My name is Patrick McCrudden and I am half Canadian and half Irish. I am a Film Studies major and I would be extremely happy to one day become a motion picture director. An interesting fact about myself is that I am related to Mr. Dressup which is pretty awesome! I have already one three Best Director awards for directing one act plays. One in which I attended the Sears Drama Festival which involved one act plays from numerous high schools in Ontario.
I am more into movies and sports than video games. However, I do play video games on a console when I have nothing better to do. The types of video games that I play are mostly sports games such as MLB 09 and NHL09. The reason why I play sports games is because it is a chanfe from the typical shooting games which I'll admit are fun to play as well, but I can only play them so much. I do not really have a favourite game but if I had to choose it would be MLB 09. The reason being is that it involves one of my favourite sports and that I can make the Blue Jays win the World Series every year.
I think that it is important to talk about virtual worlds, gaming, games, and gamers because video games can influence people who play them in negative ways. For example, the controversy around the grand theft auto series has had an impact on how society views these games as very violent and can influence young teenagers to repeat the actions in the games. However, the online gaming can be looked at in a positive way. It is another way to socialize with different people while remaining in the comfort of their own home.
One of the serious games I have been focusing on is Darfur is Dying. It captured my interest because it reminds me of the movie Hotel Rwanda. It is a game that shows the struggles a child has to endure in Africa. The game, like the movie, reminds me how much more fortunate people take things for granted and that things happen like that in Africa everyday. On a less serious note, it peaked my interest because it is more of an adventure game.
