The game "Metal Gear Solid 3", a prequel in the Metal Gear franchise, is set in a time of fear and uncertainty in the face of a potentially devastating future. A time when the American people feared destruction everyday from a threat that they could not see. This was the reality of the Cold War, a war that was fought with information and espionage. Other war games of the time were based in famous battles and bloodshed, but "Metal Gear Solid 3" based itself in an unseen war, using its darkness to…
Within the past decade, the term tacky went from something that you would avoid at all cost when it came to fashion to something you sought to achieve. Well, perhaps it would be best to quantify that statement just a bit. Not just tacky in a general sense but a tacky Christmas sweater. Yep, not only have the hideous monstrosities that we all either hid in the back of our closets or donated to our local charities made a comeback, they have even made their way onto the shelves of high end retails…
Every once in awhile, you get the opportunity to attend something special, emotional and lasting. Last week I attended the 19th Annual Music Master Awards/ Conference/Tribute Concert for The Everly Brothers. I will cherish and remember the conference but especially the concert forever. When I think about it today I have two distinct emotions, joy and a tear. At the conference we saw some very rare footage of The Everly Brothers, film clips from Germany and England not seen by my many until…
Coming to America and adjusting to a new culture was not easy for me or for many people who move completely to a strange country, especially when there is a language barrier. The reason why it was difficult the cultural thing in America, learning the new language, learn how you can travel from place to place not knowing people around you was very difficult to handle. Especially where I grow up everyone knows each other we all one community. To come from that culture back ground and to see how in…
from home my uncle who rarely watches the news knows what I have to be afraid of at school. I am a freshman here at Grand Valley State. I was most definitely an independent person before I left for college, exploring areas of my city I’d never seen and getting to know all sorts of people throughout high school. Little did I know I’d have this feeling of independence ripped away from…

Evaluative GTA V, Dark Souls and Counter-Strike There are many kinds of new games will show us in every year. Some of the games will be very popular but other games are not good. Therefore, I am going to evaluate three games, they are Grand Theft Auto V, Dark Souls III, and Counter-Strike. I am going to evaluate their image quality, Storylines and degree of freedom. First, image quality is very important to decide the game is good or bad. “Image quality is an important component of visual…
I’m bathed in neon, green spilling through the leaves above my head. The color comes not from lights or signs but from sunlight pouring its hot rays down upon the Canadian forest. I’m sweating, beads of liquid streaking down my dirty face. Every other second I hear the buzz of incoming mosquitos like tiny fighter jets preparing for an airstrike, thrumming. The trail beneath my damp sneakers is compact despite the previous days’ rains. My watch beeps, and I fish it out of my breast pocket…
What’s the difference between “Grand Theft Auto V” (GTA V) and boxing? For starters, GTA V is a video game, and boxing is a competitive sport. One side is influenced by money, weapons, sex, and drugs. The other is influenced by physical brutality and roaring chants of spectators. Both of these two have their differences, but one thing that they primarily share is violence. Statistics show that GTA V was a record breaking video game seller – having sold over 34 million copies. It was also one of…
Every type of media goes through the same rigorous process any time something new is released. It is evaluated over and over on it 's corruption on society and eventually but not always followed by acceptance. The particular type of media I would like to explore is video games. Even though movies and televisions series show sex and violence, video games get the viewer involved and encourage them to make risky choices for their characters. Video games have been around since the Creation of…
