Has any benefit for play game? In some people's opinion, the games within the learning context as opposed to the activity only for the leisure time. From the learner point of view using a game for learning can have various meanings. Learning and having fun, taking the challenge and achieve better score, trying out different roles, being able to experiment and seeing what happens, being able to express the feelings, be able to reflect about certain conflict situation. In the video of "Game can make a better world", Jane McGonigal state that game is a good thing for us. I agree with Jane that the game can make a better world.
In the video, Jane McGonigaal said that the "World of Warcraft" players spent about 593 years in time to solve a variety of virtual Azeroth problems. This is not a bad thing though sounds bad but you have to think about 5.93 million years ago, our primate ancestors began walking upright became the first upright walking primates. So, when we talked about how much time playing video games, as long as rational and think: in the course of human evolution, the time we spent many, compared to how impressive is that it is reasonable, because you will find we spend so much time playing games, but gradually changed our ability as human beings.
Also she talks about four things: urgent optimism; social fabric; Blissful productivity; epic meaning.

People can make lots of friends in the game, also they will feel good, and get more reliance. Lots of people will use the game to get away to the real life,
 Because they can get what they need in the game.

Five games am I play:"This is the only level", "You have to burn the rope",

"dys4ia", "Lesbian Spider-Queens of Mars", and "Redder".

This is the only level:

This game is amazing, but also it's hard to finish it. (I'm stuck on stage 8 lol)


You have to burn the rope:

The object of the game is fairly simple, like the game itself. Get the fire, and go of the rope and burn it. The song is longer than the game, also I think the end song was better than game lol

dys4ia:

dys4ia is a story about the person who hormone replacement therapy. it's a story about the game producer. This game was beautiful. This should be shown to every unsupportive person, because it's so touching.

I like this game, because of the menu look like "Pac-Man eating".

This is a great game and fun to play. The story looks like you are an astronaut, and your spaceship's primary fuel source "gems" have run out. So you need to find to enough "gems", and then you can fly. I love this game.

It was getting a lot of fun when I play those games.

Paper Prototyping

My game name is "getaway." The game of age range of the players are 12-40 years old, I am creating something that is simple, easy-to-understand and fun. It can play this game by two to four players.
                                       This is what I got at the beginning:

This map of the rule is just who go to the destination, then that person can win the game.
                     

                   And then, the second class, we ^my play-tester and I^ are thinking about more rules about the game.

We discuss, and deciding what kind of rule/ what kind of game we want to play. 

 The final playtest was fun, and I got more ideas to fix again with my own game.

By designing, testing, and redesigning, the finally, my game was

emerge.

Here is my new map:

You can see four colors on this map, that is mean can not more than four players. Each player has three characters: father, mother and yourself.

F: father. M: mother. Y: yourself. And also need a dice to play this game.

The rules of game:

First, the player chooses the color to be their own, and use the dice to deciding who move first(the bigger number will be the fist). And then, the player needs to use the dice throw on one, five or six, then the player can start to move with a character. Also, the player does not need to finish a character, and start another character. It can put whole "family" on start, if that player always got one, five or six. 

The second paper is talking about how to fire and defend. Fire: when you follow the other player, and get the same step with him, you can fire him, also he cannot fire you. But you just can fire people one time for one round.

Defend: when you get a lucky card(defend card), then can defend. 

And the last paper is talking about, if the player still has three steps, then can go to the helicopter, he must throw the dice on three, if not or he gets five, he should go back two steps when he arrived to the helicopter.  

Here is the bad/good thing when you on that step.

Here is what helpful/lucky card looks like.

It has three types of card player can take.

 Defend card: player can defend one time when someone fire on you.

Super shoe: player can use this card when you step on shit, then don't need to "stop" one round.

One step or Two steps: don't need to throw the dice, and move one or two steps. 

The player who finishes whole "family" go to the helicopter, then can win the game.

board game & card game

Most people like to play board games and card game in the class, people can buy a great board game and card game for under $25, and every time when we play that, it is a new game. This is a toy that can be played over and over again, so the consumer sees value in this type of purchase. a good board game should possess some kind of interesting storyline.Of course, this is not true for all popular games – Scrabble, Checkers, Jenga and Logo are all examples of classic board games that have remained popular for years, despite their lack of storyline. A good board game should also be somewhat flexible, in that there are multiple ways for players to got their goal. A good board game should have different each time it is played. However, I love to play uno(card game). We play uno in class, thats a lot of fun. I have uno on my phone, i play it on face book. I play it om msn if my friends want to play. Also I bring uno card with me all the time. I'm so addicted to it. It so much fun to play.

On the other side, It is easy to make a card game for friends. First, Create rules for the game, more rules can make the game have more fun. Secondly, it's create a name for the game. Make the name sound right and have the name be about the game. Do not make a name that has nothing to do with the game. And then, make attributes for the cards. Make sure you have a different variety of cards. Finally, make step by step instructions on how to play.

As people are so busy, they go to class directly in the morning without eating breakfast. Some of people may think not having breakfast does not influence on their body health. Some of people were believe breakfast is important to people's body health. In my opinion, I'm convinced that we should have breakfast because it is good for our body health.

First of all, breakfast offer us the energy we need for the one day. Before eating breakfast, our body have not any energy. Consequently, we need to eat some food in the morning to get enough energy and nutrient to support our body. If we don't eat the breakfast, then we have no enough energy to go to class efficiently or maybe people will be sleeping on the morning class.

Secondly, people who does not eat breakfast will get more weight. If you don't have breakfast, then you will eat more food at lunch and the dinner. Generally speaking, we don't have much excise in the evening while we eat too much food. As a result, the surplus calorie will be save in our body and make us fat. I was an example with do not eat breakfast in the morning.

All in all, people should eat breakfast in the morning for the good of our health.
