Calvinism: October 2007
http://sexybastard.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Nam tua res agitur, paries cum proximus ardet. System, Techniques and the Future of Role-Playing. Much of contemporary RPG theory considers the system. For all doubt in this matter to vanish. If all these games can be said to have something in common, it is their narrowness. This narrowness is a consequence of the tight pairing between system and concept that is an important part of the design philosophy of the Forge. The techniques and mechanical solutions developed over the last few years by innovative...

Calvinism: December 2007

Nam tua res agitur, paries cum proximus ardet. The Myths of Climate Change. I have previously ranted against those who tackle the climate issue by changing their own consumption patterns, declaring their actions pointless. I will now clarify my position on this matter. Let me start by stating very clearly that I do not condemn the act in itself. And the earth grows hotter. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Cogito, ergo ludo.

Calvinism: Games as politics
http://sexybastard.blogspot.com/2008/11/games-as-politics.html
Nam tua res agitur, paries cum proximus ardet. Can gaming be a tool for a progressive, Leftist politics? Some Swedish larpers seem to think so. They have argued that larping can be a means for exploring new subjectivities — new gender roles, for instance — thus putting existing structures in question and open the path for a transformation of society. 8212; closely resembles what anthropologist Victor Turner. But is this really a proper analysis? Doesn't today's hegemonic liberal culture already. Encourag...

Calvinism: April 2007
http://sexybastard.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Nam tua res agitur, paries cum proximus ardet. Oh, and another thing:. There's a classic quote, erroneously attributed to Churchill (like so many others), re: the issue of whether one, in english, may end a sentence with a preposition:. This is the kind of nonsense up with which I will not put". This is the kind of nonsense with which I will not put up". Heist — the RPG. The following is a little funny idea I got while discussing character archetypes with a buddy. The concept is a role-playing game, ...

Calvinism: Manifesto against self improvement
http://sexybastard.blogspot.com/2008/07/manifesto-against-self-improvement.html
Nam tua res agitur, paries cum proximus ardet. Manifesto against self improvement. One's personality, one's — to use some philoso-lingo — subject. The method for achieving this is either psychological, mystical, or both. These methods are born from those two movements so characteristic of the twentieth century; psychoanalysis and New Age. But we shan't let the methods fool us; the true ideological source of self help is none other than capitalism. Or better yet, a thing. The nonspatial, nonmaterial think...

Nam tua res agitur, paries cum proximus ardet. Jag har bestämt mig för att börja blogga på svenska. Jag överger den här bloggen tills vidare. Min nya blogg finns på:. Http:/ kallebergman.wordpress.com/. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The name's Calvino and I rock the telly. I'm half Joe Camel and a third Fonzarelli. I'm the kung fu hippie from gangsta city. I'm a rappin' surfer, you the fool I pity. View my complete profile. Cogito, ergo ludo. I Huvudet På Anders Hällzon. Calvino thinks hes funny.

Calvinism: June 2008
http://sexybastard.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Nam tua res agitur, paries cum proximus ardet. Suddenly, and with great clarity, Calvino realized that two languages aren't enough! He decided to learn a couple more. And to start with French, la langue du amour. Step 1: Buy some crappy book. First of all, I bought a book called "Teach yourself French", the cover of which you can see on your left. (It can be gotten from Amazon.com. Which is good because il y a. Literally means "he has it", so I figure I'd be pretty confused in my further studies otherwise.

Nam tua res agitur, paries cum proximus ardet. The Beauty of Philosophy. Philosophy is one of my little indulgences. I was asked by a friend to explain what i like about philosophy, so here goes:. This leaves us with philosophy in shambles. How is one to pick up the pieces? Where is one to begin rebuilding this once magnificent edifice, queen of sciences? One can start to wonder if it's even worth it. Don't we have all we need in empirical science? Doesn't it provide us with all the knowledge we need?

Calvinism: Languages
http://sexybastard.blogspot.com/2008/09/languages.html
Nam tua res agitur, paries cum proximus ardet. I have recently discovered how much I prefer writing in Swedish to writing in English. This is no less than natural, of course, since Swedish is my first language and English is, at best, a foreign language that I happen to have a rather good grasp on. But there are deeper reasons at work. Reasons profound, almost metaphysical. And I weep for thee, lost child. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The name's Calvino and I rock the telly.
