Mr. Bree (Adventure + Platform + Philosophical Game) (Submitted by Mind Erasure)
www.kongregate.com/games/TawStudio/mr-bree-returning-home
Useful Content Area - Philosophy + Argumentation
Demographic of the learner - Game is for teens and up. Since the game is hosted on Kongregate, where foul language is sometimes used, the nature of the hosting site requires the game audience to be a bit older. Also, the game itself requires some basic logical skills (such as how much damage points can the hero take before death?)
What would you use it for? - For teaching argumentation, in terms of asking students to identify the minor claims, and what major claim (thesis statement) do the minor claims support (it’s existentialism again, yay~)
How would you use it? I would let students play this in class, and then write a paper identifying the arguments in the game.
NOTE: I couldn't do a screenshot of the game in action, because the game would show a pause screen every time I try to capture a screenshot. This image comes from the promo video for Mr. Bree

* Naguib Mahfouz | Egypt | by Tamer Youssef | Pencil Sketch on Bristol Paper | Cairo | Egypt | 2002 | Tamer Youssef's Caricature World *
Naguib Mahfouz (December 11, 1911 – August 30, 2006) was an Egyptian novelist who won the 1988 Nobel Prize for Literature. He is regarded as one of the first contemporary writers of Arabic literature, along with Tawfiq el-Hakim, to explore themes of existentialism.
Fuzz & Pluck: Splitsville tells the hilariously bizarre adventures of Pluck, an irritable and featherless rooster, and his best pal, the awkwardly unsocialized but lovable teddy bear known as Fuzz. These two usually inseparable and co-dependent misfits find themselves suddenly separated and alone. Pluck vows to establish his place in the world's pecking order by becoming a champion gladiator, while the more demure Fuzz finds himself a POW in a stuffed animal collection, only to escape and befriend a mercurial ferryman who recruits him for an impossible task. These absurdities pile on and eventually converge in a fatal collision course that reunites our heroes.
Fuzz & Pluck is an odd, and unusually original graphic novel, a "funny animal" comic that is surprisingly human. Rich with pathos, wit, farce, existentialism and drama, often cruel, always funny, this superficially ridiculous struggle for survival is an Alice in Wonderland for grown-ups that reaches absurdly delightful heights. As Simpsons creator Matt Groening says, "This epic tale of a hapless li'l bear and his defeathered friend is why I love comics. All hail the peculiar Fuzz & Pluck and their creator, Ted Stearn!"
Ted Stearn is longtime storyboard artist for animation. Fuzz & Pluck is the author's most personal work, showcasing his vivid imagination and meticulous draughtsmanship.

IFLY - LXXX You III.
One night art performance. Music and dancing. Fun for all.
In this mix of musical mayhem and merriment is the ongoing performance by Erin Vaiskauckas, "Embrace which requires group participation.
Saturday, Feb 10, 6-10pm
Here is the serious:
- LXXX YOU is a rotating group of artists and friends founded by Mike Stasny and George Long. Prompted by party motifs and the parody of human life, LXXX YOU's performance and installation work lampoons social experiences by inviting viewers into a surreal world. Primarily working as hyper-real costumed DJ’s, LXXX YOU has provided entertainment for the Hambidge Auction, the opening of Ponce City Market, Burnaway Auction, Zuckerman Museum of Art, Eide Magazine Anniversary Party, MOCA GA, Marcia Wood Gallery, Sandler Hudson Gallery, WonderFarm, and Atlanta Contemporary Art Center’s ART PARTY.
Here is the fun:
Who likes potato chips? EVERYONE! You wanna hide your apple jack in a stack of grilled cheese sandwiches? You wanna read a book on the history of existentialism while YouTube-ing vintage Energizer battery commercials? Yeah! I know! Life is NEAT! We have all been there...
Listen... Let's get serious... Eating Cookie Crisp is a REAL thing and nothing beats what's REAL.
If you want FREE DUMB.
If you want INDIE PEN DANCE.
If you want to continue the life you are living but without the self hate and need to put your "no no" in the "downstairs" of a manatee... Join us? No questions asked. We've all been there. Put a battery in this...Please, can I charge my cell phone in that... Fu*#... I just broke a guitar string and my dad don't know nuthin' about rocking hard dead center. We ALL want to take a fun time special shower with hot people. We all want to know, "Where did my pants go?" Shoot man, just last week I put an umbrella in my mouth and opened it up. WAIT A SEC... Didn't I meet you at that party? See you soon... lets do this again... No problem.
WE, LXXX YOU

located in the former Nikolaj Church at Nikolaj Plads in the centre of Copenhagen and functions as the city's exhibition space for contemporary art.
Not sure what Kierkegaard's relationship to this Gothic church was but I was interested in how a contemporary art museum inheres its authority from religious structures.
This was the current show at the time (10/09) displayed in this photo

Jaroslav Rona
author Kafka was born in Prague
From the guidebook -
"This interesting metal statue by sculptor Jaroslav Rona is based on a vivid description that appears in Franz Kafka's early short story "Description of a Struggle." Kafka wrote of a young man riding on another man's shoulders through the streets of Prague. In Rona's work, that figure is Kafka himself sitting astride a headless man. "
This bronze statue was unveiled in December 2003. It
stands next to the Spanish Synagogue in Prague's Jewish Quarter

While paying tremendous amounts of attention today in "The History of Existentialism" I doodled out this non-lining, mostly sans-serif set of numerals on some Kierkegaard. I am quite fond of the little guys. Does anyone know of a font with a numeral set that lines like this?

