Meet Giampaolo Bergamasco. One of the all time greats of World Football and famously known for playing an important role in the midfield in Italy's 2006 World Cup triumph. He also played for Serie A giants Juventus playing in their 1996 Champions League triumph and also being apart of Juventus' Serie A victories in 2002 and 2003. He scored 25 goals for Italy and 50 goals for Juventus and was capped 62 times for Italy and 275 times for Juventus. His greatest
achievement was being crowned European Footballer of the year in 2000.

Since retiring from International and Domestic football, Giampaolo Bergamasco has decided to start a new life in the Second Life world contributing to the newly constructed Space Station and Managing Minds Share(MM Share). Having a lengthy interview process with President Jay and Vice-President Eddy, they thought he was the right man for the job electing him as the main security guard for the Space Station and MM Share. They presented him with a powerful space gun used for protecting the residents from International terrorists from invading the area. He begins his duties tomorrow morning.

For today's class it was our last week to complete our projects. I finally managed to complete the space gun and designed it as a double barrel shot gun style.

After brainstorming as a class which task we would be doing for our Second Life Space Station project, I have decided to design space guns in Second Life. These gun designs range from Pop guns, Pistols, Ray guns, Cosmic guns, Tommy Guns, Rifles, Launchers, Laser guns, Martian guns, Blaster guns, Rocket guns, Atomic Orbiters, Roto Blasters, Police guns, Jet guns, Machine guns,Cannon guns and other guns from Comic book series. I will be mainly using my resource and inspiration from Star Trek and Star Wars since both franchises were globally popular at the time.

By designing space guns enables Second Life residents of the Space Station to have fun shooting each other with different objects. I was thinking with my suggestions I mentioned previously on my blog site, the space guns will be in the main dome. To access the main dome, you have to crack the code in each small colour coded dome to activate the main colour coded switch near the main room to access the room. Once you gain access to the room, there will be a wide range of space guns to choose from.

I might also design space jet packs and transport depending on how I progress with the space guns.

In today's class we started brainstorming what features we would have for our Space station. Some of the features I researched were platforms for the Space station and Space rangers.

Space station platform eg.


Space ranger1

Space ranger2


Space ranger3

Some suggestions I came up with for the Space station story is the small domes surrounding the main dome will each have different colours. Inside those small domes will have main control rooms where you have to crack the code in each colour coded control room to activate the main colour coded switches near the main dome to access the room.

In today's class we learned how to create Pop guns in Second Life and use various objects as bullets. I used cushions, seats and couches as bullets which was quite fun to use. My next task is to research costumes for the Second Life Space Station.

For today's class we learnt about non-linear narratives and were shown examples of Seven Story Shapes by Katherine Phelps. We were also shown an example of a computer-generated cybertext called Eliza and we were given the chance to interact with it. We were then asked to research an Alternate Reality Game of our choice. I chose Never Rest Game which is a new counter-terroism ARG in which players must thwart terrorism by using their own methods against them when they least expect it. The interesting thing about this ARG is that it describes itself as explicitly educational and is more of an Instructional Alternate Reality Game (I-ARG).

Towards the end of the lesson, we watched a movie called Run Lola Run which showed an example of a non-linear story.
