Graduation Speech On The Forgotten Art Of Online Games

Did you know that Overwatch is Blizzard Entertainment’s fourth major franchise? That’s right! Overwatch is a highly popular shooter game it was first released in May 2016 for Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. In this speech, I will be telling you the basic information for Overwatch. Let’s begin.

Dear friends and students of UTA, I humbly come to you with a simple argument, one that is close to my heart. Though it may sound trivial, the argument has been raging on for three decades, and has grown to a nation wide debate. The question: is there such thing as a gaming community? Again, the question may sound inconsequential, but consider this fellow Mavericks, what makes a community? Is it just a group of people meeting and having a good time? Or is it more? Is something like gaming able to unite people from all across the world? Admittedly, the argument is rather close to my heart. I have been interested games since the age of five. I

Central Idea: Focusing on how games are incorperated in peoples lives by viewing the time spent playing, relationships through video games, how video games are for all people, and the social aspect that is incorperated in the video games.

Video games were created to provide a unique, interactive experience for the user. This “experience” is something we can define as being fun, engaging, and interesting. This was the mindset of Dr. Frankenstein in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein; he was extremely engaged and interested in his work regarding the monster. However, MMORPG’s represent the bad side to video games; in the same way that Frankenstein’s monster was the hellish subject that interested him, MMORPG’s still interest some users despite their lack of true video game “experience”. In fact, MMORPG’s cause addiction, separate families, lead to depression, and separate the user from real life, indicating that they are virtual “animals” that need to be tamed.

The Senior Project is an important part of a student’s final year of high school. It integrates skills, concepts and data from the student’s program of study into one culminating project. Students work on individual projects. A Senior Project consists of a major product/artifact, portfolio, oral presentation and a written reflection paper.

In the TedTalk “Gaming can Make a Better World” Jane McGonigal tackles the stigma around video games being a waste of time and how they can actually contribute to a healthier, more fulfilling life. McGonigal first goes over the top give regrets people have at the deathbed and how in reality, video games can help make life more fulfilling by reinforcing familial and friendship bonds, help dramatically boost moods, help in self-expression and allow people to be their true selves. She cites various scientific studies and research and thus effectively uses the logos persuasion technique. At one point she also the ethos appeal by citing one of her previous TedTalks. This allows her to build her credibility and persuade readers to be more willing

Every since I arrived at Tabor, I knew I wanted to do a senior project. I have always learned best by doing and a senior project encapsulates that idea wholly. For me, a senior project means the opportunity to learn a skill or complete a project that I would not have had the time or the means otherwise. I want to do a senior project because it would give me that opportunity to learn new skills.

During this part of my senior project, I had many struggles. I procrastinated too long, I got sick one too many times, I did not ask the teacher whose class I was going to present to if I could present early enough so I got points off on my project. I spent almost all of my free time working on this project, including a lot of money. My product cost the most out of this whole project, I had to pay for the paintball and the camera used which cost a pretty penny. The things that took the most amounts of time were, the driving, the editing, the mentor visits, writing the papers, making the simulation, and doing the project in general. Some of the good things I have done this far into the project are, I have found a mentor, I got an interviewee

Coming into senior year, I actually expected the difficulty of the senior project. The senior project is a very time consuming task. It is a major part of determining whether or not we graduate. I never thought that I would be so unsure of my project and what it will require. I need to find out how I will collect my data. I also need to determine my product and how it relates to the project as a whole. An additional issue that I am facing is that I am having trouble putting the concept all together in my mind. Once I actually just use one full moment to gather my thoughts and combine them, I can plan an effective closing project. I want to go out with a bang and finalize the legacy that I am leaving here in Warren County.

The issue being discussed is internet gaming addiction. While there are factors that have already been established in developing an internet

I’m Isaiah Pierre-Louis and my senior project is on Red Rocks and the residential conflict happening around the park. I chose my project because, I love music. My goal in life is to become a DJ/Producer and perform amazing shows with awesome visuals. I thought to myself and came up with a great topic to base my project around and made sure I could still include strict details on Red Rocks. When I first heard about the project I thought I would just have to base it around something I wanted to do; and since Red Rocks was having complaints about volume during concert nights, the conflict just gave me broader options on what to research. Because at first, I thought the conflict was because of the damage to the rocks, I was researching the complete

Development in technology brings many things that people don't have many years back. One of these things is online gaming that is provided by the internet.

Since the first video games were developed in the 1950 – the gaming industry haven’t looked back since. Throughout the century video games has gone through a huge development where the entire planet spend more than 3 billion hours a week playing video games. In the speech “Online Harassment and Cyber Mobs” Anita Sarkeesian, who is a female gamer, talks about the stereotypes of gaming. The type of people who don’t think women should be a part of the gamer world. A world, which is dominated by men and where online harassment of the other gender is something we see everyday. This is the stereotype Sarkeesian talks about and this is the stereotype she tries to get rid of.

Gaming has been such a huge part of nearly everyone’s life growing up as a kid and it’s only getting bigger and bigger every day. Growing up as a kid, online gaming wasn’t as popular as it is today. I started off with a Gameboy and Dreamcast console that later shifted to better consoles like the PlayStation, Xbox, Wii, and Nintendo. Nowadays, almost everyone, including myself, have shifted to the more popular gaming platforms in mobile games and online PC games. More specifically, certain types of online gaming styles like FPS, MOBA, and MMO are distinctly more popular than many others. Not only has the popularity for online gaming platforms evolved but the importance and relevance of
