I'm sitting here trying to type up and outline for a speech I have to give and which is due in about two and half hours. Instead of freaking out and trying to finish the damn thing I keep coming back to this damn site because I just have to see what's going on. I tried to write it last night but NOOOO, I had to go out and find random stuff on the net I could post like gummy bear porn, the shit happens pic, and a sick joke about someones penis. This site = THE reason I'm going to be a full time college student for the next 15 years
I joined S2, got an 85 in calc last year. Fuck first time doing math in like 3 years for me. Good luck
my final year in college, my computer broke about halfway through......it was my easiest academic period even though I was taking hard classes...by far. computers are huge distractions and good for shit.
We are also supposed to do an interview and I forgot to do one.... Hey, Denny, want to be interviewed?!?!
Not sure I like the word "rap" in the Thesis Statement. My own personal example with a benefit from video games is that I received the game Final Fantasy II (IV in Japan) on the Super Nintendo during Christmas 1991 when I was six years old. It was an RPG, so you could level your characters up and such, but the real trick was that it was heavily story based, and there was a lot of text to read. As a result, I had to "read" in order to play the game. I would later go on to other nerdy things like having a drawer full of Star Wars novels, but the point is that I did benefit from reading, as part of the game. From that context, it was an educational experience. Other games were cool, creative, and imaginative, but I can't think of a single one that was as important as Final Fantasy II for me. In some ways I wanted to learn Japan so that I could "use the game" to learn Japanese. That hasn't happened, and Rosetta Stone is better anyways. Also, for a school project years ago, I found a copy of the "Script" from the game, where it essentially is a big text file with all the lines the characters say. It is so well written, you could read that like a short story rather than play the game. It is really cool. Anyone who thinks Final Fantasy VII is better than Final Fantasy 3 (VI) or Final Fantasy 2 (IV) can go fuck themselves for all I care.
Feel free to use my post as your interview. I answered the question "how did playing video games impact your education". Shortened, it could be something like: My own personal example with a benefit from video games is that I received the game Final Fantasy II when I was six years old. The game was heavily story based, so in order to "play" the game I had to read. This experience, reading as a result of the video game, spring-boarded me towards reading other books, and I can say with certainty that it impacted me beneficially and aided in my ability to succeed in the classroom.
