Blog assignment 0.1

Well I do not really have to muchh to say on the first chapter that we had to read for this class. I thought it was a little dry and very boring. I actually could not completely focus on it at all. I had to stop so I could play Left 4 Dead, a friend from class was suppose to play with me but she let me down, before I could finish reading the chapter. Besides I honestly do not remember much of what I read. So, I think I will focus this post on the article “Videogames or Video games -- What Are We Talking About?” First off I would like to say that I think “Video games” is a good name for it. “Digital games” sounds ok, but not as good as “Video games”. Another thing I always thought that the proper way to spell the word was with a space in between “video” and “game” , I do not see why it makes a difference in whetther there is a space or not in between the two words but I guess I am a little more lax than other people when it comes to stuff like that. When we really think about it all a video game really is, is just a game that people play that is being displayed through a form of video output. They have been called video games for decades leave it alone. Young people all feel the need to change things that are fine just the way they are. I think that people are being to technical with this concept of calling them “Digital games” there isn’t really a need for that. They can’t just change the name from video game to digital games. If that’s the case then all other games should be called analog games from now on. I do not see anyone bringing up that debate. If it is not broke why try to fix it?
