After playing a few games on "playing to learn", I have decided to make a game in the sports area.  Personally, I enjoy playing sport based games, and I would like to make one for that reason. Sports, being a big topic, my game that I am most interested in making is a baseball game. I choose baseball because, I like to play baseball as an athlete and as video games. Baseball has a lot of influence on my life, which gives another good reason for why I pick this topic.

Privacy Importance.

Why is it important to protect privacy on the internet?

In today's world, there are a lot of dangers you can encounter over the internet. Dangers such as: predators, cyber bullying, sexual harassment, identity theft, and so on. To prevent most of these dangers, you should not show any sort of personal information that anybody can reach and see over the internet. You shouldn't put your last name, phone numbers, emails, address where you live, or anything else that can be used to track you down by predators that would want to find and hurt you.

What kind of game do I want to make?

A game that appeals to mostly teens and young adults. I would like for the game to have a baseball theme. Also, I want to include music, mainly hip hop, for the background sound. I would like for this class to help me, and get a better understanding about game design so I can continue to do it as a career after high school and college. West Virginia University has a program in game design that I would like to attend. I look forward to the future in this class and all the other assignments we do.

What am I most excited about?

I guess you could say I am most excited to create my own game for others to play. I enjoy playing video games on my PS3 and I would like to create one and play it, giving me a since of achievement by beating my own game.

A great game, in my opinion, is Madden 11, and I would like to make a game like it someday.
