Gaming Gone Wild

In my opinion, i believe gaming does steal from the youth, but if they have enough self control they can handle this and participate in other fun outdoor sports or helping at churches, volunteering is also a good option. Sometimes gaming plays a large part of people's lives, but to me I believe i can survive without gaming. I started playing games on my PC starting with classics such as NHL 99 and Triple Play 2000, these games were surprisingly really fun, and when I was a kid I would always play it after school on Friday. Though i don't play those games anymore on the PC. My first actual game system was my PlayStation 2 (PS2) i had to ask for a actual game system for a long time, when i finally got it, i was sort of addicted to it cause owning something you wanted for a long time is something very satisfying. My first games for my PlayStation 2 was NHL 2004 and NBA Live 05, but gradually lost interest in those games, but instead bought newer versions of the game, as i was attracted to the new features and functions such as dekes your can pull off in a newer version of the NHL game and updated rosters for NBA games. Before i got a gaming console, I would always hear people talk about what new games they bought for their game systems etc. I would always be excited when i could go to a friends house and play on their system. Currently i only own two systems a PS2 and a Wii, as for handhelds i have a Nintendo DS Lite

When comparing the games such as tetris, mario brothers. I personally have played these games and felt that these games can still be exciting for some and to me these are classics. New games come out every year for sports games, and as for other action packed games, they would come out once they see sales for the other game is falling etc.
New gaming consoles, as long as i believe my system is still functioning and games will still come out for the console, i would not buy a new system. I have handheld game system Nintendo DS lite and i feel this one is better than the recently released handheld Nintendo DSi, the only differences are there is a camera and screens are slightly changed nothing much.
Some games i think i won't get addicted to would be guitar hero or rock band because I'm not fond of those games, my hand eye coordination isn't as great, so therefore i won't be playing that particular game.

The Campaign Trail

After reviewing the videos posted. I felt that the first commercial was quite funny, it was a commercial that would make people laugh, and it wanted viewers to remember the name of the company who made up this commercial which was the beer brand Budweiser. That being said, the newer commercial made in 2008 by now president-elect Barack Obama Campaign was quite interesting for it covered the main struggling points of the United States, and indicated the main problems starting with the first guy in the first video he was enjoying a football game and drinking his beer but in Obama's Campaign Video he's unemployed and is I believe looking for a job at the Classified section of his newspaper, depressed he answers the call from his friend in Iraq, the second guy is serving in the war in Iraq, so therefore the second issue is about War and how the US is still in Iraq. Another guy walks in with casts on, asking for painkillers. This means that he cannot afford to buy it, health care is the issue covered. In the US you have to pay for your own health care, which is quite a hefty sum. The fourth character called "Dukie" is called upon, he is still on Internet looking at his stocks, as he looks at them he can see a huge drop as the red arrows are point down, this means the Economy is another issue. The last character enters in the background you can see him struggling to hang on with the huge gusts of wind pulling him off the ground. This means that there are Environmental issues.

In my opinion I felt it must have took the campaign quite a long time to think about this very interesting commercial, they must have reviewed many commercials and tried to incorporate fresh idea in a newer commercial. Characters in the second one look as they were the same, their clothing were different; they made small adjustments such as the different number on the jersey etc. The characters didn't look like they were as happy as they were in the Budweiser commercial.

If I were able to vote, I would vote for the Democratic Candidate and now President-Elect Barack Obama. He won lots of people’s vote, the young and the old by signalling that there shall be change when he gets elected, but from I personally feel, all professional politicians all say they will do this and do that (but they don’t really do exactly as they once said) when they get voted in, but we will have to see if Barack Obama keeps his word. But seriously I personally don’t care whoever gets voted in as the US president. I would actually be interested in seeing Hilary Clinton on becoming the first female president, wouldn’t that be something. But then again I am probably more concerned about the federal government in Canada or perhaps the Liberal Convention to determine a replacement for Current Opposition Stephane Dion. I have also notice that there is more concern over the US president election compared to the Canadian Federal Elections; remember that you are in Canada not the US. Let me remind you our current Prime Minister is Stephen Harper not Barack Obama. I am happy for Obama and in the end I congratulate Barack Obama on becoming the first African American President of the United States. Mission Accomplished Obama!!
