Notebook: The Last Thing I Loved

02/07
Idea: Video Games
-Halo, obviously
-League of Legends
-Call of Duty MW2

Each of these has it's own story, so where do I go with this?

I'm now thinking about doing a top ten list now after spending some time reflecting on the blog. The choices that the author of the blog I read were not superficial. He explained what each meant to him and why he chose them. You could see how deep the choices were, making it more relatable for me.

Originally, I was planning on doing a top ten within the Halo game, but after the meeting, I came to the conclusion that a top ten Video game list would provide a larger look into my life (as you assumed was the approach, which I liked so much more). I started putting together a list:
1. Halo
2. League of Legends
3. Age of Mythology
4. Call of Duty MW2
5. Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2
6. COD Black Ops 2
7. Digimon Rumble Arena
8. Pokemon Rom Hack (Find specific one I played)-->Pokemon Light Platinum, FOUND IT!


This is a tentative list and the order is not yet representative. But I want to try to include these games, unless I find others that were more impactful for me.

After putting in some more thought, I may have to limit this assignment to a Top 5 list to fit the word limit. With the 700-1000 ish limit, I will not be able to explain the choices well enough if I only reserve 100 words per selection. Thus, I want to remove some memories in order to better flush out the others.

Review: Writing About the Media

I discuss my biggest fault in approaching the class in my final assignment. I took that as an opportunity to reflect on some bottled up thoughts that I had, revisiting the core purpose of why I enjoy writing. Reflecting on the course itself and the process, I found this class to be a different form of writing that was in the middle of the analytical, research papers that I hate and the free, creative writing that I loved. We took our own thoughts and ideas but integrated them with outside research on the medium.  I found it to be quite a roller coaster for me. The first piece was the one that I was most distant from (in terms of content at least). I'm not very big on pop culture or news, so writing about it was out of my comfort zone. I had to spend extra time researching since I was so foreign to the current policies and news, only just grasping a level of understanding to be able to whip the piece together. What pulled me through that assignment was integrating it with somethi...

Final Assignment: Video Game Categorization Course: Video Games as a Medium Professor: Guna Yerrabolu This course is made for students who enjoy playing video games. It revolves around playing video games and then analyzing the experience, so it could still be suitable for students who don't really play video games. A lot of the questions I got revolved around the requirement for 10-15 games. As I presented in the Research Tips and Tricks, this assignment is still feasible if someone does research. The categories don't have to be broad. So if they research gameplay clips or other people's reviews, the assignment can still be completed since the categories that the student generates are of their own choosing. Information Throughout this course, we have observed how medium can shape the message that a video game is portraying. We spent a majority of the class looking at specific video games and analyzing different components that made or broke them. In this proce...

Final Assignment: The Looking Glass

A Reflection on the Student Condition I think to myself at least once a month what it would have been like to go through college and actually take classes for the content. Being a pre-med student, I have valued the grade more often than the message. It's probably a common symptom of the system since we have to keep our GPA at perfection throughout our college career to impress the medical schools. My writing minor was supposed to be my step out of the light, it was supposed to be the classes I took for me rather than for those medical schools. The assortment of classes I took through the minor were supposed to be not for the grade. That's what I told myself. But with every class, I always have that anxiety at the back of my mind. Even though these classes give a freedom that I don't find in any other classes, there are limitations. I used to hate writing for classes. I went to a math and science academy where every History and English class was filled with analytical,...
