Civics:National poitics

My opinion of the Cain AD is just plain stupid, because the video doesn't take things seriously. And when things don't go serious, it is most likely to gain bad reputation. And if that happens seems like Herman Cain won't make it far in his campaign. Specially towards Cain's attitude, he has no manners, he's rude. And in my perspective I think it would be a bad idea to vote for him. Now do you think he'll do what he said? Getting "united the United States"? With that kind of attitude, I don't think he'll make it far. But he has luck because he has Ann Coulter which is not good, this woman is supporting Cain just because he's republican.

9/11

How old were you on September 11, 2001?

During 9/11, I was 3 years old

When did you first learn about the attacks and who explained the events to you?

I learned
about the tragic moment when I started 1st grade.

What kind of impact did these attacks have on your life or your parents lives?

My parents became more paranoid, and I became curious asking myself, Why are they doing this?

What was the issue with this game?

It is insulting the ones that terrorized our country which is not good because they might come back and do something again.

How do you feel about it?

I don't like the game because it's not the right thing to do, it just makes things worse.

What is the problem with portraying on such an awful violent event through a video game?

It brings memories to people which may not like, and the major reason is that the ones that terrorized the twin towers may take that game as an insult and make a comeback.

How can you make sure that your web games tell the whole story or teach a lesson in an honorable way?

By making an educational game with trivia and no violence.

Nintendo 3DS

The new 3DS has a interesting change from the old DS. The reason why I'm saying that is because the games of the 3DS have better graphics, it is now 3 dimensional, and it allows more activity. Now the 3DS is pretty cool but its kind of old style looking, not like the new PSP NGP, the NGP and the 3DS are a bit of portable rivals, it is SONY v.s NINTENDO. I would go with SONY because the NGP has better graphics and more activity. But that doesn't mean I don't like the 3DS I just like the NGP more. Anyways the 3DS has better games that will be released soon.

Miguel V 9 2011

First of all I would be marketing the game in T.V, radio and internet, that way I get to sell the game faster. The celebrity would be, Tony Hawk because, he is one of the most famous skaters of the world. Not to mention the topic is based on global warming, in this game Tony Hawk has to convince the world to use bikes skateboards, or anything that is not involved with cars or anything with pollutants.

Tragedy in japan.

Right now in Japan theres thousands of people that died during the tsunami. There is people that is going there to help Japan i think I would help by donating money for every honk I got from the public. Like each honk is 10 bucks donated to Japan. I got this idea from a guy that did this to help Japan.

PSP NGP

Introducing the new playstation portable next generation portable (psp ngp). The reason I wanted to share this video to the class is because this is something new that can be used for many things like getting on bluetooth, internet, etc. another thing about it is that it has a touch screen, motin a pad behind it which creates motion, and added two cameras one in the front and the other on the back.

Jet Ski addition

This game was my favorite, followed by math man. Anyways the objective

of the game is to be in first place. All you got to o is play online with other

people, its pretty easy to. Because in order to win you must be good in

math. At first it was kinda complicated, because I didn't know how to

play it but then I sort of understand the objective. But the weird part is

that I always finish in third.
