the future of video games?

Hi people. here is a short two paragraphs I wrote for my multimedia class homework and i wanted to share my thoughts with whoever is interested. :)

When I think of video games, I am overwhelmed! I ask myself where do I even start? The subject is so vast, with so many different play types and titles. But that is what makes video games such an amazing technology. Not but 60 years ago the very first video game was released in the fall of 1958. The game was called 'Tennis for Two', a pong-like game that had two controllers plugged in to an analog computer. If you remember anything about this game, or even seen it being played, you'd probably think "how is that even entertaining?". The graphics were set to two different colors, there was nothing aesthetically attractive about it. Nowadays we have video games that are made to go on infinitely, ones that you can't win! An example is the game 'Spore', by the creator of the well-known title 'The Sims'. You design your own creatures, and assist them in their daily lives. If you were born back in the early days of the 1900's, you couldn't even fathom that other life existed outside of our planet. To make things even crazier, the world witnessed it's very first man to video game marriage in November of 2009. The game is called Love Plus, and it's a video game programmed specifically for you to fall in love with!

So now that we have humans falling in love with video games, and games where the goal isn't to win but evolve, the futures of gaming almost seems unlimited. There are talks about virtual reality video game rehab improving hand function for people diagnosed with cerebral palsy. This leads me to believe that in our near future video games will be used to treat all kinds of hand and eye limiting diseases. Our children may one day be going on class field trips to Jupiter, without even leaving the comfort of their class rooms with the assistance of muscle sensors.
The way video games are evolving, they can turn into our teachers, our lovers, our doctors, and our best friends. No longer will mom tell you "video games rot your mind", instead she'll be hassling you to lock yourself up in your room in front of the television.

same shit different day

wow okay so a lot has happend. i moved out of kevins house because carolyn was talking way too much shit and being obnoxious so i decided to ignore her. basically using furc tactics; the silence rule. kinda like if i throw a stick she'll go away. lmfao. shes really annoying so im glad to be out. im finally closer to all my friends again and dont have to drive a thousand miles to visit with them. apparently carolyn called the police on me saying i was driving without a license except i have my license...LOL what the hell? im gonna warn everyone not to trust her cause she pulls sketchy shit like that and posts all her problems on myspace and tries to start drama. i definately dont wanna be apart of that. besides from that, today is my first class of college. i got class at 7pm tonight. this should be amusing. and besides that the 4channers & co. got into wolfies myspace before i could. in b4 me. but whatever, i hope the dog gets justice and her life is ruined. thats what you get for cutting the heads off of dogs while they're still alive. ):<
as for comic con, i figured out a way to go and make my costume. telling mom i need $500 dollars for school books and photoshop. gonna find the cheapest books and photoshop on the internet. i should have about $100 left to buy my ticket for comic con, and buy the stuff i need to make my molotov cocktease costume.






there are so many pictures of girls who did an AMAZING job on their outfits. and i dont think i could quite live up to it. but i am going to see what i can do. and im gonna get started early. comiccon is in july so i still have some time!!!


such a good job on dr. girlfriend... *jealous*

lol

my website is almost done its turning out so nice. i figure when i start class on the 25th i wont have very much homework since my website is almost done.
i am so fucking pissed off. i left a hershey bar with almonds on the counter in the kitchen to defrost and my roomates girlfriend decided that she was gonna steal it. i looked everywhere for it and asked all my roomates where they put it and everyone denied it. but i know it was carolyn because i had a tape recorder hidden above the fridge and when i played it back i heard her saying "kevin whos hershey bar is this can i have it im taking it". even though i caught her red handed she still lies. wowwww. i cant wait to move out i dont want to deal with this crap anymore. my food is always missing and they are constantly getting into my things. she borrows my stuff and doesnt return it, i have to ask her for it back. not to mention their dogs chewed up a few of my things. i am just livid, but im not going to say anything because then that just sparks up drama and im not in the mood to deal with her bullshit whining and crying. not to mention that a few of my friends told me she was saying stuff about me like how im "86'd" from all her get togethers. what the hell is that crap? all it is is pointless drama that she needs to stop getting herself into, all shes doing is making people not want to say anything to her because shes going to go and talk shit on them and ive heard it from countless people. i wonder if she realizes it? im sorry but this is the only way i can vent my frustration instead of making a big deal over it and making my life here more miserable than it already is. when i move back to murrieta things will be better, ill get to hang out with my friends again. im excited.

oh and hamlet posted this small story on furc and i looked it up on google and found this website --> http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/random-stories-part-iv
it has a bunch of neat random stories. some make me cringe. but i cant bring my eyes away from it.

The children's game "Red Rover" has its origins in a pagan ritual that dates back to the 16th century. According to manuscripts of the time, participants in the ritual would chant and make sacrifices to a demon in charge of shepherding souls to the afterlife, in hopes that their loved ones could return from death. Grotesque illustrations of the demon would sometimes accompany written accounts of the ritual, but the demon was never given a name; it was referred to only as "the Red Rover."

this guy i met on myspace wants to take photo manipulations of me so here is the unedited picture and i post the finished one when he's done im also pretty excited about this its so awesome that he asked me i love his work.

happybirthdaytome

yesterday was my birthday. im 20 now. its depressing. the few couple of days before my birthday i just wanted to crawl up into a ball and die. i dont wanna be 20 i hate getting older i feel like everything i wanted to do is no longer available for me because im not 16 anymore. other than feeling depressed, i am grateful at the same time. i love all the people in my life (except a select few) and im so happy i have everything i have. i got a bunch of hello kitty crap and a really pretty lace white long sleeved shirt i love it so much but its a size small and i want to go get a medium because i want it to be baggy on me so im gonna go do that tommorow. i registered for my classes today and im going full time taking 12 credits. my classes cost 312$ but my mom and dad told me not to worry about it because the financial aid will refund their money. so yeah thats reassuring. my dad sent me an email yesterday saying he was gonna buy me the nintendo dsi i want he wants me to get pink so yeah im stuck with pink. lol my dad always buys me pink gameboys. i think he was always afraid i was going to turn out to be a lesbian and he always made sure that i wore dresses when i was younger and that i was surrounded by girliness all my life...hence my obsession with hello kitty, pokemon, and kitties. anyways its a brand new year, im one year older and im young. i want to make the best of this year as much as possible. im going to be a graphic design, web design, and art student all in one im cramming as much in as possible. and maybe this year im going to finally be able to go on vacation to new orleans like i always wanted? and possibly more places like boston, romania, and egypt? i might have the money to. but before i try to go on vacation im going to make sure that i get my condo or apartment and get the hell out of this house and far away from my roomates.
