internet and video game addictions as well. These next few paragraphs are based off of an interview with one of my roommates who had been addicted to video games in the past. After getting to know my roommate better throughout this last year or so that I have known him, I have come to realize that we have many things in common with video games being one of them. We both have come to the conclusion that we have been, at least in some point in the past, addicted to video games. The story of how…

For my Romeo & Juliet project, I recreated the board game Cranium. Rewriting the instructions for the game and cards to fit the improved version was pretty easy but took a while. Altogether, I created about 160 different cards and painted over the original card boxes and board. The spaces on the board were hand-drawn along with some of the decorations. Overall, this project was really fun but a challenge. The idea of a board game came from my friend who had this class the trimester before. She…

while mentally preparing ourselves for the game that was about to be played. I sat down on the grass next to the bench and began to put on my socks and shinguards. It was a beautiful, sunny, and hot day. I wouldn’t have normally minded but playing in a soccer game while it’s hot isn’t the most fun thing in the world. This was my first time playing in a varsity game and of course it just so happened to be the district finals game. Since it was an away game for us, the other team had a bunch of…

Men’s and Women’s Tennis game against the Eagles To gain entrance into the athletic training program I am required to attend four different games while assisting and being supervised by an athletic trainer. The athletic trainer for last Thursday’s tennis game was Samantha or simply called Sam. I arrived at 2:15pm for the game which started at 3:30pm. When I arrived I went straight to the shack and saw that Sam was going to fill six Gatorade containers, 5 with water 1 with Gatorade. Sam…

For today's game lab, our group decided that we would play this board game called Sushi Go!. Sushi Go! Our group consisted of six people: Sinjin, Andrew, Mitchell, Kevin, Richard, and myself. Every player starts the game off by being dealt 7 cards. The goal of the game is to place a card down and pass your hand to the next player. The cards being placed down are then flipped and used to chain together for points. Whoever has the most amount of points by the end of the round wins. The first…

disagree. Gaming is an equal opportunity scam. In this paper, I will provide context in which the entire premise of gaming proves to be equally detrimental to all classes of society; regardless of race, creed, and religious preference. King of the Bingo Game (1944) takes place at the end of the Great Depression Era of the United States, just prior to our involvement in World War II. This was a difficult time for all Americans. The setting is a movie theatre somewhere in the…

Rather than looking at a difficult problem as an impossible hurdle, math has taught me to view it as a challenge, a game. A game that makes me turn to others through study groups and discussions, and what brought me, as a seven-year-old, to want to spend my birthday doing math with my friends at Kumon. But mostly I turn to myself. Whether it’s calculating the odds of a certain…

captivated by the fact that videogames could allow users to role play as certain characters and bring the story to life. It created a unique platform for friends to connect. Inspired by this new understanding, I decided that I wanted to create my own game. Extremely motivated and determined to complete this task, I asked my friend if he wanted to collaborate with me and be my animator. Being the young kids we were, we were fascinated by the dreams and accomplishments of our creation rather…
