Week #3

So week three I thought that I would talk about our 2020 Presidential Election, more specifically I thought I would talk about Elizabeth Warren who just recently dropped out. Personally I am not a very political person, I have very big opinions on a lot of topics like abortions and Gun rights but I don’t like to talk about politics because I believe that every political discussion ends with an argument, if it’s not a huge fight someone definitely leaves the conversation upset. I should also preface that I grew up in a republican family that has some democrat views, I should also say that my family isn’t that political as well or they at least don’t talk about it around me; but as I've grown and found my own ideals I have become a democrat. So yesterday I was bored and browsing Instagram when I stumbled across this video of a take on a viral trend that has been going around but this time the video had an SNL member dressed as Elizabeth Warren and Elizabeth Warren dancing; so at the time of viewing this video I had no idea who Elizabeth Warren and after watching a couple of videos about her on her Instagram I actually became pretty excited because I thought for the first time I might be able to vote for someone that I believed in, I was excited because I would feel like I was supporting something bigger that could change our country's future. But that excitement was quickly demolished after I realized that a couple days before this video was made she dropped out of the race and I quickly became upset because I realized that once again I would have to wait till another candidate comes around that I believe in.

Final Post

If I had to estimate the amount of time I spend looking at a screen I think most people older than me would be sick and maybe some of my fellows peers may think of it as too much but, I've grown up with technology as I have matured the technology that we use has become more refined; many people say that we need to live in the now and not spend so much time online but that isn't the case for me because without technology I wouldn't be the person I am today. Now I know that the internet has it's downsides especially the stories of cyberbullying , I know that it is a real problem the a lot of people suffer from but for my story the internet actually helped me. You see if I were to describe the type of relationship that I have with the internet I would have to say it's that friend that no matter what happens they will always be there for you; I say this because my younger school life kinda sucked I was always bouncing around from friend group to friend group because...

VR

On March 23rd, 2020 Half Life: Alyx released on steam for VR so as every review is praising this game for the innovative take on VR I  thought that for week 12s blog post, since we are discussing VR I thought that I would take about VR since it’s still pretty new and only getting better. In 2010 the first innovative VR headset was created and it was called the Oculus , since it was so new there weren't many games out for it and the games that were, weren’t too exciting. Then recently we have seen more VR headsets and games; with these new headsets and games more developers found ways to make VR not only easier for the player to use but also more complex in the stories and gameplay. I personally don’t have a VR headset though I have seen many people play VR games like the ever so popular Beat Saber. I think that VR became a really popular item when it first came out because many people love video games and this was just the newest way to experience them, it was fresh. I honestly...

Privacy, Online and Off

For this blog post I thought I would discuss my experience with companies handling my online information and what my thoughts about it are. Like many of my generation my entire life is online, and if that is good or bad is a whole different story but like so many I have an email, I have a twitter, I have an Instagram and I also give my information away to a ton of game development companies because I spend almost all of my free time either playing games or watching them. Thankfully for all my years I have yet to have a problem with my information being leaked or misused by another company which is pretty lucky because gaming companies have security breaches all the time. For instance when I was younger I used to play on Sony's console Playstation but during my third or so year in elementary school I switched to Microsoft's Xbox 360 because all of my friends had it, this was very fortunate for me because a couple years later in 2011 Sony was hacked and 77 million Playstat...
