Blog Assignment 4

IMDB: IMDB provides us almost everything we need to know about a specific movie or tv show. As the entry I read was about the Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers plot summary, delving more into the website you can find out more. Reading about the trivia, one of the articles is about Helms Deep. It says that a warrior on the wall turns to the camera, revealing his scarred empty socket. The performer who played him showed up as an extra, wearing an eye patch; director Peter Jackson politely asked to see what was under the patch, and then inquired if the gentleman would be interested in appearing in the film.

Oxford Music Online: This article is about american composer Scott Bradley. After working as a theater musician in Houston, Texas, he moved to Los Angeles in 1926 and played in theater and radio orchestras. Bradley was hired by animators Rudy Ising and Hugh Harman, formerly of the Warner Bros. animation studio, to provide music for a short sequence of animation in Paramount’s 1933 feature adaptation of Alice in Wonderland.

World of Warcraft is one of the most profitable MMO games in history. Players collect currency to buy weapons and other gear to fight monsters, by looting or selling items to other players. The process of collecting currency at a normal playing rate, known as “the grind,” takes about four months to complete. Chinese businesses known as gold farms take over the grind from impatient players.
The Chinese gamers rarely play and engage in the long and hard task of collecting currency, which is then passed on to distributors who sell to players. Many gamers describe the shortcut as cheating, because beginners find it hard to match the productivity levels of the Chinese gold farmers. Some US players filed a lawsuit against IGE, an online World of Warcraft gold retailer. The gold farmers, who work long shifts and earn about 30 cents per hour, are the players who have the most at stake.

MBTI Test Results

ISTJ

Introvert(22%)  Sensing(1%)  Thinking(38%)  Judging(1%)

I think this test was actually able to find out a lot about me. I see myself as an introvert person and a thinker. Often I think to myself about things and I'd usually rather stay home then go out and do things. Some of the questions seemed vague and confused me. The questions described me but they also made me seem like someone who I wasn't. I didn't really need any advice from this test but it's useful to know that I'm a little like George Washington.
