Jason's Week 6: The Season Starts

  It is my favorite time of year, basketball season at school. I love basketball, it has been one of my favorites sports ever since I was a little kid. I have played on a bunch of recreational teams, school teams, club teams, travel teams, and more. The excitement mixed with the strategy and teamwork is exhilarating to be a part of. It doesn't matter if you're a coach, a player, a fan, or a ref, everyone loves watching these thrilling games. Additionally, I am one of the most competitive people you will ever meet, so it is even more fun getting to compete against other teams and giving it my all out on the court. 

    Nothing tops the energy of your friends in the stands while playing with your friends on the court. Not only is basketball enjoyable and exciting, but it teaches sportsmanship and working as a team. I've learned how to win gracefully and lose with dignity......even though winning is much more fun. Also, since basketball is a game of teamwork and unity, it requires leaders, and gives those who are more experienced, skilled, and knowledgeable a chance to lead and educate their teammates. 

    After months of training and working towards improving my skills and capabilities, it is so rewarding getting to display them on the court and partake in my team's success. Plus, basketball is also just a fun way to play an activity you love and enjoy, while burning calories, staying active, and keeping a healthy lifestyle.

    Do you enjoy playing or watching basketball?

Sarah - Week 4 - Florida whether is not a great as people say it is.

      Many people say that Florida's weather is great because it is sunny, happy, and never cold. However, in my opinion, there is such a thing as too much sun. I don't understand how anyone could enjoy the pain your eyes feel going from a neutral room to the bright outdoors. Sun also isn't necessarily good for you. Its main health benefits are that it can boost your mood and provide you with vitamin D. However, its negative health effects include damage to your skin, eyes, and immune system. Excessive skin damage from the sun can even cause skin cancer.     Another reason why I don't like Florida's weather is because it only has two seasons. It is either hurricane season, or it is extra hot. Plus, you don't get to experience the beautiful colors of the trees changing in fall or the gorgeous scenery of a white winter. A few Floridians have never even seen snow before. This is crazy to me since playing in the snow with my brothers was one of my favorite thi...

Leah Mousseri - Week 2 - A Book in a Game?!

Image
      In the 21st century, there's a game for everyone. From shooting games to simple farming simulators it's almost impossible to not find a video game that interests you. One category of video games that I think is disliked by many for the wrong reasons is visual novel games. These games largely consist of dialogue and are often slow-paced and more relaxing compared to other genres. Visual novel games focus more on the story and characters rather than things like puzzles or combat.       The most common argument that I've heard against these games is that they're the same as a regular visual novel and have little to no actual gameplay in them. From my personal experience playing games in this genre, this is true for many visual novel games. I have played games that almost entirely consist of dialogue with a few choices that determine which ending you get. In my opinion, these games aren't very entertaining unless the story is well-written and compell...

Zander 5: Why Do We Care About Remakes?

Image
  A pattern I’ve begun to notice recently is that many of the most popular video games and movies often tend to be remakes of old pieces of media. While the most obvious examples of this would be the remakes of old Disney movies that have been released over the past several years, there are many more examples of this. For example, one of the most popular games this year was the remake of Resident Evil 4, and one of the most anticipated upcoming releases is the remake of Persona 3. So why is this, and what is the interest of playing a game you’ve already played, or watching a movie you’ve already seen? Well, firstly, there’s the appeal to those who never played or watched the previous piece of media. The appeal to this group is obvious, as to them, it’s new content. Even if one already knows the plot and twists of a story, experiencing it first hand can still be entertaining. Even if  you’re already familiar with a piece of media, viewing or playing it’s remake doesn’t complete...
