Second Life.

Secondlife is the place to be, "Beautiful" graphics, "Beautiful" clothes, "Beautiful" people. Oh who am I kidding? It's the most unrealistic, overexaggerated far-fetched game I have ever laid my eyes upon.

So I'm currently studying games in my Media lessons and I had the unfortunate delight of studying this game as a case study!

Reasons you should play this game-You actually have to spend lots of money to make yourself pretty.
- It's built on a city of lies
- You can play as a vegetable
-Girls? You can have those really big boobs you never had.
-Guys? The same applies to your package ;)
-It's full of sex pests and child abuse
- Infact no, you can do ANYTHING you want to on this game.

So, this game promotes a stimulation for realism, however you can fly in this game, you can be a vampire in this game, you can act out your darkest desires! (64 year old men, I point my finger towards you). Oh, remind me again how this promotes realism?

This game adds to one of many reasons of what is wrong with the world. You can have virtual sex, commit rape,  and commit sexual acts towards animals as well as children in this game. Now, I know it sounds like I'm generalising here, but I do understand that many games have their flaws such as 'Habbo Hotel'. It was recently discovered that Habbo Hotel was hot by paedophile grooming. As a teenage I played this game a lot and it still shocks me that it was only recently a scandal, this has been going on for years. Step up your game people.

Games such as Secondlife and Habbo Hotel lay out bad morals. Such as becoming an online criminal, When I used to play Habbo Hotel, I played with my friends and we would scam people out of game furniture which you had to pay real money for. I can argue however that times have changed and now know that commiting these crimes in real life, would probably get me a one way ticket to prison.

Back to Secondlife....

So there is no real comparison between Secondlife and Habbo Hotel, Secondlife promotes more dangers and deffinatly promotes bad morals for young people. You can buy some pretty prococtive clothing, and even people as young as 8 can wear them. Could you really imagine an 8 year old wearing this?
People have even gotten married on this game, people who are that passive, need to get a grip and re-evaluate their lives. You could go out and get some real confidence or just spend the rest of your pitiful life having fake relationships and then cry into your empty Ben&Jerries when they break up with you.

Overall I beleive this is one of the most dullest, immoral, damaging, melodramatic, corrupted games I think I will ever see being played. It isn't even worth the words I used to describe it.

Good day to you all!

Lord of The Rings.

Hi Guys!!!

This will be a short blog, I have the worst headache and I recently adopted insomnia, however, I need to write a blog for Journalism. So here we go.

The other day I was sat watching one of Pewdiepies videos and it had a Lord Of The Rings reference and it made me want to watch Lord Of The rings. Now having seen this film multiple times, including all the 4 hour versions, you'd think I'd have more to talk about than characterisation.

No but seriously, I think I was only 15 minutes into the first film and I just thought 'The characterisation in this film is beautiful'. It was Ian McKellen that made me realise, he's played villains, heroes, wizards, KINGS, he also narrates a lot. He even plays a gay in this new T.V series 'Vicious' (No, I'm not Blonde. I know he's gay in real life too) but that's besides the point. This man is a legend. As soon as I saw his first appearance in Lord Of The Rings, I seriously didn't realise how perfect his characterisation is. I used to do drama.. ONCE. And characterisation was pretty hard, you have to play roles that your mind is uncertain with. I know Liam will read this someday and tell me I'm stupid for saying characterisation is hard because he disagrees with most things I say. But really. It is difficult. And the way he does It so easily, sitting on his cart with Frodo being happy and then showing Bilbo he can be intimidating, it really did get to me. (This must be the Media/Film student inside me that I don't want to let out)

You can definitely tell that Gandalf's character was better than Frodo's at the start, it was just the way the acting went, Frodo was bland compared to him. But when you get the other characters such as Gimli and Legolas, you can't compare because they both come in a set and you automatically love them. They have the love/hate thing going on. It's cute.

AND SEAN BEAN. Please stop with the deaths! I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE. Seeing you die in G.O.T is one thing, and dying in LORD OF THE RINGS is another. You're a good actor, stop taking on the roles where you die. You should take advice from your daughter. 'What do we say to death?' 'NOT TODAY!!!'

How to end this blog?

I KNOW! Then ending, there is a big debate on who the real hero is, it could be Frodo, or it could be Sam. Now in my personal opinion, I think Sam was the hero, he stuck with Frodo throughout, even when Frodo told him to go home, Sam came back. All Frodo did was carry a ring (I know it's all about having strength to resist the rings influence on your mind and well, all of you, but Frodo turned into a bitch with it) he just complained, talked about the shire too much, then gave Sam abuse about being a bully to Gollum, COME ON? Gollum had it coming to him. And Frodo almost ended up like him too! Sam was the real hero, Frodo was just the false hero. Who do you think the hero was?

Anyway, until next week. Goodbye!!! :)
