A game about possessed robots trying to stuff a security guard into a mechanical suit is an enjoyable way to use one’s time. Five dollars, a computer, and a Steam account is all one needs to play the game Five Nights at Freddy’s (FNaF). Once the game is purchased, the gamer is ready to play; however, if a person dislikes being scared, they should avoid this game. To successfully play FNaF, one of the scariest games of all time, one must learn how to use the simple mechanics, know how the animatronics behave, and beat the secret nights. Knowing how to use the simple mechanics of the game is an important part of playing FNaF. The main goal of the game is to survive until six o’clock. All the following components help the player accomplish this. One of the few components are the cameras. The cameras help the gamer see the animatronics and where they are in the building. However, there are blind spots where the cameras can't see. If they are not to be found, they are most likely right by the door of the office (where the player is). The …show more content…
After beating night five, the player will be awarded with a star and text that says “night six.” Click it and it takes the player to the sixth night. This is extremely challenging, be prepared for a bunch of jump scares. Every time the player checks the camera, close the right door to prevent Freddy from getting in. After accomplishing the sixth night, the player will be awarded with another star, and the custom night. On this night, one can change the animatronics’ artificial intelligence (AI) from 0-20. If the player sets AI to 20-20-20-20, it will take the player to the ultra ire challenge. The robots are active at the start of the night. Close the right door every time the player checks the camera, and don't forget to check on Foxy. Completing the sixth night and 20-20-20-20 mode are major accomplishments for a
“Do you like scary movies?” purred a sinister voice over the telephone, and immediately Scream had marked itself out as something new in a tired genre. When it was released in 1996, the classic slasher franchises had all pretty much ran out of steam. Scream was different, it was a breath of fresh air: smart and self-referential, it reminded horror fans what they loved about the genre in the first place, and scared them silly at the same time.
“We had been foolish virgins in the war right at the end of childhood” Slaughterhouse Five-Kurt Vonnegut “The children’s crusade started in 1213 when two monks got the idea of raising armies of children in France and Germany, and selling them in North Africa as slaves. Thirty thousand children volunteered thinking they were going to Palestine. (p.16) The Children’s Crusade and the World Wars are similar because of the drafting of the innocent to do the duties of a nation.
The 1970s consisted of many nostalgic teen movies from Grease to American Graffiti to Cooley High, but few hold up as well in the present day as the cult classic Animal House. Walking around a college campus, one can still hear students quoting lines from the film, or see a poster of John Belushi chugging a bottle of Jack Daniels in someone’s living room, or even see students wearing the infamous “College” shirt. Animal House is such a staple of college life, even with it being over thirty years since its release. Being able to relate to students throughout the different generations is the main reason this film has done so well for itself.
It was a cool, crisp November evening, while five teenagers were hustling and bustling around my house excitedly getting ready for their very first showing of the live version of their all time favorite movie. They knew it would be the best night of their lives. The night of my 15th birthday party, my friends and I all piled into my parents car around 11:00 PM and headed off down the road to the Heights Theater. The movie we are about to see is an all time classic. The Rocky Horror Picture Show is the best cult film of all time. The movie has all the three basic elements it should have. It has funny audience participation, wonderful acting, and a great story line.
Will Wright is the guest editor at Wired magazine and cofounder of Maxis, a game development company. On April 2006 he wrote the “Dream Machines” story in Wired, which expressed his opinion on video games. He wrote about his vision on them and he defended the opinion that video games not that bad how a lot of people think. In his article, he discusses that games have positive effects on children and teenagers’ minds. For example, he shows that children use a science method to understand games’ rules; before they will find the right button they do a lot of mistakes. He believes that this type of tactic improves children’s critical thinking. Furthermore, he gives an example that when you are watching a movie you cannot do anything and for some people it is boring; however, when you play video games you should control everything by yourself what is more interesting. At the end of his text, Will Wright explains that some games can give teenagers a chance to have an experience in some types of interesting professions. For instance, the game American Army gives people a chance to control a soldier and understand how to be a soldier in a real life. Thus, the writer tries to defend video games and he
Sex, adultery, rock and roll, and belonging. These are just some of the things that draw teens into The Rocky Horror Picture Show every Friday and Saturday night. Most teens are drawn in by a family connection and there are still others who are simply drawn in by the curiosity brought up by the name of the show alone. I was drawn in because of family and friend ties to the show. Many teens who go find themselves in a place where they feel that they belong. Teens who normally get called “freaks” go to Rocky because it is a place where they are no longer considered that. Every person that attends Rocky has a certain uniqueness about them that is celebrated at every show. When you go to Rocky, you meet others who are just like you. This helps to build friendships and bonds between the attendees. It also creates an air of family in the theater that goes everywhere with you.
