Pac Saver

Para los nostálgicos de los videojuegos arcade, Tony Docherty creó en 1999 el PacSaver, un protector de pantalla que permite no sólo visualizar sino jugar tanto Pacman como Ms. Pacman, los legendarios juegos de creados por la compañía Midway. Primero es necesario bajar el archivo comprimido pacsaver.zip y descargar su contenido en una carpeta cualquiera y entonces ejecutar su programa setup.exe. Se van a instalar varios archivos en la carpeta windows/system32 incluyendo ssPacSaver.scr, ahí mismo es necesario ubicar los archivos pacman.rom y mspacman.rom (contenidos respectivamente en pacman.zip y mspacman.zip). Cabe señalar que ambos archivos rom deben quedar ubicados en la carpeta windows/system32, de lo contrario aparecerá un error ("cannot find pacman.rom"). En las propiedades de pantalla se selecciona el protector "pacsaver" pudiendo elegirse pacman, mspacman o modo aleatorio. Cuando aparezca el protector de pantalla (tarda algunos segundos en inicializarse, tal como sucedía en la máquinas de arcade) se oprime la tecla 3 para depositar monedas o fichas (créditos) y luego se puede seleccionar 1 ó 2 jugadores (con las teclas 1 y 2 respectivamente). Aunque carece de sonido, el protector de pantalla resulta altamente entretenido, pues emula perfectamente tanto Pacman como MsPacman. Funciona con Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP.

La Frontera del Miedo

La Frontera del Miedo (Frontière(s) 2007) es un filme de horror escrito y dirigido por Xavier Gens, estelarizada por Karina Testa, Aurélien Wiik y Patrick Ligardes. Una pandilla de hijos de inmigrantes aprovecha el caos en los suburbios de París para robar una importante suma de dinero. Uno de los pandilleros resulta herido de bala y muere al llegar al hospital. El resto de la banda (tres hombres y una mujer) decide huir de la ciudad. Los primeros en abandonar París son dos varones, quienes llegan a un remoto hostal administrado por una familia de alemanes avecindados en la campiña francesa. Después de sostener relaciones sexuales con dos de las mujeres de la familia germana, son atacados por un par de alemanes y al tratar de huir caen al fondo de una mina abandonada. Posteriormente llegan al hostal Yasmine (Karina Testa) y su ex-novio, quienes también son atacados y encadenados en una mazmorra del sótano del hostal. Yasmine logra escapar de los alemanes, encabezados por un viejo oficial nazi. Los germanos resultan ser caníbales, quienes asesinan a sus visitantes y conservan sus cuerpos en un frigorífico para consumirlos posteriormente. Los varones de la pandilla terminan siendo asesinados por los alemanes, pero Yasmine decide defenderse y luchar por su vida, dando lugar a una encarnizada lucha donde contará con el apoyo de un miembro de la familia caníbal.

La Frontera del Miedo resulta una eficaz película gore, cuyo argumento posee elementos del Despertar del Diablo (algunas personas terminan siendo alimento de otros siniestros personajes) y Hostal (un hotel resulta el centro de secuestro y asesinato de personas). La mayor virtud radica en sus efectos especiales y sus explícitas escenas de violencia, aunque su historia es bastante predecible. Sólo para fans del género.

why dark ?

Ruprecht von Kaufmann

....because the brighter a light shines, the more darkness it reveals

Unfortunately there can be no doubt that man is, on the whole, less good than he imagines himself or wants to be. Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and denser it is. If an inferiority is conscious, one always has a chance to correct it. Furthermore, it is constantly in contact with other interests, so that it is continually subjected to modifications. But if it is repressed and isolated from consciousness, it never gets corrected.
"Psychology and Religion" (1938). In CW 11: Psychology and Religion: West and East. P.131

