Quote:

"Individual commitment to a group effort -that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work."  -Vince Lombardi 

This quote is explaining what it is to be in a group. This quote works with our groups that we have now in Video Game Designer Class. I agree with this quote because it does take a group effort to make things work. If a person in your group is slacking and not doing their part it effects the whole group. That's why its always best to follow through with your group and work together you will get the best results that you could ever get.

Quote:

"If civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships -the ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together, in the same world at peace."

I think this quote means that if we are to civilize we must be civilized. You can't make a civilization with uncivilized people. When I mean uncivilized I basically mean that humans who doesn't have the ability to have a relationship with a person. In my terms I basically mean that they are really crazy to the point to where they don't have a personal relationship with anyone and it would be hard to make one. This quote is important because it explains to me what a world should be like because our world today is uncivilized.

*Mini Challenge*

      My favorite physical sport is basketball. I like this sport because its the most interesting to me out of all  of the physical sports and its also a lot of fun. One of the most popular basketball games out there is NBA 2K and all of the other ones they have done. One positive feedback loop from the game is how the newest game that just came out NBA 2K16 it gives you all the control of how you would really feel when your in a basketball. One negative feedback loop from this game is that when you are playing the game they don't program the game  to where its fair.

       This quote to me basically means that you can't leave stuff behind. Don't run away from your problems! When you run away from your problems nothing will ever get fixed. I mean understand that you can get a better oppurtunities and you wanna go ahead and do it but always fix what you have now or it's going to get way worse. The longer you wait to fix something the worse its going to get.

Hero's Journal- The Path Ahead

Poem:

The Road Not Taken
Robert Frost, 1874 - 1963
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

        What the poem means:

This poem can mean a lot of things to a lot of people in many ways but to me this poem is really special. I have actually read this poem last year during a public speaking class and we had discussed the background of the poem and what we think it meant by actually breaking down the stanza's. From what I have learned Robert Frost was bit of a joker back in the day. Him being a joker had written this poem as a joke and decided to send it to one of his close buddies. When his friend read the poem he had taken the poem really seriously and had decided to go into the army. And sadly a year later he had died which is really sad. Basically to me I think that the poem means that you can always choose what path you want but remember life is too short so don't over think your decisions too much. One of the major life choice that we make is deciding on what we want to be in life..We could either be successful or unsuccessful.

What's In A Name?

Quote:

 "Tigers die and leave their skins; people die and leave their names."

-Japanese Proverb 

In my opinion I think that this quote itself is as deep as it gets. I think that what the quote is trying to say that when tigers die they leave something beautiful and useful, and when we die we aren't that important. So I guess they want us to be remembered and useful when we are gone. Because its never too late to help anybody. And its not saying that you aren't useful because you don't have tiger skin but you can make yourself useful. No matter who you are.

Game Tittle:

Geometry Dash Lite

      This game, this game is so fun. The design, the technique, and the soundtrack is just so perfect. The thing I love about this game is that it gives you a challenge. I love playing games and the best games to have my phone are games that give me a challenge. And I'm not going to lie most people will probably have rage playing this game. This game is hard! Basically when you are playing the game you as the character is a shape. Hence why the name is Geometry Dash. You don't move the game moves forward for you. And then you tap the screen to jump over the obstacles. The design, the background is pretty neat and I also have seen game plays of the updated version where the background is pretty sweet. The soundtrack is supposed to help you, but it doesn't really help that much. The game is most known for there soundtrack because the music is the best. My full rate of this game is an 9 because I just don't like how when you die you have to start all the way over from the beginning.

Quote:

"A game is like a mirror that allows you to look at yourself."

-Robert Kiyosaki, Author. 

I think this quote means that when you are playing a game you control that character. That character is you, everything that you decide to do in the game with that character is everything you tell it to. It mimicks you the way your reflection mimicks you in the mirror. Every single game that you play always reflects off of you whether you know it or not. People always choose a game that has something that reflects off of them.

Quote:

"Playing a game is the voluntary effort to overcome unnecessary obstacles" (Bernard Suits)

     The quote means that games are complicated. And since the games are complicated you have to pass a lot of levels to get to your destination. The quote explains how when you are playing a game you have to overcome unnecessary obstacles and the unnecessary obstacles are the levels. In order to get to get to the next level or obstacle you have to pass that level. Its the same rule to finish/win a game.

     Do you like dots, well I don't. This game looked fun but after a while I got bored with it. Basically all you do is create a dot, eat smaller dots and you get bigger. And when you get bigger you eat other people's dots. Trust me its as boring as it sounds! The reason I played this game is because I've seen a lot of people play it and I don't know why they would want to. Eating dots is all you do through out the whole game. Not fun!

Quote:

     “We are all functioning at a small fraction of our capacity to live life fully in its total meaning of loving, caring, creating, and adventuring. Consequently, the actualizing of our potential can become the most exciting adventure of our lifetime."

     I like this quote because its one of those quotes you have to read about three times to understand and I love that. I think this quote basically means that your whole life doesn't have to be filled with socializing, going to parties, and having fun every single day of your life. You can just have all of that with your family. 

     I also interpret form this quote that everybody says go out an explore, go have an adventure. or they would say go out in the world and go find love, go out in the world and go express your creativity. But the thing the poem is saying is that why not go out in the world when you can easily find it right there in front of your face. And you can do that by using your potential.

Game Played:

Tanki Online

          Do you guys remember the game tanks, well if you loved that game you would love this even better. Tanki Online is a upgraded version of the old tanks. Packed with better graphics, and so much more. When you first go on the website they let you play a tutorial to get the feel of what to do and how to do stuff. You can upgrade to diffrent weapons and change the theme of your tanks. Since the game is called Tanki Online you play with other individuals on online. personally if I could i would play this game all the time. I think this game is fun and full of great challenges, and who doesn't love a challenge.

Quote:

   “A good game is a series of interesting choices.” (Sid Meier)  

   I think this quote means that basically if you want to make a game or play a game the game that everybody wants to play has to be interesting. If you or playing/creating a game and its really creative that's a game that everybody wants to play. After a while you playing the same game over and over again gets boring. So that's when video game designer's come in. Because when video game designer's create games they add a little more creativity or they would add new technology to the game to make the player's want to buy the game.  

The Three Things I am Thankful For!!!

                      The Three Things I Am Thankful For

The first thing:

The first thing I am thankful for is my Mom. I am thankful for my mom because if it wasn't for her I wouldn't be here, and at the end of the day she is the one who provides an education for me and puts clothes on my back and food in my mouth.

The second thing:

The second thing I am grateful for are my bestfriend's. I am thankful for them because they help me through any sisuation and they give good advise. They also are really loyal and can't stay mad at me no matter what and they can always deal with the bull I give them.

Last but not least:

The last thing I am thankful for is my school because if it wasn't for Groveport I wouldn't have my friends and my knowledge.
