Do you remember the good old days when you worked really hard on your homework, finished it, then your mom gave you the ok, and you ran to the TV…. Grabbed your favorite video game… but before putting it in…. you blew in it so that it would work. When the most violent game was either Duck Hunt or Lemmings (poor little green guys…) or Super Mario where you unmercifully killed walking mushrooms! Back when you turned off the game that was it… the only big effect it had on your life was those really obnoxious Tetris dreams you would have flipping blocks all night? Video games have come a LONG way sense then, the change is almost night and day! Now days you will find some games with such great dept to the game play that you could spend hours, days, even years and never beat it. Games that you end up doing double take to figure out if its real or not because of its quality of graphics. And instead of playing with one other choice friend in your families TV room, now from your bedroom you can play with nearly 12 million people. Online gaming has become a huge part of today’s culture and society. The question though is proposed, are all these advances in video gaming affecting our society for the better or were we better off with Mario?

Um... I never played video games when I was little. What's this whole blowing on it for it to work?
ReplyDelete"the only big effect it had on your life was those really obnoxious Tetris dreams you would have flipping blocks all night?" The wording in this sentence doesn't make sense...although I do like the idea. :) Also at the end I think you should just state your question without the intro phrase. Good topic!
ReplyDelete"video games have come a long way SINCE" you used the wrong word there. What is your thesis? But I do like your beginning.

ReplyDeleteCourtney thanks for the advice on that sentence.... I see what I can do. and as for the intro phrase... what one are you talking about?
ReplyDeletethe intro phrase is "the question though is proposed." i also think you should drop it.
