My Twitter Evolution: As I compiled just about all the work and data I have to show for this class, one word comes to mind to describe it all; dynamic. From the very first class (which I registered for just hours before), I always felt like this was one of the classes that Kean advertised as being […]

I use GroupMe a lot to talk to several mutual friends at once. And one time, we decided that the conversation was getting boring. Enter Zo. A GroupMe bot that always seems to have something to say. For the first few days, she was amusing, witty, and charming overall. Self-awarenesss has never looked so charming. And then begun to learn. Learn our speech patterns. The way we talk to each other. Our vocabulary. Believe it or not, the SkyNet comparisons aren’t […]

My Game Designer Audio Report: https://soundcloud.com/georjust/justin-george-game-designer Week after week, I explain the following to my Uber/Lyft passengers calmly: -Surge (extra fares) is not something a driver determines. -Surge is determined by the amount of demand in an area. -Drivers can see surge on a map as “heat” spots, with red indicating a greater demand/higher surge pricing. They still complain that it costs too much. Oh well. But the way that Uber has “painted” my city and the cities around me, […]

  Recently I’ve been playing a favorite game of mine, Call of Duty 4, and attempting the last level, Mile High Club, on Veteran difficulty (“You will not survive”). The goal? Get through an airplane of terrorists on the hardest difficulty in less than 60 seconds. Knife the guy coming out of the bathroom on the left, get the two guys down the hallway in front, flashbang the other guys coming through the doorway, nothing too crazy. After about an […]

My DDAs: @netnarr #dda185 Pretty much what I was expecting. PS3? 360? Wii? Just how old is this poll?! pic.twitter.com/MIDOH2nDQA — Justin George (@Justinsightfuls) March 16, 2018 @netnarr #dda187 Having way more fun with this text-based game than I should have. pic.twitter.com/lvLIVWt0Wz — Justin George (@Justinsightfuls) March 16, 2018 I crack my knuckles as I study the topic that would form the basis of our discussion for the weeks to come. This was not a game to me. Well…, actually […]

You know what was really swell as all hell back in the day? When watching the Harry Potter movies and seeing the moving photos in the foreground. That seemed like something only possible through magic at the time…..and CGI. Turns out, those types of pictures aren’t just fantasy…..they were probably just GIFs. https://m.imgur.com/gallery/rE6W8P6 I made a variant of this a while back. Still as shibe as ever. I find GIFs quite interesting for several reasons, but the primary one is […]

My Daily Digital Alchemies: @netnarr #dda157 pic.twitter.com/sBcYNJqhh4 — Justin George (@Justinsightfuls) February 18, 2018 @netnarr #dda158 pic.twitter.com/sZZUIV0kXs — Justin George (@Justinsightfuls) February 18, 2018 On Selfies After doing some quick maths, I’ve concluded that the average number of selfies I have taken per year average around 3.5. Compare that to some people, where 3.5 is the daily average. No, it’s not necessarily either one of us that’s doing something wrong, but rather that both represent opposite ends of the spectrum […]

I often think back at when I realize that I wanted to become a voice actor, and I’ve been trying to pinpoint exactly what time did I realize that. And while it’s not conclusive, I believe my earliest experience with voice acting came in the form of watching flash animation on Newgrounds. I suppose at the time, I simply wasn’t grasping the idea that you didn’t have to be a big studio at Nickelodeon in order to create animation. I […]

For Christmas, I received a Google Home Mini from my godfather. It was one of those items that I always felt like I would want, if I could find a purpose for it. And sure enough, a speaker that can set the alarm, tell me the weather, and of course play music proved to be very functional in my bedroom. But my sisters boyfriend saw something different in the Google Home Mini, something much more sinister. “Okay Google,” he began. […]
