Call of Duty.

Call of Duty is a first person and third person shooter video game. The majority of the games in the series are based on the World War II and the Cold War era. I know a lot of people who play Call of Duty. This game is played not only played by age appropriate people, this game is played mostly played by teens. Video games involving so much violence should not be allowed to be played by any one. These games cause such a transformation in a person it is scary. I have never played Call of Duty, but i have most certainly watched many people play it. After fully concentraiting on the game, emotions fly high. People begin to scream at the tv saying things like "@#$%^&*". Although i have never played Call of Duty i have played other violent games involving killing. At the begining you are at a lost of what to do but then you just start shooting and killing and after you know it you are completely into the game. I realized how my view point on it changed after playing the game. The excitement and rush of it all makes you not care so much about what it is actually teaching you. Violent games can only teach you one thing, and that is how to be violent. We as teens believe that it is stupid when people say that it is affecting us even if we do not realize it, and it is true. It might sound insane but games like this have actually given people the knoledge on how to kill in the REAL life. We do not need more death in this world and i truly believe that games like this can cause people to be violent and even kill in the real world. The sad part of it all is that small kids are being brought up with games like this. It is adverticed enough to catch anyones attention and if not seen on tv, then small kids can watch older siblings play this game and learn things that a child should not even know. In the game you have a fresh start after dying, but in reality you die you simply die, there is no new start. Once again, games like Call of Duty should not be allowed to be sold, because no body should be given the knoledge on how to kill.

When is the next one coming?

The soldiers in World War I had it pretty hard. I know this may sound stupid and sad, but i couldnt go a whole day without needing to use the computer or the internet. I would go insane if my only way to comunicate with my family and friends was by writing a letter. First of all it takes time to write a letter but it specially takes a while for the letter to get to that loved one. As i looked through the pictures of soldiers letters, i realized that all they could say is that they were "alright" or ask "how are things back home?" They must have not want to worry their loved ones on the reality of the war. And for those loved ones it must have been SO frustrating to have thoughts going through their mind of if that certain one was alive or not. These soldiers must have missed their kids and wives or girlfriends. All both of them could really do was to WAIT! Waiting and hope is all they had.

Dogfight.

From playing the game Dogfight on that link, i got an idea of the requirements and the great courage those pilots at war had to have. The first thing on my mind when just playing a simple game online was "How the heck am i supposed to kill and fly at the same time?" I did not even win once and my emotions where all over the place! All that kept running through my mind was that i wanted to win, which made me imagine what the people who actually fought in air must have been thinking about. These men put their life in the hands of change and skill. These men had to have gone through major training, not only physically but mentally. The second these men freaked out in air was probably when their lives were over. It is a hard job to succeed at, so the men who were chosen must have been ideal.