Besides the violent contents, video games have several positive aspects. Video games can push children's competence to the limit by forcing them to master certain ability to overcome the obstacles in the level. For example, "Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six" series have become one of the games that requires intense dedication and concentration. The player acts as the leader of an elite anti-terrorist squad consisting of three or four members. At the beginning of the game, players can choose how to infiltrate the terrorist compound, either by planting an explosive on the door, using a fast rope from the rooftop or simply breaching into several doors to create a surprise assault. These options will ignite the sense of logical thinking and strategy formations in which formal education does not offer.
High school athletics leave a major impact on everybody that is involved with them. It also can even leave a mark on people who aren’t associated with them. There are many conflicting opinions on whether high school sports are a positive or negative influence on a student’s life. Athletics in high school can have an effect on the community as a whole. In H.G. Bisssinger’s highly regarded Friday Night Lights, high school football is accurately portrayed as the most important thing in Texas; it receives much more attention than academics. Football players are often treated like celebrities; yielding confidence, and at the same time creating pressure.
Menace II Society, a film about a young Black man who has lived the “hustler” lifestyle and is struggling to leave it, is a perfect example of deviance as the main character, Caine Lawson, and the characters around him violate many of society’s norms. Throughout the film, the characters swear incessantly, carry around guns and drugs as most people would carry around cell phones, commit street crimes, especially burglary and mugging, on a regular basis, and beat and kill people unscrupulously. The following quote captures just how deviant Caine and the other characters in this film were, “[Caine] went into the store just to get a beer. Came out an accessory to murder and armed robbery. It's funny like that in the hood sometimes. You never knew what was gonna happen, or when” (Albert Hughes). Why would Caine consider these crimes “funny”, or rather, so insignificant? What caused Caine to become so deviant? The answers to such questions were woven into the plot of the film and will be discussed in the following paragraphs.
During the late 80’s, Phil Alden Robinson developed a sensational story that revolved around a real life account of a sport tragedy. The viewers were immersed in a touching account of how sport, a social interest, can play a powerful role in human bonding; thus becoming a very spiritual component of life. It in itself has a profound effect on the societies’ spiritual experiences; and just like religion can respectfully be considered a form of spirituality for a modern society, as exemplified in Robinson’s movie ‘Field of Dreams’. This story resonates far beyond the power of dreams, its appeal lies in a vision of a perfect sport and the love for which can inadvertently resolve issues no matter how grand. The plot at first presents itself as a complex; or maybe even a strange series of events, but somehow its scenes string themselves into a moral about redemption and deep interpersonal bonds.
Monsters Inc. is an incredible animated movie (by Pixar Studios, 2001, and directed by Pete Doctor) about monsters working in a scare factory. Proudly, the scare factory – a pillar in the community – is a workplace in a monster world where monsters scare children. Through a high-tech system, doors are brought to the factory that, if activated, allows the monsters to enter the child’s room through the youngster’s closet. The scream produced by the child creates energy for the monster world, so that monsters can do everyday things, such as quickly turning on a light or vacuuming the carpet. However, this is not an easy job because children are extremely toxic to monsters (who tremble when a child is near), and are also becoming increasingly hard to scare. With lessoned screams, Monstropolis (the monsters’ world) is experiencing a scream shortage. Who will save the day?
While a rational mind can deduce that fictional characters are not real, Carroll claims that “our emotional response to fictions would appear to entail that fictional characters exist,” creating a confusion between what is real and what is not (62). In other words, while Pyramid Head may not be physically in the same reality as the audience, the player’s emotional reaction to his presence and actions is a real response. This fictional theory, known as the Illusion Theory of Fiction, is shown through a confrontation with Pyramid Head, when James and Maria are being chased through a tight hallway in a camera angle that incites fear and claustrophobia in the player. While Carroll claims that the illusional fear response is “best applied in visual phenomena,” like cinema and plays, its effects are amplified in video games (63). In horror video games like Silent Hill 2, the player identifies with the main character more than film because they are controlling the characters actions and decisions. Thus, the illusion of fearful emotions are more genuine in Silent Hill 2 because players are directly affected as the James character through injury and
One day when Holly and the narrator go for a walk through Fifth Avenue on a beautiful Autumn day Holly seems interested in the narrator's childhood without really telling him about her own, even though talking about herself is something she does quite often. "...it was elusive, nameless, placeless, an impressionistic recital, though the impression received was contrary to what one expected, for she gave an almost voluptuous account of swimming in summer, Christmas trees, pretty cousins and parties: in short, happy in a way she was not, and never, certainly, the background of a child who had run away" (54). Holly's character has such a dramatic flair that the reader nor the narrator never really know what to expect from her. On some occasions she will openly talk about outrageous taboos with perfect strangers and on others she will claw like a cat anyone who gets too close to her: "I asked her how and why she left home so young. She looked at me blankly, and rubbed her nose, as though it tickled: a gesture, seeing often repeated, I came to recognize as a signal that one was trespassing" (20). Holly is not only a physical paradox of a girl and a woman, but so is her personality, she has an odd mixture of child-like innocence and street smart sexuality.
