The Great Game

In the Hunger Games, desensitization is a key component in the Capitol’s ignorance and arrogance. Not only do the Capitol citizens find the violent nature of the Games completely normal, but it is also a great source of entertainment for them. No one should find the murder of children by other children entertaining and the Capitol citizens must be very heartless because of it. The Capitol citizens would feel differently about the Games if their own children competed and faced the full effect…

feeling of enthusiasm or excitement for something. My favorite sport has always been the game of soccer, the world’s most popular sport, as it is for many others around the world. I began playing in the second grade and since then, it has pushed me to work harder, strengthened me mentally to focus more, and ameliorated me socially by bringing me closer to others with similar interests. Through my passion for the game, soccer has fueled my will to succeed in everything I do by combining my…

with my friends I was forced to play a dangerous game called anxiety, in which…

Pele grew up playing soccer in his neighborhood with his friends and they called themselves “The Shoeless Ones.” At the age of 15 he began playing for the Brazil International Soccer Team, as their striker. It took a few months for him to get in some games but once he was on the field, the fans were in awe of what he could do with a ball and his feet. Pele was the youngest to ever join an International Soccer team. After 2 years he won his first World Cup. They defeated sweden 5-2. Pele is…

genres affect some types of memory or problem solving skills, and other genres another? Will video games even have an effect on either subjects anyway? A study published in the “Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance” tested if action videogames improved working memory more than non-action games. The study was…

On April 27th, I went to a lacrosse game over at the Hilbert College. It is a home game, unfortunately, because Immaculata does not have enough space, we had to pay the game at Hilbert’s sports field. We played against St. Mary. We lost the game by a lot of points. The score was 8 to 16. Lacrosse has its origins in a tribal game played by eastern Woodlands Native Americans and by some Plains Indians tribes in what is now Canada. The game was extensively modified by European immigrants to…

Jordan was as my dad would always say, the first on and off the court every time he was on the court. Jordan was always looking for ways to improve his game and he was extremely coachable and always took advice from his fellow coaches/ teammates for ways to improve and get better. This is what I aspire to be on…

their games, and thought about their behaviour. They were attentive and well behaved, I think this is because the games not only related to their program of studies and their curriculum but, they were also playing games that they saw as fun and relevant to them in their home life. I the student’s enthusiasm and attentiveness helps to describe “meaningful” engage is this situation. The teacher in this case study states explicitly that it took her a great deal of time to develop these games in a…

don’t like getting into, but once they do, they can’t stop playing. They play many great horror games made by big companies and then start playing horror games made by smaller companies or one person. A game developer never wants to let down a player, but with so many great horror games out there that their audience has probably played or at least seen, it is hard to top them. They need to know what makes a good horror game. There are two “flavors of horror” that developers use. Western horror…

world has never played or heard about the game Pokemon? I am sure that every teenager used to play the game when he was a kid or every older people have children who played years ago. I remember whenever I was a kid I used to love this game; getting the new version every year, meet with all my friends to play it together, but over the years the game became repetitive. Pokemon needed a blast, and it was accomplished with the released of Pokemon go. The game Pokémon is a Japanese franchise created…
