Jasons Lewin's Week 9: Fortnite !

    Fortnite battle royal, has 500 million registered users, have generated a revenue of over $26 billion to date, and continues to hold its position as one of the most popular battle royale games. It was created in 2017 and has grown exponentially until now. The company that created this game, along with many other games is Epic games. I used to love playing Fortnite when I would wake up late at night. It was so fun connecting with all my friends and all of us playing and talking together from different gaming consoles. I originally started playing on xbox, and then Nintendo, and then keyboard and mouse. 

        Last weekend, Fortnite brought back the old map, all the old weapons, and it was a blast. They had the largest number of players they have had in a while. For example, me and all my friends who haven't played the game in over a year, all decided to redownload the game, log online, buy the battle pass, and play together all weekend. 

        Fortnite is free to download, has frequent map changes, and exhilarating in-game events that keeps players on the edge of their seats and eager to explore what's next. They do in-game collaborations with famous actors, artists, sports players, and popular social media influencers. Fortnite became so popular, so fast because there is no blood, it's appropriate and fun for all ages, bridges the gap between casual and competitive gaming, and who wouldn't download a free game and try it if it seems fun. In my opinion, Fortnite is a testament to the transformative power of interactive entertainment in the last 6 years. 

                                            Have you ever heard of Fortnite or played the game?

    This is an interesting blog! I think it's really nice that they have brought back all the old maps and features. I have played Fortnite once and it was pretty fun although I'm not too good at it.

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...
