Stardust Speedway 056 - Draft 2.0 is now under way

Well; after tackling both Post Modernism and more research for this paper; Draft Two of Stardust Speedway is now under-way and today I have refined the introduction ready for the re-working of chapter one.

One major difference already is the layout of the document which I have tried to make it more pleasing to the eye by breaking up the chapter with a chapter cover page instead a simple title at the top of the page, hopefully this will make the text and the sometimes difficult subject matter to be absorbed a bit more easily. Also the spell checker of my version of MS work has been reset and is now picking up more mistakes with the spell checker which is always a good thing.

Well; I am pleased on the changes to far but now the best thing to do is go back and keep working away until 2.0 is ready for distribution.

Stardust Speedway 055 - A Trio for the Reading List (Post Modernism Books)

Over the last week; I have been researching Post Modernism for inclusion in my project and I have found some useful texts/journals to add to the pile. Now apart from buying the same book twice by accident, the research I have found is very good and I think it will add to my project.

Also as a Side note to this post, I have finished my read through of the first draft and I have a large list of changes at this point, but it is a good thing as spelling mistakes and wrong formatting could have damaged my grades so I am glad I have a few weeks to change my paper for the better.

I will upload them into my research side bar once I have finished reading them through (so Mondayish I Think)

Stardust Speedway 054 - Stardust Speedway Rejoice......Sonic 4 is here

Well at the beggining of this project; I never thought I would be writing about the following subject matter, but the impossible has happened and Sega are back in my good books; Sonic 4 is going to be released. Now there have been a smorgasbord of Sonic Games released Since Sonic 3 in 1993/94 which have lead to the series staleness in many gamers opinions, so I am glad that Sega are going back to their roots with a direct numerical sequel and more impotently Side Scrolling. But the best thing about this is that the game is going to be released in Episodes which only means one thing, A Sonic game which cannot be completed within the Timeframe of 1-8 Hours which can only be a good thing.

Now mentioning this within my Project could boost the First Chapter when talking about the evolution of the Series and also I get to put aside time to research this title at more length that I have previously, so when I have found enough Information, it could become a worthy inclusion within Chapter One. Also this game has been featured to include Metal Sonic once again who was last seen within Sonic CD and The Movie, so another race along the Stardust Speedway with Sonic's robotic twin will altogether equal A Fanboys Dream

Stardust Speedway 053 - Feedback from my Tutor from my Draft

Well; I met up with my Dissertation tutor Tamara yesterday and I have had a lot of feedback from her about my Draft. She said that I have created a solid first Draft of my project but just needs changing slightly to make it read better and my research to come through a lot clearly.

Also she pointed out that instead of the inclusion of Individualism within the Third chapter could be tied in with Post Modernism which until now avoided me but I think that It would be a worthy inclusion within my Project, which brings one good question. Instead of being a social system of sorts, Post Modernism is more of course the events post the popularity of Modernism which in turn means Modern Thought, so to include this within my project would give it a slight twist in my opinion.

The final deadline for this project is within the next five weeks; so the final thing will be finished within the next three weeks; so keep here for updates of how the second and final drafts are coming.
