So we get many things in the game. And like Black Ops 2 was a shooting game. It was the #1 game back then. But Fortnite came out and took over all the games. I think the old game back then were better because they look nice and there are a lot of fun.

At the end of the game, I see Konrad painting dead people with the woman holding her child at the center of it. He says 47 innocent people were killed because of his actions and that reports of his survival were “greatly exaggerated. My player has flashbacks about the worst experiences he experienced. My soldiers saw me react to outlandish hallucinations that attempted to make me be the “hero” and realign myself morally. Understanding that this game was fueled by my hallucinations was very upsetting. It made me question whether Spec Ops could be considered a game or art, since my enjoyment decreased. I came to the conclusion that it should be considered a game and art because there were high levels of creativity in the gameplay, storyline, and characters. Each development was well-thought out and the player had an integral role in the

“Man O’ War was the kind of thoroughbred that brought you closer to divinity than most people had been before.” This quote by an unknown describes Man O’ War well; “Man O’ War was America’s legendary thoroughbred race-horse” (“Man O’ War 1917-1947”) and was the type of horse that taught his rider, the people around him, and the entire world that if you keep pushing you can reach any and all goals. Man O’ War was a loving horse that made many feel as if they were getting closer to God. To most people, Man O’ War was a work of art that was brought down to them straight from God because he was perfect; he was a gorgeous stallion that seemed to most as unbeatable. Man O’ War raced his heart out and dominated every race he was in, even the one race he lost. Man O’ War was an important figure in the 1920s American history because he changed the perspective of horse racing forever.

According to a recent study, 155 million Americans regularly play video games. Concerned with the ability of interactive personal-narrative video games to leave these 155 million Americans with selective memories of historical events, Aaron Hess analyzed the narrative rhetoric in the video game Medal Of Honor: Rising Sun. His selection and analysis of the video game led him to formulating the essay question; “What functions do narrative histories as presented in video games perform for players?” Hess’ analysis of the video game through narrative method criticism is appropriate as it properly fulfills the narrative requirements. To be considered a narrative, a rhetorical piece must comprise at least two related events with a unifying subject organized in time order. Immersive and first-person shooter games such as Medal Of Honor: Rising Sun are formatted in a way where the player is guided through different challenges,

The two main popular ones that are of interest would be the Street Fighter 3rd Strike and the Marvel vs Capcom 2 machines. The gamers are heavily immerse in watching the players and cheering them on. I am observing four players playing on two separate machines. The two players who are on MVC2 are wearing both hooded jackets and baggy jeans with tennis shoes. It seems they were here for quite a while. Backpacks are off to the side of the machines or lying around randomly near them on the ground and some half eaten snacks can be seen on the tables nearby. A quick glance around allowed me to take in the surroundings. There are three pool table games in session occupied by two to four players per table. Three girls are having a drink to the table directly adjacent from my stool across the room. My location is near enough from the arcade machines to allow me to easily view the players and note all of what is going on and far enough to remain hidden and unsuspected of recording the scene. I am recording with my Nokia N95 with Carl Zeiss optics 5 mega pixel lens with creative sounds voice amp. I am wearing a zip up hooded jacket and some baggy cargo pants with a pair of vans allowing me to easily blend in as a normal spectator. Soon after, there are at least six to seven guys spectators for the four players. And also noted at ten minute intervals, the losers rotates out with one of the players lining up to be the new challenger of the victorious. The guys seem to be much louder and animate on the MVC2 ...
