Role-playing game

grew up playing soccer. On my father’s side of the family my uncles as well as my father were fanatics of the sport. Both my father and my uncles raised my siblings, cousins, and myself to play and love the sport. Soccer was an intense sport in my family; we would get together and have scrimmages usually once or twice a week against ourselves or other teams. I also had soccer practice on weekday evenings and games Saturday mornings. Soccer helped me get fit as a child, before I began playing…

There are many athletes in the world that enjoy playing sports. Athletes usually start young and developed a strong passion for the sport. The athletes in today’s generation are overwhelmed with much more than their sport. They have to worry about other priorities like school, family, and free time but many athletes do not have the satisfaction of enjoying a normal life. Many people in today’s society are athletes; the effects of being an athlete include time consumption, stress, and building…

Team A, there is a Team B who wants to defeat it and in essence that is how sport rivalries are born. While exploring through research of the Eastern United States, strong evidence stuck out that sports rivalries in these communities played a large role in how they were shaped. Furthermore, Appalachian communities thrive off of sports rivalries and within those rivalries the communities unify and become stronger. In particular, the film We Are Marshall precisely demonstrates this point and…

seen: a Nintendo 64. I didn’t know it back then, but that game system has played a major role in my identity. My mother bought the system and the games that came with it. We took it home, hooked it up, and I dug through the box of games. One of the games looked particularly appealing. The cartridge was grey with a golden sticker reflecting the dim light. In large red letters, a sword entwined with the first letter, was the title of the game: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Because I was…

the love of football in common, and they both have mothers who disapproves of them playing football. Jules invites Jess to join an all-girls football club. But the only thing stopping Jess is that she’s born into a traditional, Indian family. They think that her obsession with this sport is insane.

Spring 2016 was my first season playing lacrosse at Edison High School. I was truly excited to learn a new sport. From what I knew, lacrosse was basically soccer with sticks; throwing and catching a ball with a stick seemed a relatively straightforward concept. In the first practice, I wasn’t able to throw or catch a single ball. Whenever I threw the ball, it fell out of my stick and whenever I tried to catch the ball, it bounced off the side or flew past me. Dismayed at my performance, I…

For this research I developed a novel game platform for smartphones (only Android devices), using a fitness tracker (only compatible with Fitbit trackers) to study how this type of applications could help to shape healthy behavior in users. The aim of this research was to understand how to stimulate users to increase physical activity, what motivated them, how competitive and social aspects affected their behavior, and how positive and negative framing of games impacted motivation. All these…

at the helm. Gifford had his finest year as a Giant with 1,400+ all-purpose yards, scoring nine touchdowns, and received over 100 yards in the championship game against Chicago to earn his only NFL MVP Award. But, Gifford had his share of memorable moments that changed the game of football. In the first nationally televised NFL championship game against the Giants and Colts in 1958, Gifford carried the Giants on his back for most of the 4th quarter after catching a 15-yard touchdown pass from QB…

Investments are his specialty and his opinion is still valued to this day. A. G. is certainly a role model to me, I admire his success in athletics and his dedication to the company his father, my great-grandfather, started over one hundred years ago. He has always worked hard at anything he has pursued and I still look to him for advice in my golf game. Even though his stroke has limited him from playing a round of golf he will still go to the course with me whenever he can. Today he still…
