At the beginning of the semester I knew that our class would have a final paper that would have to be written pertaining to our blogs and it's topic. Knowing this, I was influenced into picking the topic that I did and then evolving it to where it's at now. However, as the months have gone by I thought this would be an extremely simple topic but it seems I overlooked it at the time and it's actually harder than it seems. Sure there are tons of websites on gaming with the most recent news about all the new games, consoles or the drama of which lead developer has been fired from some big named gaming company. The redundancy of information from multiple websites covering the exact same big named games and ideas at the exact same time began to bore me more and more. This led to me browsing for hours on end finding very little that seemed interesting enough to post about.
On the other hand, I have outlined my next post in my mind of which sources it will contain and what it will be about. It will be about SMITE an online battle arena game, where players chose a God and are able to play against other people around the world. I myself enjoy this game to a great extent. There has even been some controversy over this game that's still in Beta, but you'll have to wait a week to find out more.
Major sources I will probably use on my final paper may include 1Up, IGN, VentureBeat, Game Informer, and possibly Kotaku, even though I am personally not a fan of how Kotaku is set up, they still provide some different information and another perspective to the gaming world. But those are all subject to change.
Once I figure out what my final paper will be about then I will be able to tell for sure which sources I may and may not use.
I'm interested to hear what you have to say about SMITE, I love mythology, and when I heard about it, I was rather excited. Although, I have a Mac, so I really don't have a chance to play it.
ReplyDeleteWhat don't you like about Kotaku? Just the style of the website, or the content?
