Decent Essays

Isaac saw that all the enemies were coming toward me and he sprinted over to help cover me and then we both ran around the map together. It wasn’t until about round 50 when we both started loosing a lot of health. Then on round 51 the riot shield juggernauts came and we only had one car too. As we both jumped onto the car we had to lay down because if we didn’t then the juggernauts would’ve killed us. We died around wave 77 and decided to play Call of Duty Black Ops I for a little bit. “How about we play a little team Deathmatch?” Isaac questioned. “Naw, I just want to play on Nuketown

    A memorable line from If I Die in a Combat Zone by Tim O’Brien is “The war in Vietnam drifted in and out of human lives, taking them or sparing them like a headless, berserk taxi hack, without evident cause, a war fought for uncertain reasons.” (O’Brien, 138) The ending of this quote particularly reflects the views of Vietnam, which is the specific reason I found this quote memorable. I feel this way because people living during the Vietnam era didn’t see this as a crucial war to be apart of. Even looking back on it in our history classes, there was very little necessity to partake in the Vietnam War.…

To examine, we’ll see an extremely common method seen in FPS’s, such as Doom or Wolfenstein the New Order, a newer method in Dark Souls, and one of the earliest methods of dealing with death through a more modern title, FTL:…
