Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if what you see isn't the truth? What if what you are currently experiencing is a false reality? You may not see it, but it is there; an alternate reality waiting to be experienced. If you think the idea is only from The Matrix, you are wrong; it's actually in the Bible. Jesus not only talked about it, He lived it and then made a way for us to do it as well. In An Alternate Reality, Chad Gonzales opens up a world many Christians do not realize is possible; a realm of living many thought was reserved only for those in Bible days. Keeping Jesus as the standard and focus, Chad will help you discover not only what this alternate reality is, but also what is possible in it and how to live from it. Get ready for a new normal!

Download or read book Alternate Reality Games and the Cusp of Digital Gameplay written by Antero Garcia and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2017-04-20 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alternate Reality Games (ARGs) challenge what players understand as “real.” Alternate Reality Games and the Cusp of Digital Gameplay is the first collection to explore and define the possibilities of ARGs. Though prominent examples have existed for more than two decades, only recently have ARGs come to the prominence as a unique and highly visible digital game genre. Adopting many of the same strategies as online video games, ARGs blur the distinction between real and fictional. With ARGs continuing to be an important and blurred space between digital and physical gameplay, this volume offers clear analysis of game design, implementation, and ramifications for game studies. Divided into three distinct sections, the contributions include first hand accounts by leading ARG creators, scholarly analysis of the meaning behind ARGs, and explorations of how ARGs are extending digital tools for analysis. By balancing the voices of designers, players, and researchers, this collection highlights how the Alternate Reality Game genre is transforming the ways we play and interact today.

Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered whether or not our destiny is predetermined, or how much of a choice do we really have when it comes to free will in shaping our own lives, especially while society and government continues to limit our circumstances? This book attempts to answer these questions and more. In a world set thousands of years and several millennia in the future, we might find that many problems and issues we face today will persist unless we change the way we look at our world. In the year 3333 A.D. on Planet Zeon, where the sky is no longer the limit, a nonconformist philosopher goes up against all odds to revive the importance of artists in a society filled with laser bolts and launch pads, where original ideas are becoming a rare commodity in the face of fast paced technological mass production. Will commercial materialism dominate ethical values, or can people regain their spiritual independence? If a picture is worth a thousand words then this book might be worth millions. It is a must read for anyone who has ever struggled to be recognized for their artistic integrity in order to survive amidst such a competitive corporate world, dominated by greed. Its for anyone who has ever worked hard for their dreams to come true.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Port Eternity Their names were Lancelot, Elaine, Percivale, Gawain, Mordred, Lynette and Vivien, and they were made people, clone servants who worked aboard The Maid, an anachronistic fantasy of a spaceship. They had no idea of their origins, from those old storytapes of romance, chivalry, heroism and betrayal, until a ripple in the space-time continuum sucked The Maid and her crew into a no-man’s land from which there could be no return, and they were left alone to face a crisis which their ancient prototypes were never designed to master… Wave Without a Shore Freedom was an isolated planet, off the main spaceways and rarely visited by commercial spacers. It wasn’t that Freedom was inhospitable, the problem was that outsiders—tourists and traders—claimed that the streets were crowded with mysterious blue-robed aliens. Native-born humans, however, denied that these aliens existed—until a planetary crisis forced a confrontation between the question of reality and the reality of the question… Voyager in the Night Rafe Murray, his sister Jillian, and Jillian’s husband Paul Gaines, like many other out-of-luck spacers, had come to newly built Endeavor Station to find their future. Their tiny ship, Lindy, had been salvaged from the junk heap, and fitted to mine ore from the mineral-rich rings which circled Endeavor. But their future proved to be far stranger than any of them imagined, when a “collision” with a huge alien vessel provided them with the oddest first contact experience possible!

Download or read book Career Building Through Alternate Reality Gaming written by Meg Swaine and published by The Rosen Publishing Group, Inc. This book was released on 2008-01-15 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alternate Reality Games (ARGs) are computer- and Internet-based "games" (sometimes they're not games at all in a traditional competitive sense) that create virtual environments and self-contained, fully elaborated worlds. The games usually feature an interactive, real-time narrative that involves multiple participants directly with characters, and the action unfolds as a result of participants responses to challenges and puzzles. Participants often form a community of sorts to play the game, coming to strategic decisions and coordinating their responses and actions in the virtual world through media of the actual world, such as telephone, email, snail mail, and the Internet. This book introduces readers to the dazzlingly elaborate, intricate, and wildly imaginative world of ARGs and shows how a career can be forged out of a form of play that is both serious and entertaining, ingenious and imaginative, fun and profitable.

Book excerpt: This book is a series of short stories about people we know in this reality and how they may have turned out in some alternate reality.Most of us are now aware that the universe is a strange beast at the quantum level. Particles can be in more than one place at any time and may act like particles (quanta ) one minute, I use that term loosely, and like waves the next. This strange world opens the possibility that alternate realities that are initially similiar to ours, bud off the reality that we are aware of and that we may never interact with those realities. With a little imagination, why not.Mother Teresa a bank robber? Simon and Garfunkel, musical serial killers? Justin Bieber a rock star? Yasser Arafat the messiah? Yes I like it.And just for good measure some Fairy Tales that we might read to our kids in this reality.Tighten your seatbelt for a journey of mayhem and discovery and let your imagination loose.Fans of Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and Bob Seger or any music of that era will appreciate the humor. My apologies to fans of Simon and Garfunkel, Mother Teresa and anyone else that they could see as being maligned in this book including Justin Bieber, but keep in mind, this is an alternate history and is no reflection on these people in our history.

I was born and raised in Florida to a family of chartered boat captains, my dad was one, and my grandpa was one as well. I spent my life on the sea during school vacation, helping grandpa, and then dad, operate a chartered boat service, in and around the - so called Devils Triangle. And in all my years at sea, I never seem anything unusual - except the occasional giant squid, or breaching whale. Yes, the weather was sometimes unusual, but the coast guard emergency early warning service alerted us in plenty of time to find a safe harbor, where we could ride the storm out. Until something happened to me during a short, shake down, cruise that change my mind about the whole Bermuda Triangle old sailor's stories. This is my personal diary about my adventure.
Download or read book The Pragmatics of Defining Religion written by Platvoet and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-11-13 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume promotes a pragmatic, anti-essentialist and anti-hegemonic approach to the problem of the definition of religion. It argues that definitions of religion are context-bound strategies for pursuing a variety of purposes, extra-academic as well as academic. Religions being immensely varied, complex and multi-functional phenomena, they need to be studied by several academic disciplines from many different perspectives. It is, therefore, legitimate and useful that many definitions of religions are developed. The volume has contributions from scholars in Philosophy of Religion, the Comparative Study of Religions, Anthropology of Religion, Sociology of Religion and Psychology of Religion. It has chapters on the polemics of defining religion in modern contexts, the history of the concept of religion, and the methodology of its definition; it includes several definition proposals.