How else could it have occurred to man to divide the cosmos, on the analogy of day and night, summer and winter, into a bright day-world and a dark night-world peopled with fabulous monsters, unless he had the prototype of such a division in himself, in the polarity between the conscious and the invisible and unknowable unconscious? Primitive man's perception of objects is conditioned only partly by the objective behaviour of the things themselves, whereas a much greater part is often played by intrapsychic facts which are not related to the external objects except by way of projection. This is due to the simple fact that the primitive has not yet experienced that ascetic discipline of mind known to us as the critique of knowledge. To him the world is a more or less fluid phenomenon within the stream of his own fantasy, where subject and object are undifferentiated and in a state of mutual interpenetration.
"Psychological Aspects of the Mother Archetype" (1939) In CW 9, Part 1: The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious. P. 187

The hero's main feat is to overcome the monster of darkness: it is the long-hoped-for and expected triumph of consciousness over the unconscious. The coming of consciousness was probably the most tremendous experience of primeval times, for with it a world came into being whose existence no one had suspected before. "And God said, 'Let there be light"' is the projection of that immemorial experience of the separation of consciousness from the unconscious.
"The Psychology of the Child Archetype" (1940). In CW 9, Part I: The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious. P.284

If you imagine someone who is brave enough to withdraw all his projections, then you get an individual who is conscious of a pretty thick shadow. Such a man has saddled himself with new problems and conflicts. He has become a serious problem to himself, as he is now unable to say that they do this or that, they are wrong, and they must be fought against. He lives in the "House of the Gathering." Such a man knows that whatever is wrong in the world is in himself, and if he only learns to deal with his own shadow he has done something real for the world. He has succeeded in shouldering at least an infinitesimal part of the gigantic, unsolved social problems of our day.
"Psychology and Religion" (1938). In CW 11: Psychology and Religion: West and East. P.140

Taking it in its deepest sense, the shadow is the invisible saurian tail that man still drags behind him. Carefully amputated, it becomes the healing serpent of the mysteries. Only monkeys parade with it.
The Integration of the Personality. (1939).

Denial

Denial is a defense mechanism' postulated by Sigmund Freud, in which a person is faced with a fact that is too uncomfortable to accept and rejects it instead, insisting that it is not true despite what may be overwhelming evidence.

Types of Denial

Denial of fact: This form of denial is where someone avoids a fact by lying. This lying can take the form of an outright falsehood (commission), leaving out certain details in order to tailor a story (omission), or by falsely agreeing to something (assent, also referred to as "yesing" behavior). Someone who is in denial of fact is typically using lies in order to avoid facts that they think may be potentially painful to themselves or others.

Denial of responsibility: This form of denial involves avoiding personal responsibility by blaming, minimizing or justifying. Blaming is a direct statement shifting culpability and may overlap with denial of fact. Minimizing is an attempt to make the effects or results of an action appear to be less harmful than they may actually be. Justifying is when someone takes a choice and attempts to make that choice look okay due to their perception of what is "right" in a situation. Someone using denial of responsibility is usually attempting to avoid potential harm or pain by shifting attention away from themselves.

Denial of impact: Denial of impact involves a person avoiding thinking about or understanding the harms their behavior have caused to themselves or others. By doing this, that person is able to avoid feeling a sense of guilt and it can prevent that person from developing remorse or empathy for others. Denial of impact reduces or eliminates a sense of pain or harm from poor decisions.

Denial of awareness: This type of denial is best discussed by looking at the concept of state dependent learning. People using this type of denial will avoid pain and harm by stating they were in a different state of awareness (such as alcohol or drug intoxication or on occasion mental health related). This type of denial often overlaps with denial of responsibility.

Denial of cycle: Many who use this type of denial will say things such as, "it just happened." Denial of cycle is where a person avoids looking at their decisions leading up to an event or does not consider their pattern of decision making and how harmful behavior is repeated. The pain and harm being avoided by this type of denial is more of the effort needed to change the focus from a singular event to looking at preceding events. It can also serve as a way to blame or justify behavior (see above).

Denial of denial: This can be a difficult concept for many people to identify in themselves, but is a major barrier to changing hurtful behaviors. Denial of denial involves thoughts, actions and behaviors which bolster confidence that nothing needs to be changed in one's personal behavior. This form of denial typically overlaps with all of the other forms of denial, but involves more self-delusion.
