Entertainment Evolution: July 2010
http://entertainment-evolution.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 7, 2010. Maturing forms of entertainment. There are countless forms of entertainment in the world. As times change, some new ones emerge, some transform to something very different than what they used to be, some gain more popularity and some may wither away or even practically disappear. And of even not so well-known older movies can also be seen as an evidence of the maturity. From the early 1960's:. And here is the newer Outer limits series introduction from the late 90's:.

Entertainment Evolution: January 2011
http://entertainment-evolution.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 16, 2011. Stories about oppressed, yet superior men. What do The Matrix. And the Book of Eli. All four movies have a dystopian setting, where the protagonist has to constantly face either violence or oppression if not both. Yet once determined, the protagonist has the power to kick everyone's ass at will, do it with foes simultaneously attacking and often even against guns - all this to a supernatural extent. Does it always make sense? No Is it entertaining? Ethan Hawke in Gattaca.

Entertainment Evolution: Time travel stories that make sense?
http://entertainment-evolution.blogspot.com/2012/09/time-travel-stories-that-make-sense.html
Thursday, September 27, 2012. Time travel stories that make sense? I've always liked time travel movies. The whole concept itself is fascinating, and like with sci-fi in general, the stories are often quite different from each other, which makes them memorable. Even though many of these movies are quite entertaining, the logic in them almost never stands any closer look. Three very different time travel movies - Time Machine (2002), Looper (2012) and Primer (2004). Examples: The Time Machine (2002).

Wednesday, December 29, 2010. How to motivate more miniseries? On the local television there was just a rerun of the miniseries The Lost Room. But even so, series like this are prone to either wither away and end up being much worse than they were in the beginning (like with Prison Break. Or experience a relatively sudden and thus at least somewhat unsatisfying ending : for example 24. So how to motivate producers to make miniseries? I think it's a pity really.

Entertainment Evolution: Why Touch doesn't touch
http://entertainment-evolution.blogspot.com/2012/10/why-touch-doesnt-touch.html
Monday, October 22, 2012. Why Touch doesn't touch. One of the new television series this year, Touch. So it's a fantasy mixed with international stories. It could be interesting, right? Well, I think it fails badly. Here are four reasons why:. The boy doesn't only predict the future. He also predicts the consequences of his foreseeing, which makes him omniscient to a point where nothing really matters. Is it to try to hide the fact how simple and uncreative the clue actually was? The foreign characters s...

Entertainment Evolution: November 2012
http://entertainment-evolution.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 23, 2012. A game in one week". I made another very small game called "A game in one week". It was made for a tiny contest, where the only idea was to make a game in a week. I thought that the only proper way to participate would be to take it literally, so the game is really about going through the phases of developing a game. Try the game on Newgrounds.

Entertainment Evolution: My games
http://entertainment-evolution.blogspot.com/p/my-games.html
Down below there's a list of the games I've made so far, starting from the most recent one. I also have a separate site for my games at www.densegames.net. A bit more elaborate and polished game with an experimental idea. The game combines platformer gameplay and action with a arithmetics-based puzzle mechanic resulting in a pretty unique game experience. A simple game made for the 2013 Game Jam - probably to be ported for mobile devices. See the early trailer here. A game in one week. My first published...

Valmis maa: Vapaaehtoinen vero ja sen seuraukset
http://valmismaa.blogspot.com/2014/02/vapaaehtoinen-vero-ja-sen-seuraukset.html
Sunnuntai 23. helmikuuta 2014. Vapaaehtoinen vero ja sen seuraukset. Robert Janssonin HS:n mielipidepalstalla muutama viikko sitten esille nostama ajatus vapaaehtoisesta verosta herätti jonkin verran keskustelua. Jotkut puolsivat, jotkut viittasivat muutenkin olemassaoleviin hyväntekeväisyys-mahdollisuuksiin, ja veroprofessorit pitivät HS:n mukaan ajatusta ongelmallisena tai "aikuisviihteenä" (kts. "lisävero sisältäisi kolme ongelmaa". Oimisivatko lisäverot eräänlaisena imagonkiillotuksena, jolla "hyvä v...

Perjantai 28. marraskuuta 2014. Kehitysaskeleita 7 - Tasa-arvoinen avioliitto. Pride-kulkue San Fransciscossa 24.6.2012. Eduskunta on äänestänyt tänään tasa-arvoista avioliittolakia puoltavasti. Tämä johtanee lähiaikoina lain hyväksymiseen, mikä tarkoittaisi sitä, että pian saman sukupuolen edustajat voivat mennä keskenään naimisiin. Muutos edistää tasa-arvoa ja suvaitsevaisuutta, ja on siten selvä kehitysaskel suomalaiselle yhteiskunnalle. Klikkaa tästä lukeaksesi koko jutun. Ruotsissa on yleisenä käytä...
