Hey again!
Over the weekend I played, well "tried to" play two video games that were extremely different. One I had played before and the other I had never played and to this day, still do not understand. The first one I had played with the Michael Jackson The Experience dance game on the wii. I played this with the little girl I babysat because she absolutely loves Michael Jackson and, well I figured it would get her tired before bed. If someone were to find this game years and years from now it could tell that our culture was very media based. We, as a society, like to "idolize" our favorite movie/music star and this game is just one way we are able to do it by being able to copy Michael Jacksons moves and "trying" to dance like him.
Another game I "tried to" play was Call of Duty. I am not sure if there was a number or name after that it was just one of them. This game just confused me and made me realize that I have really slow reflexes, when it comes to shooting people that already killed me apparently. If someone were to find this game years from now it might be able to say that our culture was entertained by violence. This could mean that people liked the thrill of "killing people" or even got an adreline rush when doing so, but only in this type of video game of course, not in real life.
