Video Games

When games where officailly made was in the 1950's. The first game over made was a tic-tac-toe game, that was a computer game was made in 1952 by a A.S. Douglas who wrote is PhD degree at the University of Cambridge on Human-Computer interraction. The game was programmed on a EDSAC vaccuum-tube computer, which had a cathode ray tube display. William Higinbotham created the first video game ever in 1958. His game, was called "Tennis for Two," and was created and played on a Brookhaven National Laboratory oscilloscope. Another game that was made in 1962, which was made by Steve Russell who made a game called Spacewar. Spacewar was the first game intended for computer use. Now that I got you caught up on the amazing world of gaming, I can now tell you about my life with gaming and how I got introduced to the world of gaming. The way I got introduced to the world of gaming is through my bestfriend. He had showed me and let me play tons of amazing games and I just enjoyed it ever since then. Well first my friend got me started on gamecube games. Its a system that sort of looks like a big cube and it plays cool, hard games. You use a small controller with these buttons: A, B, Y, X, Right and Left trigger, Rb and Lb trigger, and an analog stick to control the movement of your character on most of the games you can play. On gamecube they have alot of kid games but they also have beast shooter games and killing games. Then my friend got me started on tougher games on a game system called the xbox 360. On the xbox 360 the games get a lot harder to play and they challege you more. Also the graphics are freaking amazing and keeps you coming for more. The reason I love xbox 360 is because you can get this app. type program to play online with people your age and older and play games with them if they have the same game. You also have this little avatar guy who you can customize and make him/her look how you want them to. Its so cool, the costumes are amazing and so cool. I would just like to say that games are my freaking life, and they just make my life better. If I could i would marry games for the rest of my life.

Book Review #1 new semester

The book "BEC" by Darren Shan is about a medievil girl called Bec who has to go on a mission to close a tunnel between earth and the Demonata world. She meets a little boy called Bran,(who becomes Bernabus in later life,) and closes the tunnel but she gets trapped in a cave and is slaughtered by lord loss's minions. Darren Shan's Bec of the Demonata series is one of the most devastating books in the world and will scare the pee right out of you. This book is based in 400 A.D and 500 A.D. back towards the medievil times when people didn't really know what christians were and why people believed in this so called "Christ". Back then people did magic and were able to cast spells: Healing spells, Destruction spells, and all kinds of abilitys of Dark/Black magic. In this time you can go out and work all day and morning, but when it comes to night time you better be ready to fight a huge pack of Fomorii. One of my most favorite characters in my book is a little boy named Bran. This little kid is so awesome, because he don't really have a thought process so he does a lot of random things like screams out random words he learns about by listening to other people talk, and he has magical powers that he don't really know how to use. The little boy is like a total amazing kid with an awesome ability, but he can't really even use it. I absolutely love the style of writing the author uses in this book, he is so describtive and vivid when he writes its great. The author is a very funny guy, what he writes just makes me almost bust out laughing, but he writes in a sad way to, but its incredible. I don't think that the author's voice is really all the way evil, but he is very twisted and his imagination is very crazy and messed up just a little bit. This is a incredible book and I think whoever reads this is the greatest person ever and if you haven't read this you most difenantly should try it out, it will blow your mind..
