Explanation of Previous Shadow Warrior Entry
Briefly, with an explanation of the previous post. No one has asked, and as per usual with a 'Chucky' article, the pageviews are above average for my website articles, in number.
I suppose the previous article demonstrates the improvisational, 'jazz fusion' nature of my thinking and also that of Chucky. I had originally hoped for a longer five minute video article review of Shadow Warrior (1997).
But with all the technical difficulties, it was getting late, in fact early this morning, and it was Chucky's second visit to my condo in a few weeks.
Both times we spent (wasted to us) a lot of time trying to find screen recording software.
Once we found Debut Video Capture, that software sort of worked. It was still requiring many changes in settings. I later edited the video with other new software, once Chucky departed.
The first recordings featured very cracked audio which sounded 1920s like in quality, so as it is a first person shooter game, the idea of statements I had heard from the the 1920s era, about the Great War, came into my head. These of course from seniors in documentaries.
Yes, in regard to the problem of evil, I was also satirically demonstrating the flawed thinking to assume that at that point in history, World War I would be the war to end all wars. The same realm was still in existence.
So,the article connects to my overall website themes.
Never Guess in Academia
On Friday through Skype, a co-worker told me that he/she only earned a 'C' grade on a recent academic paper because according to the professor, the work lacked citations. The content was rated as good, otherwise.
I have informed this friend over the years to always specifically ask the professor what was required in an academic course. Besides asking what the academic standards were for a course, one should in writing, risk providing too many citations as opposed to too few.

I learned this lesson over the years.
My final PhD work from the University of Wales, Trinity Saint David, consisted of ten-twenty citations per page. I have presented in the past some of this work verbatim on the Dr. Russell Norman Murray website, and it is significantly unreadable because of too many citations.
That approach does not work very well in an academic website context.
However:
Never guess in academia.
Know.
Gain knowledge of academic requirements. As much as possible.