Le Cimetière du Montparnasse, Paris, France
I headed south to le Cimetière Montparnasse. After the Paris churchyards closed in the 18th century, a full three quarters of a century before the English closed their urban churchyards, four great cemeteries were laid out to the north, east, south and west of the city. Pere Lachaise is the most famous, Montmartre the most aesthetically pleasing, but Montparnasse probably the most interesting. I spent about three hours and three hundred photographs pottering about. Some of the famous graves are easy to find because they are well documented, and visitors have placed tributes on them. For example, the first grave I went in search of, Samuel Beckett's, has metro tickets placed on it by visitors as a mark of having waited for something.
I already knew where Beckett's grave was, but two others in the same section were more difficult, as I did not have exact locations. I eventually found the grave of Phillipe Noiret, an actor I very much admired particularly for his role in my favourite film, Cinema Paradiso, but also for his role in Le Cop, which has criminally never had a DVD release with English subtitles. There were no public tributes on it, merely a plaque from his wife saying 'pour mon Cher Philippe' and a picture of a horse. While I was photographing it, four gendarmes, two men and two women, passed behind me and came across to see why I was photographing it. "Noiret!" exclaimed one of the men, and then "mais pourquoi le cheval?" wondered one of the women. But they didn't stop for me to explain, for I had read an article about Noiret about fifteen years previously in a copy of La Nouvelle Observateur while staying in a hotel in Boulogne, and I knew that he had bred horses in his spare time.
The other grave I had hoped to find in this section was that of Susan Sontag, but I couldn't track it down.
The joint headstone of Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir is easily found by the main entrance, and I thought it rather sweet that they were remembered together. Despite all their efforts for existentialism and feminism, it was like a headstone in a quiet English churchyard which might have 'reunited' or 'together in eternity' inscribed on it. I think he wasn't pleasant company, and while she was certainly more intelligent than he was she made intellectual arrogance respectable. I photographed their headstone more out of interest than admiration.
Admiration was at the heart of my search for a gravestone lost in sections 6 and 7 which I think is not found often. It is for the surrealist photographer Man Ray. I was delighted to find it after barely 20 minutes searching. He designed it himself, and in his own handwriting into the cement it says 'unconcerned, but not indifferent', which could be taken as rebuff to Satre and his circle I suppose. Charmingly, beside it like the other half of a book is a photograph of him with his wife and the inscription 'Juliet Man Ray 1911-1991, together again'. Enough to leave De Beauvoir spluttering into her Pernod.

PH: Lilia Pereira Fotografías
Serie analógica, toma directa, Año 2003/2004
"El Alma de la Ausente" nace como un proyecto expositivo que va mas allá de la mera exhibición de imágenes religiosas. La obra pretende una reflexión hacia ciertos temas introspectivos, tales como la muerte, el juego de los dobles, el trauma, el placer, lo sagrado, el vacío, la metamorfosis, etc.
Estas fotografías dialogan tácitamente con una de las obras mas grandes del cine sueco "Det sjumde inseglet", 1957, (El séptimo sello) de Ingmar Bergman. El cine de Bergman siempre se caracterizó por la introspección y el tratamiento de los temas que mas afectan al ser humano. En "El séptimo sello" se expresa el existencialismo, la eterna búsqueda del ser humano por darle sentido a su vida, la vida, la muerte y todo lo que ello conlleva.
"El Alma de la Ausente" intenta plantear la ambigüedad de los temas antes mencionados, como característica principal, proponiendo al espectador que apele a su subjetividad para conectarse con lo mas oculto de su ser. Lilia Pereira.
Series analog, direct, Year 2003/2004
"The Soul of the Absent" was created as an exhibition project that goes beyond the mere display of religious images. The book is intended to reflect certain introspective themes such as death, the game of doubles, the trauma, pleasure, the sacred, the vacuum metamorphosis, and so on.
These photographs tacit dialogue with one of the greatest works of Swedish film "Det sjumde inseglet", 1957, (The Seventh Seal) Ingmar Bergman. Bergman's films are always characterized by introspection and treatment of the issues that most affect humans. In "The Seventh Seal" is expressed existentialism, the eternal human quest to make sense of life, life, death and everything that entails.
"The Soul of the Absent" attempts to raise the ambiguity of the aforementioned issues, as its main feature, offering the viewer that appeals to their subjectivity to connect with the most secret of your being. Lilia Pereira.
