Latinos do have a presence in the online social world, and many US Hispanic bloggers and national organizations were recognized for their effort in representing the best of the best. Among the winners, there was me. Woohoo!
To be recognized as Best Latin Tech Blogger at the 2011 LATISM Conference brought me lots of joy and happiness I have not had in many years. With 3+ years of blogging here on ElMundoTech, almost one year contributing with Impre.com’s Piensa Digital (thanks to Jesús del Toro), some months with WiredLatinos.com (thanks to Irene Martinez-Audet, brb soon), and writing for a weekly newspaper on-and-off for 3 years since 2006 thanks to Rubén Funes (former editor of La Prensa Orlando), I feel so proud about this accomplishment.
Though it’s already late to show this to my father, (he passed away years ago) I do have to thank him for the old days in which we used to sit next to each other to read the newspaper every day during my elementary school days in Lima, Peru. We would not put the newspaper down until we got to read the most interesting news and got to complete most of the 1-page-long crossword puzzle. Had he seen me receiving this award, my dad would have been very proud. He would not bite my ear again (see picture), that’s for sure. After I received the award and went back to my table, the first thing that came to my mind was “Gracias, papá.” I could not avoid a few tears.
Also, as a person who experienced epilepsy since the young age of 3 due to a fall from a stair, I understand how difficult life has been for others with a disability. In the 1970s and 80s and most of the 90s (during the early years of the Internet), it wasn’t easy for people to refer others with reliable information, much less for someone like me to have a voice. Many people did not know anything about epilepsy. That was then, but even today most people may not have a firm or concrete idea. At least we’re all now a click away, and people now can have a voice online, which makes me so proud about what Laurita Tellado is doing with HoldinOutForAHero.com and the Spina Bifida community in Central Florida (¡Hola Laurita y felicitaciones!). Laurita got the Best Latin Health Blogger award! Btw, having graduated from high school and college was not easy at all, yet having worked with students with disabilities (all very knowledgeable about videogames) as a substitute teacher has been an honor and a personal goal to show others that they can finish college or anything else they choose that follows high school.
I’d like to thank everyone at LATISM for letting me do two WordPress 101 workshops, and for the great opportunity to meet awesome and devoted people. I must say “gracias” to Ana Roca-Castro, Elianne Ramos, Reina Valenzuela, Sylvia Aguilera, bloggers, organizations, sponsors, and the rest of the LATISM family for making the conference an excellent event. Thanks to everyone who voted for me as well. Like my dad used to say: “¡Arriba!”

Paradox Interactive: “Crusader Kings II” – ‘Seven Deadly Sins’ Inaugural Live Action Trailer

Inaugural Crusader Kings II Live Action Trailer Released
The Seven Deadly Sins of kingship kick off with Wroth
NEW YORK – November 18th, 2011 – Reviving a dark art that hasn’t been seen since the 1990s, Paradox Interactive is pleased to release the first in a series of seven cheerily ramshackle live action trailers for medieval strategy / RPG Crusader Kings II.
Europe is in turmoil. The lands are fragmented into petty fiefs, and the Holy Father has declared war on the Holy Land. Now is the time for greatness, for cunning and for political intrigue. Assuming you’re not the sort of king who thinks “Petty fief” was the name of his high school sweetheart.
“Crusader Kings is my favourite of our grand strategy games,” said Fred Wester, CEO of Paradox. “It takes that addictive core of building something epic, but the building blocks of the world are real people with real lives and real emotions, so your kingdom is always this entertainingly wobbly, teetering construct. There’s not enough teetering in strategy these days. Anyway, that same focus on personalities makes it perfect for a live action trailer.”
“Why did the live-action trailer ever die out, anyway? Actors are classy. Especially British actors. They’re the classiest and snottiest of all. We’re hoping that, through exposure to British actors, our game will absorb some of that snot.” Fredrik Wester continued.
“It’s a metaphor,” explained Quintin Smith, ex-Rock Paper Shotgun writer and author of the trailers. “In an ironic play on our perceptions, the King is a manifestation of all of us, while his servants represent the ruling elite. That their positions are reversed is a reflection of these modern times. The trailers are actually themed around the seven deadly sins, for reasons too scholarly to go into here, but we start with wroth. That’s the old English word for wrath. That’s the kind of thing we know, here at Paradox. We’re very high-functioning.”
“Also, we’ve got some knob jokes in one of the later ones,” added Quintin.
Crusader Kings II, is slated for a launch on February 7th 2012 for 39,99 USD.
