Arts Professor at NYU Eric Zimmerman in his “Manifesto for a Ludic Century” says..

Like making music, telling stories, and creating images, games are perhaps the first designed interactive system our species invented.

And, in fact (no you can’t make this shit up ) we are entering the Ludic Century which is all well and good until someone chokes on their muesli like ME a bit earlier doing battle with a dodgy Android.

By way of ripost Ian Bogost (no relation) says..

When you think about it, it’s curious to pen a manifesto for a ludic century to come in the twenty-first century, when the manifesto itself was such a staple of twentieth-century thought. The term was certainly in use before then, but the modern manifesto as a written prescription that makes manifest certain principles really starts with the political manifestos of Marx, Engels, Bellegarrigue, and others in the mid-19th century. The artistic manifestos of Symbolism, Futurism, Dadaism, Surrealism, and others followed this lead, proclaiming clear, direct, and unyielding principles for creative practice.

So, perhaps there is one fundamental challenge for the Manifesto for a Ludic Century: would a truly ludic century be a century of manifestos? Of declaring simple principles rather than embracing systems? Or, is the Ludic Manifesto meant to be the last manifesto, the manifesto to end manifestos, replacing simple answers with the complexity of “information at play?”

I have always been suspicious of anyone talking up “manifestos’

a manifesto is a vehicle that allows you to gain power within a group and beat anyone down that questions it.

pwned!!

…It’s all too ludicrous.. just imagine being killed by being squashed between an IceCream Sandwich and a Giant Jellybean.

You’re just pissed off that you didn’t think it up first..

“A manifesto is a published verbal declaration of the intentions, motives, or views of the issuer, be it an individual, group, political party or government. A manifesto usually accepts a previously published opinion or public consensus and/or promotes a new idea with prescriptive notions for carrying out changes the author believes should be made. It often is political or artistic in nature, but may present an individual’s life stance. Manifestos relating to religious belief are generally referred to as creeds.”

I still might have to take a sledge hammer to the dirty green fuckker!!

Anyone else tried to deal with corrupted update 4.2.2?

That is – for GT – P5100

Faaarrrkkk!!

Sorta works for a while and then use powerful reset option but still falls over..

?

If your dodgy Android Tablet has been wrestled back to scratch and gives options..

reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache

Which ones?
