The Video Game Of All Time

I have played many video games over the years in different genres and skill sets. As a connoisseur of video games there is no game that hits different than RollerCoaster Tycoon (RTC).

Nostalgia plays a huge factor into this for me. I grew playing RTC for years and was the game that honestly made me fall in love with playing video games. RTC made me fall in love with roller coasters and amusement parks. RTC has provided me with some of my best memories from growing up. I can remember in the wintertime going outside to sled with my older sisters and we would come back inside and drink hot coco and play RTC together for hours.

I think it is the perfect game because there is so much freedom in choosing what to do and how to do it. There is no right or wrong way to play the game. This is the main reason why I think RTC is the best game I have ever played. You do not even need to know what you are doing to have a great time playing the game. And since I have played RTC for so long it is really rewarding to become good at the game and it is still a ton of fun. RTC came out in 1999. There is before I was even born! That is a bit crazy if you ask me that a game that is over 22 years old is my favorite game of all time. It just shows that games do not need fancy graphics and complicated gameplay or story lines to create a fun enjoyable experience. RTC has grainy pixelated graphics but they just seem to work and flow with the game.

In my opinion the best types of games are the ones which are simple and easy to learn but hard and time consuming to master. Either way the player feels rewarded and has an enjoyable time. RTC is just one of many like this for me but it is definitely my number one. Without I would be a completely different person. Think about it if I never play RTC I may have never played backyard soccer, 3d chess, I would have never played the Wii, I would have never bought an Xbox, and eventually never built a PC. It is crazy how play one video game has changed my life.

Week 4 SMSC

As week 4 rolls around and is ending there has been something on my mind recently that happened by in May after school ended. When finals were done and I went home and was excited for summer. I needed time away from the classroom and this would be my final summer where I was able to spend most of it with the family. About 3 days after I had been home my granny came to visit my sister who was in town and me at our house. My grandma never liked being called grandma so we called her granny. We ate lunch together and talk for a long time since it had been a while since I had seen her in person with covid and everything. She mentioned how lonely she had become because of it and she had no one to talk to a lot of the time. I told her that I would spend the summer at her house cleaning it out like I did last summer. Eventually she ended up leaving and going home since there was a storm coming, she did not want to be caught in it. 2 days later it is mother’s day. In my family on mother’s d

USA vs. Mexico

There was a huge soccer match this past Friday night. USA played Mexico in Cincinnati for their seventh world cup qualifying match. This means they are halfway through world cup qualifying for the 2022 world cup in Qatar. The match is extremely important since Mexico was top of the group before the match was played and if USA won the match, we would move into first place above Mexico. The match was crazy! Pulisic is USA’s best player but he has recently just come back from injury so he did not start. Usually, USA starts off their matches slowly and does not play to well in the first half. Mexico dominated the first half but thankfully did not get a goal. Then the second half started and this is where the action truly began. The game became more chippy and emotions started to rise up. USA started to look better but Mexico was still getting the better chances. That was until Pulisic was subbed into the game with 25 minutes to go. As soon as he came into the game the mentally of the who

Week 3 Social Media for Strategic Communication Chapters 4-6

This week we read Chapters 4-6 in Social Media for Strategic Communication. Chapter 6 specifically stood out to me. In anything we do we should have a plan of what we want to accomplish. Chapter 6 talks about strategic planning for social media. I found this intriguing because most people who use social media do this to some extent. When someone is making a social media post, they subconsciously think about pre-existing information on whatever they are going to post. While individuals may not explicitly think about what they want from their social media post. People post to get a reaction, or they have an end goal to what they posted. They may not necessarily follow every step laid out in chapter 6, but the mindset is similar. This chapter opened my mind to what companies think about potentially when posting on their social media’s. The end goal of a company is to make money. So, when they are doing social media posts whether it is promoting or just creating conversation online com
