Presentation

The presentation turned out pretty well. I am glad that we have been able to experience something like this while working on our games. It gives an incentive to reach out and beyond the class expectations to achieve something great.

My Favorite Game

My favorite game that I have played is probably Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth II. It is a real-time strategy game that is played by building a settlement, creating an army, and then destroying your opponents settlement. I estimate that the production of this game lasted about two to four years, but have been unable to find the exact time on the internet.

Demo

While I have not actually learned anything new during the rpoduction of our game demo, I have strengthened the things that I was already aware of. The pupose of our game was not to help us learn, but to make it easier for others that do not already have a firm understanding of our subject matter.

Using Civics Ideas in STEM

Civic can easily be incorporated into STEM. One could make a game that deals with managing credit, a game that explains the relationship between technological advances and citizen rights, or a game that talks about technological advancement and its correlation with living conditions.

Favorite Gaming Example

I prefer to play the Xbox 360 over the other gaming systems. I like it more because of the multiplayer experience over the internet, and the graphics that it has. I typically spend a few hours a week playing Xbox.

Favorite Experience

My personal favorite moments that have been spent in this class are those that are related to teamwork. Working with my team mate is an experience that is very enjoyable and shows how to minds working together can produce something that they otherwise would have been unable to.

Military

I have always been one to appreciate the armed forces. I will always openly support the men that give their lives to protect the individuals that live in our nation.
