layton, Final Fantasy and Spyro The Dragon person- well thing.

Okami became my victim after playing it on/off for three years! oWO Totally enjoyed that game with it being, to me, perfect in every aspect down to the tiniest detail. What more could you want when the best interaction is drawing the attacks on enemies (Cherry Bomb- personal favorite) for doing a hand- to - hand combat not only having 3 different weapons as arsenal but being a wolf as well!

I think I'll leave this post for now folks, until next time.
Jar Neigh!
