Joey Siemens- Week 7; Why are videogames worse now?

      The childhood days. What was so good about them? One of the best things about my childhood days was the video games. I used to play Mariokart, pokemon, prime Fortnite, and many others. Back then, the video games were so fun. There were many different types of fun Mario games. There was Fortnite with the best maps. What happened? Now they come out with video games like Fall Guys and MultiVersus (Off Brand Super Smash Brawl). I think they came out with off-brand games because the games back then were so good that they thought they could make something based on the same ideas, but it didn't work as effectively as they thought. I don't know if it is the new technology or just running out of ideas to make better games than during my childhood days because I know back then I always played video games. Now, I don't play them that often because they turn out to be so boring. I appreciate my childhood days so much now because of the many memories I made out of them. Even the mid-tier games like Skylanders were more enjoyable than the games now. All I know is that the companies in the video game business have to step up their game because there is no way on earth that the video games now compare to back then. Do you guys agree with me or do you think there are better games now?

    I 100% agree! Video games are just not the same anymore and its kind of sad. I remember I would spend all day on my Wii, 3DS, and Xbox 360. Now, I rarely turn on my PS4.

Anna Shimonovitc: Week 9 - Northern Attitude by Noah Kahan (with Hozier)

Image
    I haven't actually listened to a lot of Noah Kahan songs, but I have listened to a lot of Hozier songs. I want to specifically discuss Hozier's new song, Northern Attitude, in heavy detail. It's not actually Hozier's song, but he is featured in it. It's a song by Noah Kahan, who you might know from his recently popular song, Stick Season. I don't know what other songs he sings, but oh my god. This new song. It's so amazing and if anyone argues with me they're wrong. The reason I'm even listening to it is because the Andrew Hozier-Byrne sings in it. And when I say listening I mean that I am in a perpetual state of listening to this song, always playing, even if it's just stuck in my head on a loop. The song is just such a good vibe. Like I have no other way to describe it because I'm not going to spend my time actually interpreting the lyrics as if I have nothing else to do besides wonder what some dudes were thinking when they were writi...

Josh Matheson - Week 9; First AP Lang Essay

Image
Last week, we had our first in class timed essay and let's just say it did not go according to plan.  Going into the first essay, I was focused on completing the essay within the 40 minutes and have a great thesis, that can be backed up with enough evidence.  The essay was both a success and a fail, as I finished in time which was one of my concerns, but I did not get specific enough and tie enough evidence back to my thesis.  I realized that even though I had the evidence the most important thing to explain is why the speaker uses that choice.  This generally is what destroyed me because I had the evidence, but did not get specific enough and just left everything vague.  Fortunately,  I am confident that next time will be better,  since this is my first AP essay and the best way to improve is through practice and experiences.  On this essay, I received a 2.5, which is not too good of a score, but at least I will have the revision in order to fix ...

Mia Garaz, Week 9, Nothing To Watch!

Image
With the various amounts of streaming services, such as YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, Max, and more, you would think the possibilities of films to watch are endless! However, lately, this has not been the case. I find myself scrolling for hours, and still, nothing catches my eye. Possibly, this is due to the algorithm. It may not be calculating as well as it should. Though, I don’t feel this is the case. I think there is a major lack of TV series and movies to view across all platforms. Even when they do come out with new releases, they tend to lack substance or an interesting plot. What I have noticed a lot is that the creators and directors are trying to create “relatable” content. Still, it just ends up being cringey (and in my opinion, overly politically correct). With such curated/censored content it destroys the reality and relatability that they were trying to achieve. The sadness of it all is, unfortunately, that it is extremely difficult for a “classic” to be made in this day and ag...
