Suppose you start a game in which you will be dropped on an unknown, and rather blocky, premises without warning. You look around you, but can not immediately discover something useful. In fact, you have nothing with you again! What do you do for God's sake! And why is there no tutorial that tells what is meant! What is this bad, bad game? This time in Games and Philosophy: Why Jose Ortega y Gasset love to play Minecraft.
Tutorials. Every game they should have, because it is almost required by law that you do not unknowingly drops a gamer in a game world. A game should nowadays not ask too much of the player. A game should be especially tasty road games [free-flash-games.net], make sure that you take some time to spend a pleasant experience. Minecraft is the perfect example of a game that completely broke with this tradition, you will be dropped into your Lego environment and yes, that's pretty much it.

I remember what it was like to play. Also my favorite genre was flash adventures [free-flash-games.net] and RPG games. The beta version of Minecraft I walked around, it was night and I was killed by hissing, heavy explosive, running cucumbers. My first thought: what is the purpose of hell? Why is this explained?
The first time I played Minecraft,'s been a while ago. And if you have time, looking for answers, just googled the game, then you got to see that roughly two categories could be divided messages: 1) WHAT A KUTGAME! And 2) How does this work?

Minecraft jevolledig threw into the deep. With literally nothing to pocket the game drops in an unknown and hostile world. What should you do? That is not reported. Can you do something?Yes, the world of Minecraft is ramvol with possibilities! But how do I find out what can i do? That you may see for yourself! That was a very strange approach to a 'modern' game.

Although many people immediately drop to the lack of explanation, there may well be a philosopher could be that the game would be even disposed towards his unknown stage a warm heart: Jose Ortega y Gasset. Minecraft would namely be quite a good way to Mass Gamer agree to educate!
Ortega y Gasset wrote, besides a lot of other work, "The revolt of the masses". No, that has nothing to do with Warcraft, but all with the mass man . Ortega y Gasset published work in 1930als book after it had been published in 1929 in El Sol , a Spanish newspaper, as a series of texts. In the work Ortega y Gasset marks the birth of the "mass man" on. Mass Man was born around the turn of the twentieth century, in an age when so much was suddenly possible. In particular, the emerging mass media showed everyone what was happening in the world, and what was possible.

In particular, the view of the opportunities made Mass hungry man: he got a lot of wishes, and that had to be all fulfilled. In part this was possible because of new manufacturing many goods could be produced in bulk. Thus, goods that previously were only for the elite, were suddenly available to the general people.
Note that the mass man is not bound to a particular class or origin, they came, and come in all walks of life. It is not the desire for goods, which makes the Mass Man is so dangerous. No, it is the assumption of the mass man that all he wants, even if obviously arranged for him is going to be.How this is exactly how it all works is not interesting. It is the Mass Man being able to satisfy his needs: better yesterday than today.

Besides that the paint has fully Mass Man on the background of the story, the effort that has gone into the most obvious things, there is a much greater danger: they are many, many. An important feature of the Mass Man is that he is like the others. He wants what the others want, and others want what he wants. The Mass Man is not an individual but a flow of averages.
