Reflection
When I heard about the videogaming class was being offered I thought it might be easy. I thought to myself, "what the heck, I need the credits anyway." I was sadly mistaken. Since this class started I have been working on homework longer than I ever had before. I get up at 8am and I don't get done until 1am, however I do take breaks here and there. This class is fun and I feel like I am learning so much about gaming.
Blogging has become a major part of my life and I actually enjoy it. Thus far this class has opened my eyes to how important gaming is to our culture. I have begun to understand the mind of a gamer because I am becoming one.One website that I am getting very familiar with is G4TV. I could spend hours on this site because it is the epitome of the gaming world.
I feel that in this class I am begining to understand why gamer do the things they do. Also I am learning a lot about my writing and opinions. I have found that can be very creative with it but I need to be more subjective; this isn't an English class. I am excited to start the essay because I feel this is where I can show what I truely have learned in this class. I have found so much information on Asteroids that I never thought existed. I never knew that Wikipedia had a whole section devoted to the game.
Another thing that I am learning is that there are so many different types of games. I have come to discover that I am not fond of IF games because it is just too complicated for my simple mind. Overall I feel that I am learning so much from this class and I know that within the next week I will learn even more.
