Learning Challenge

Hey guys!
Today I read an article on

An Underappreciated Key to College Success: Sleep

This article is extremely interesting and honestly pretty helpful 
here is a link to anyone looking to learn about sleeping habits, I seriously recommend this read if you personally are struggling to see the purpose in sleeping correctly.
A very surprising fact that is mentioned In this article is how little colleges really pay attention to the fact that sleep is a huge factor In peoples ability to work hard and pass.
some colleges even offering 24 hour library access, which is almost encouraging all nighters.
a survey taken showed that 60% of people attending college actually want colleges to speak on the importance of sleep and how to manage it.

some facts show that up to 16 hours without sleep actually sees the brain begin to lose function and when that is taken up to 20 hours without sleep a person can act and feel the same as someone who is legally drunk.

This article is in a strange and funny way a good wake up call to those struggling to balance social life college and sleep.
and looks to hopefully influence people into gathering more time for sleep.
this year specifically sleep has been tossed under a bus for me coming home from college and instead of feeling sleepy I stay up Late working or playing games.
but as of late with all the college work coming in I have no time for my own pleasure which sometimes end up in me spending hours working then hours playing and then minutes sleeping (exaggerating but you understand what I mean)
In short get yo sleep you need it !

Mainly cuz i'm extremely tired and sick :) enough of me complaining lets get into it! what was it about?  Story in games and why the hell is it so important. to show why?, the post takes a dive back in time to look at old formats of story and why they worked, in an effort to show us how to make them work for games a relatively new art form. The facts are the facts and funny enough if you look back (nice rhyming there) in time, the change from movie to games seemed really fucking strange and i am pretty sure some people laughed at the idea of movies/stories being shown through games, but you can flip that argument on its head because movies are just advancements of plays. The first attempt to make movies into stories absolutely failed. The camera was set up in the form of a viewer so f...
