More Ideas for game

The last couple of weeks I caught a writer's block and I couldn't think of anything to put into my video game that I want to create. That all changed in a flash last night. As I was sleeping trying to get rid of the flu I caught, I had a bevy of ideas come at me in dreams. Some of the dreams were a factions to add to the game, but most of the dreams were of the story of that the main character is in. I woke up immediately and wrote them down. I woke up and read and i'm really surprised by how good the story sounded, to me, but I let some people read it and see how they like it. Goodbye, have a great Turkey day.

Veggie Final

Hello everbody!!! I am stressing out right about now. I have a final in one of my classes where I have to make a drive thru menu for a restaurant, but the thing is that it has to be a veggie themed place. Doing this project has me very confused at this very moment. I know places exist that just focus on veggitarians and vegans, but this project is going to have my mind exhausted trying to figure out what dishes to include and then I have to make a web page for it and a menu. There are a lot of parts for this one final, but hopefully I will be able to get it together and hopefully pass this class.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Review

Modern Warfare 2 is the follow up the hit game, Modern Warfare. The story takes place when Russia goes to war with the United States. The game looks very good and the story is pretty good. The campaign mode in the game is kind of short and it is only three acts. Where Modern Warfare 2 shines at is the Multi - player aspect. The Multi - player is very strong and that is where a lot of your time will be put into the game. The new mode that the people at Infinity Ward put in was the Special - Ops mode. Special - Ops is a two player mode where you and a friend go through certain points in the game and you have to accomplish a bevy of different tasks. This is a very fun mode in the game that makes the game play longer and more addictive. I recommend that people pick this up and at least rent the game, this could be a sleeper game of the year contender.

Hello everybody! How was everybody's week going so far? My week is going good so far. I finally got my group project back in TCM 22000 and I got an "A". The paper was very difficult because we had to go out and do interviews with people in our fields and it took me a while to find the people that I wanted to interview. Doing this paper made me realize that people in my field do not work in groups and the fact that grammar plays such an important role in their fields. See everybody in class this week.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Controversy

Even before the release of Modern Warfare 2 yesterday, the people over at Activision are already in a firestorm of negativity. When people found out that in one of the scenes in the game, a airport is hi-jacked by terrorists and they go a shoot innocent civilians and security guards patrolling the airport. People are up in arms about the scene because you can choose and play the scene, they give people the choice of either playing the scene or skipping it. I know that it is bad, but what is the difference between this scene and something like the movie Die Hard. Why is it that a movie can do something like this and it is okay, but when a video game does it, everybody is all up in arms about it. Why is it when a video game does something, people always want to protest it.

November 11th

Hello, everybody how was your weekend? Finally did my group presentation in TCM and it went very well. We did a project on writing in the work place. We had to interview people in our fields and ask them about writing at their jobs. I was very surprised that their is not a lot of group writing, but all of our interviews said that grammar is very important in writing documents. Hopefully, my group will get a very good grade because we worked very hard on it.

Video Game Project

As I am working on my project, I ran into a mental block. I'm trying to make the story for my game very dynamic and I can't get my story to flow from my opening scene that I made over the past week. I like how it's going, but I don't know where to start the next scene at. I am trying to figure out if I want to start it from before he joins the gang or start it from when he is already in the gang. I figured out what my main gangs in the gang are going to be, now I am trying to figure out what are they going to look like. The five I made have a nice backstory i made, but incorporating them into the story is a lot harder than I thought it would be. I'll post more when I think of some more to add.

November 2nd
