Before I started this class I honestly did not know what to expect. I love playing video games but I never really looked much deeper into them. Since I took this class I have a different interest when I am playing these games. I think about the characters, the plot, sound tracks, there are so many things I think about now while playing that I didn’t before. I now think that video games can be considered a form of literature or even a film just like a book or movie. They tell stories for our enjoyment which both movies and books to the exact same thing. I never knew there was so much to learn while playing these games. It is crazy for me to think that these games can make a serious impact on your actual life. While playing these games we had to make decisions that can affect these characters between life and death. When doing this we had to be quick on our feet to decide what we were going to do. Now whenever I have to make a serious decision I play some of the outcomes in my head before making my decisions.

My favorite thing about this class was that is was able to give me a chance to dive into a different realm of games that I never even thought about before. I normally was a big sports guy playing Madden, NBA, and MLB but I realized while playing all of these different games that they are just as enjoyable as the sports ones I play. These games have a different purpose to them in my opinion compared to sports games. When I play a sports game I am fully competitive to beat my opponent in whatever we are playing. It is very different when playing a game like The Walking Dead where you have to make split decisions that can determine a characters fate.
In my opinion, my relationship towards all the games I play has changed because of this class. Although I loved them before and I still love them now, I think that I am going to be a lot harder to please now that I know a lot more about games in general. When I used to play it didn’t matter what it was I enjoyed it pretty much no matter what, now that I know what can make a game good versus bad it is going to change my thought process on how the game is.
If I am being honest I am not sure what the next game is that I am going to play. I do still really love to play sports games so I might just wait until the next MLB game comes out to play that but I am not too sure. There was also a fairly new call of duty that came out which looks very enjoyable so I might try that.
Overall, I did really enjoy playing so many of these games that provided me with so many different feelings. Although I was horrible at a few of them it was still great to get some new experiences. I think it was great we were able to have serious conversations and talk about how we felt about a certain game or scene. Hopefully everybody who takes this class in the future experiences the same feelings I did.
