Sneak, Dark Souls and more Dark Souls

During the week of March 17, game studies was very enjoyable. Tuesday we played Sneak and on Thursday we played Dark Souls. These are the only thing I remember, I have been playing a lot of Dark Souls II since it came out on March 11, so my memory is foggy.

Sneak is a fun game that is simple to play. I think the goal is to find the sneak and receive the most points. There are three different types of people in this game; spork, foon and sneak. People have to complete challenges, gather information of other people and figure out who the slimy sneak is. Well I wasn't the sneak but seven people voted for me so I have that going for me which is nice. I don't believe that anybody voted for the sneak.

Thursday we were playing one of my favorite games at the moment, Dark Souls. I could go and talk all day about why I love this game. The top three reasons would be the limitless repeatability, the wonderfully crafted environments and the epic boss battles. But this isn't about me, it is about the class. So team “Prison Shank” was showing off the “first” necessary boss battle, but they couldn't beat it. So they let people who have never played Dark Souls play. This series is one of the series that when a new player is playing, he or she should not be given advice. The person has to figure out what to do on their own. I also find it amusing when somebody has no idea what is a round the corner but you know they are about to get destroyed.

Research Paper, Titian Fall and shooting people with shit

During the week of March 10 during Game Studies we discussed the research paper and played Titian Fall. On Tuesday we discussed the research paper, that I almost started. Everybody had to come up with a topic. These ranged from sex in video games, jiggle physics and if video games cause violence why has nobody ever stolen a sewage truck and then proceeded to shoot people with shit. My idea is the best I think because if video games do cause violence, even though it is not proven. This will mean that video game are influential to cause a person to do what they were doing in the game. So a person that played Saints Row 2 would in fact steal a sewage truck and shoot people with shit. I have yet to find an article where this has happen. People blame video games because they don't see the real problem of minors playing M- rated games. If one is not mature enough he or she might be influenced to be a douche but where are the parents that let him or her become a douche bag.

On Thursday we played Titian Fall, which came out on Tuesday with Dark Souls II. We were suppose to play Civilization V but it kept crashing on one laptop. Even though I don't really play FPS Titian Fall was fun. It does seem revolutionizing with parkour, AI companions and giant robots. The robots were the best you could shoot rockets at people and punch the other team's players. When it comes to fighting robots I think size matters. Sure you could use a smaller more mobile robot that gets behind me so I cant shoot it but if I would rather have a robot that doesn't die in one attack. I want people to fear me in my robot. I want them to run away and to know that I will find them.

No school, Halo and Awesome Giant Robots

During the week of March 3 we only had class on Thursday for Game Studies. The school canceled all classes on Tuesday for some reason I don't care enough to know about. I had the day off that is all I care about.

So on Thursday my group, Super Awesome Dude Guys, decided to bring in Halo for the class to play. My group decided to bring in Halo to play because it was revolutionary. At least that is what I was told, I never really played Halo so I don't know. I never really played it because I own a Play Station, not Xbox, and I don't really like first person shooters. It was revolutionary for the fact of having lan parties with friends. I never had a lan party not because I don't have friends but because I don't play multiplayer and for the fact that I don't have friends.

So we showed the class a YouTube video called Red vs Blue Grifball. Then we played monster trucks in Halo. It was a fun game of driving a truck and trying to knock the other people off the platform. When I played this game I blew up before I even entered my vehicle, somehow. After everybody played that we switched it up garbage man. In this game one person is pushing objects into a pit that launches it at the three other people. This game was fun because it is unpredictable, I was the garbage man once and the fact that the garbage man can get into a giant robot and fire missiles at the other players. Even though Halo isn't a game I would normally play or buy it was fun to play.
