For the first one, I quickly discovered a super easy way to cheese it and end the fight quickly, and the guy subsequently commented on me fighting without honor for doing so. For example you can destroy the little robots that are sent out to give you exposition dialogue, and there seems to be unique things to go for with the stage bosses at least. I'm not sure what the consequences are, if there are any, but there seems to be a few things you can do which the game makes notice of. So as of what I've seen so far, no notion of a 1CC clear, though it feels like it is built with one in mind, and I'm curious to see what will be unlocked after the first clear. It has a few secrets to go for, and it doesn't seem to have a lives system as such, at least not playing on Normal Mode. It really feels like a game designed specifically for me and my tastes. The level design is nice, and the enemies are very well designed, with some good ideas thrown in. The sword slash is short but precise, and feels good, most zakos go down in one hit. It's a bit more platforming focused (think Shatterhand or Mega Man) but it has the right elements. It's not ninja gaiden to the core, but never pretended to be that either. I've only just quickly gone through the first two stages (each stage is fairly substantial with both a boss and a miniboss), and so far I can already tell it's hitting all the right notes for me.

A clown most serious: Patch Adams. International Journal of Play, 2(3), 163–173.I think this game deserves its own thread now that it's out. Adams criticized the film for inaccurate representation of his activism and for solely focusing on commercializing the cause. In 1998, the film “Patch Adams” starring Robin Williams debuted.

The construction of a teaching center started in 2011 with the hopes of achieving the dream of having a free communal hospital in a community ecovillage combined with a teaching center. Hence, the Gesundheit Institute launched in 2007 a fundraising to build Patch Adams Teaching Center and Clinic in Pocahontas County, West Virginia. However, building a hospital requires a huge non-existing budget. In 1997, Patch focused his work to get the free dream hospital built. Patch highlighted the fact that one cannot separate the health of the individual from the health of the family, community, society and the world. Patch believes that hospitals should be a combination of learning and caring nested in an intentional community, where healing is not a business transaction but a loving human exchange, friendship and mutual interdependence. The school supports participants in imagining and designing a system for a society different from the current one.Īnother aspect of society that needed reframing and reclaiming is the concept of hospitals. The mission of the school is to teach those who want to change society through desire, design and composition. SDaS is now the educational wing of the Gesundheit’s Institute. In parallel, Patch has discovered his passion for teaching after becoming a student for the School for Designing a Society (SDaS). Since then, the Gesundheit’s Global Outreach institute organizes multiple yearly humanitarian clowning trips to visit hospitals, orphanages and elderly homes in war zones, refugee camps and natural disaster sites. In 1984, Patch Adams organized the first international humanitarian clown trip to the Soviet Union. The hospital ran for 12 years until they ran out of funding in 1983. They cared for the health of the staff as much they cared for the health of the patients. They combined medicine with performance arts, arts and crafts, nature, agriculture, education, recreation and social services. The practicing doctors at the hospital integrated all the healing arts. The institute ran as a free community hospital from a communal home where initial interviews with patients took 3 to 4 hours. He founded Gesundheit institute with a group of twenty of his friends following six foundational principles.

However, at the age of 18, he decided to make a love revolution instead of ending his life and he decided to serve humanity.įollowing his graduation from Medical College of Virginia in 1971, “Patch” Adams envisioned a free, full-scale hospital and health care eco-community. He was repetitively hospitalized in his late teens for wanting to end his life.

He was bullied and became actively suicidal. He was critical of racism, violence and injustice. As a child and young teen, Patch was a nerdy strange kid. He considers himself as an activist for peace, justice and care for all people.
