As computer games become more and more like Hollywood productions, the need for good story lines increases Research shows that stories are highly valued by game players, so today's studios and developers need good writers.

Through the insights and experiences of practicing game writers, the book captures a snapshot of the narrative skills employed in today's game industry. This unique collection of practical articles provides the foundations to the craft of game writing. The articles, written by member of the International Game Developer's (IDGA) Game Writer's SIG, detail aspects of the process from the basics of narrative and non-linear narrative to writing comedy for games and creating compelling characters. Throughout the articles there is a strong emphasis on the skills developers and publishers will expect a game writer to have. The book is suitable for both beginners and experienced writers, and is a detailed guide to all the techniques of game writing.

Can we know something without being aware that we know it? How does someone with severe amnesia still recognize himself in the mirror? How are we able to erase a traumatic event from our memory? And, how, at only three pounds (80 percent of which is only water), does the human brain give rise to consciousness? How is it capable of outstripping the computational and storage capacities of the most complex computer?

To many of us, the human brain is a mystery. To Shannon Moffett, a Stanford medical student, and to the experts she’s interviewed, it is an irresistible enigma. Moffett takes us down the halls of neuroscience to the front lines of cutting-edge research and medicine to meet some of today’s most extraordinary minds, including

• Dr. Roberta Glick, a neurosurgeon who takes us into the operating room to remove a bullet lodged in a patient’s skull;
• Dr. John Gabrieli, a cognitive neuroscientist who illustrates how and where in the brain we experience emotion;
• neuroscientist Dr. Christof Koch, who worked with the late Nobel Laureate Francis Crick and is on a quest to find the cellular basis of consciousness by studying how we see;
• Dr. Robert Stickgold, a pioneer in dream research who shows how waking life influences dreaming life and vice versa.

With illustrations and extraordinary case histories, The Three-Pound Enigma is engaging, enlightening, and thought-provoking..

This detailed, example-driven guide illustrates how much you can do to make written texts more suitable for a global audience. Accompanied by an abundance of clearly explained examples, the Global English guidelines show you how to write documentation that is optimized for non-native speakers of English, translators, and even machine-translation software, as well as for native speakers of English. You'll find dozens of guidelines that you won't find in any other source, along with thorough explanations of why each guideline is useful. The author also includes revision strategies, as well as caveats that will help you avoid applying guidelines incorrectly.

Focusing primarily on sentence-level stylistic issues, problematic grammatical constructions, and terminology issues, this book addresses the following topics: ways to simplify your writing style and make it consistent; ambiguities that most writers and editors are not aware of, and how to eliminate those ambiguities; how to make your sentence structure more explicit so that your sentences are easier for native and non-native speakers to read and understand; punctuation and capitalization guidelines that improve readability and make translation more efficient; and howlanguage technologies such as controlled-authoring software can facilitate the adoption of Global English as a corporate standard.

This text is intended for anyone who uses written English to communicate technical information to a global audience. Technical writers, technical editors, science writers, and training instructors are just a few of the professions for which this book is essential reading. Even if producing technical information is not your primary job function, the Global English guidelines can help you communicate more effectively with colleagues around the world.
