“Console Wars” is a ten-minuet, student made, factual, radio show about gaming. The original idea was to create a show that both entertaining for gaming fans but would still be accessible for people who do not consider themselves gaming fanatics and also factual, so that people would finish listening to the show feeling like they had learning something. The radio show we wanted to make was to be something that would go into a decent amount of detail about gaming without being too confusing to people who do not have an extensive knowledge of the gaming world. The reason we picked the topic of gaming was because, out of our group of five, three group members felt they had a decent knowledge about gaming and we felt it would be an interesting topic that we could get a lot out of. Furthermore one member of our group is a member of the gaming society that we felt we give us access to lots of gamers. One issue we had to address right away was the problem of gaming being a wide topic and just doing our show about gaming was too vague. We felt we needed to look at more specific aspects of gaming. Five subjects were chosen and research was done on all of them to see which would make the most stimulating radio show. The topics we considered were; violence is gaming, mobile gaming vs. console gaming, console wars, local multiplayer vs. online multiplayer and the role of women in video games. All of these topics we researched and we came to the conclusion that console-wars would be the best topic because it had a number of different areas in it which we could disuse. Though we did get to explore some of our other topics through Vox Pops. We felt it was thought provoking and exciting and would make for a really fascinating radio show. That... ... middle of paper ... ...l in telling the story of the band in a interesting and relatable way. I think we got some really beautiful cover shots and used a good amount of them. Despite the fact we only got one interview, the interview that we did get worked really well with a good amount of questions. The documentary was a good length and did not spend too long on one aspect and allow the viewer to get bored. Next time I would try and get more interviews and make sure the story was told in more depth. Bibliography Stewart, Peter, Essential Radio Skills: How to present a radio show, A&C Black, 2010.

  • Jazz Concert Report

    Every performance was presented with charm. The flashing, changing colors seem to go along with the performances. The director was humorous. The performers outfits were on point too. I liked the color coding of the vocalists, Jeremy, Jordan, and Rowan. Also, Julie wore a pretty suede dress and had a great voice. It was nice to see her come out for the 2nd time to sing. When Spencer kept playing his saxophone in some of the performances, it was just amazing. Some of my favorite performances were Sittin on the Dock of the Bay, Ain’t too Proud to Beg, In a Sentimental Mood, and more. It really made me feel like I was in New Orleans all over again. I absolutely love Otis Redding and The Temptations music, so I wasn’t new to these songs they played. I was sitting in the back (R-125) where I felt comfortable to bob my head to the music. If I ever come back to see another concert, I will make sure to get a seat in the back again. I adore Jordan that did sung the Temptations song. I thought it was exciting to see his enthusiasm while on stage keeping us engaged, but everyone did great in their own way. The song by Duke Ellington made me feel melancholy, the piece was soft. I just couldn’t believe how well everyone contributed and gave an outstanding

    In pages 20-24 of Reality Is Broken: Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World, I agree that there are many different video games. For me, I am a fan of single-player games with story modes because I can play by myself and go at a pace that suits me. However, I enjoy playing online multiplayer when I have friends I can play with because it is fun interacting with friends and doing stuff together. I play on a console or my computer, but I have played on my phone and a hand-held device. I have not played a board game or card game in a while, but I would play it if the opportunity presents itself. The video games genres I play are sports, action, and adventure. I agree with Jane McGonigal that video games share four defining traits,

    The film made me think about many things. I like that it examined multiple perspectives from the workers, doctors, and patients. The emergency room was known for its long waiting time, but without access to insurance, many of the patients were forced to come as a last resort. If the documentary was only filmed from the perspective of the patients, it would seem as if the emergency system was corrupted because of how long some of them had to wait. Luckily, the videographers were able to capture the root of the issues

  • Jazz Showcase

    I enjoyed this concert. It was my first real experience with jazz music. To be honest, I didn’t know what to expect, but I left satisfied that I attended. However, there was one thing I did not enjoy. The narrator between songs was not very effective and actually took away somewhat from the concert. He failed numerous times at trying to be humorous and rambled on. My favorite piece was 88 Basie Street. It gave me that easy and relaxed feeling. This piece started softer, and then seemed to pick up with more energy. With my lack of knowledge of Jazz music, I certainly enjoyed this piece the best. I learned how exciting and fun listening to jazz being played live can actually be. I found it very interesting. Like I said earlier, the only thing I would change to make the concert more effective would be to have the narrator speak less.

    “4 out of 5 households contain at least one device used to play video games.” This was said by Colin Campbell, a journalist and writer that published a novel about the gaming industry. We always hear from parents and others that video games are a waste of time, or they kill brain cells, but what about the benefits of playing video games? Why aren’t people talking about the benefits of playing video games? Video games have benefits in multiple areas. A couple areas for example would be education or work related benefits. With the amount of people that play video games whether it’s for a living or if it is just once in a while that you play there’s benefits to playing. I personally see benefits from playing and I’m going to use a little personal experience into this paper as a first hand account.
