Uploading video clip
Today I uploaded my ideas of what my game was going to be about on my wiki. Honestly i made it a lot harder than it should of been. If I didn't have to use flash again I don't think I would be very upset, but ill just keep on doing what I'm doing. My game topic is going to be on poverty or along those lines. Hopefully everything turns a okay for me and my game creating skills. So now that i know how to upload files to my wiki , I think my life will be a whole lot easier.

Anglo saxons VS Video game Heros
Today I am blogging on the comparison of Video game hero's. So my first hero, my real life hero will be Nolan Ryan. From 1972 to 1979 Ryan was a hero to the pitching staff of the California Angels. Batters & even his own catcher feared him and his scorching fastball. He was a hero to his team and his fans. He played 27 seasons with 4 different teams, all of which he threw no hitters with besides the Mets. So Nolan Ryan was a hero to all baseball fans and made his way into the baseball hall of fame . So Nolan Ryan Real life hero, Now for my Anglo Saxon hero. Beowulf, Beowulf was a hero way back in the day. He fought for his people and what he thought was right. Always standing up for what he believed in and never once backing down or giving up on anything he did. He always kept pushing himself to do better and to be better to his people . So how do these 2 heros compare to each other ? Well beside both being heros both perform outstanding deeds. Fro example From Beuwulf "Higlac's brave follower tearing out his hand of the monster, his hatred rose higher but his power has gone." that seems like a good deed to me Nolan Ryan was comitted to his team throwing over 5000 strikeouts for his teams. That takes alot of dedication which to me is a good deed. Both Beowulf and Nolan Ryan give good speeches which makes a hero , they always know what to say. Both heros have a dedication to certain thing or group. Nolan Ryan to baseball and his team, Beowulf to his city and his people. Both are great heros. So to wrap this up I think that The Anglo Saxon heros put influence on the people who create video game heros today. They also influence people to do good. So these heros are not very differnt from each other if you think about . I actually think they favor each other alot.

Using Flash
Yesterday i used flash for the 2nd time in my life, I have one word for it , Difficult. I found it very confusing and hard to use. Once I got the hang of it I started to like it a little better. I'm not going to say it was my favorite thing in the world but Id be able to do it if someone asked me to help them with it . So to flash , I don't like you but I guess I have to deal with it .

Beowulf 3
Today I am blogging about what Beowulf is leaving to his people. Beowulf is leaving many things to, such as his legacy. Beowulf will always have a long lasting positive influence on his people. Another thing he is leaving them is hope. Since he is a hero , he has taken care of most of the bad things, therefore there is a bright future ahead of them. Beowulf has paved a bright way for his people and I'm sure things will go great for them. The biggest thing Beowulf is leaving the people is courage. Just from Beowulf being with these people , they have a sense of courage. The courage that they have learned enough skill and been taught enough to be able to live and thrive on their own. So Beowulf has left many things for these people to live off of. His legacy will influence his people to do what they have to do to survive.

Beowulf 2
Today I am blogging on a few questions asked by my English teacher on the book Beowulf. The first question asked me what I thought the storyteller's purpose of telling me about Beowulf was. Well i think that Beowulf had an impact on this persons life in one way or another. He must of been some kind of influence to this person or he or she wouldn't have a reason to tell us his great tale. So the main purpose of telling me about Beowulf was just by the fact of this person being helped out or influenced by Beowulf himself. The next question was , how do i think the storytellers beliefs of the intended audience affect the content of the story ? So back in the day when these story's were told, they were told at party's where people were hammered and very rarely remember what they were told the night before. So the storyteller must believe that his story will be turned around somehow due to the fact that these people wont remember what he or she had told them about the great warrior Beowulf.

Beowulf
Today my blog post is about Beowulf. Do I think that he meets the requirements to have the title of hero thus far ? My answer is no not yet but I think he will end up being a great leader and earn the title of hero. So far he seems like someone that everyone is looking up to ,to be a leader . Right know we know a little about beowulf. He is said to be the hero of all heros.
So from my point of view I havent seen it yet but I'm sure will. As for beowulf being a good game character i think he waould make a great game character. As you should know most games are made with a hero and a villian. Beowulf in the story is a man fighting against evil and everything that comes with it. So i think he is a very good candidate for a game character.

Heros
everybody in life has a hero . Me I have two, my parents. they support me in evrything that i do. From school work to baseball season the are always there. There is never a time when I ask for help that they dont succeed. They face many challenges everyday such as taking care of and supporting our family. There are so many things they do that make them heros. They will always be there for me.
Game Reflections
Yesterday i played 2 games in class and i was told to blog on them. The two games I played differed in many ways. The first game i played was about a family trying to survive a massive genocide, the other was just very simple swim from one side to the other and make it across without dying. Both games were interesting and caught my attention before I played the games. There were some ups and downs to both games but not very many. All in all i thought both games were very well made.
