PS3 Back up?

So one day I went home after hearing that the psn was back up, (You know I have no idea who said it but someone once said "if it sounds to good to be true it probably is" <--[who said that?, comment about it...]) when I got home and turned on my ps3 I tried to sign in, the game told me to renew my password... Are you serious? I didn't even remember my blog password, for real I have posted on like three blog accounts... After finding out what my password was I managed to sign in, the playstation store was still down but online was working. One week later the playstation store came back online and 2 of 5 games free to download to every ps3 owner. The games were; Little Big Planet 1, Infamous 1, Dead Nation, Wipe Out HD, And Stardust HD <-- Wtf is stardust?... Come on playstation at least give us some new games, playstation also gave so other things like themes and a month subscription to playstation plus. No, the thing's they gave us are not amazing but what ever, at least playstation did something for us.

The “Video Game”! Good or Bad?

The Video game has affected many of us on earth. Video gaming is like a hobby, just like reading, fishing, or playing sports, it's a form of entertainment. The problem is that video gaming has imprinted a negative impact in society.

Numerous studies show that people playing video games for a long period of time, especially ones with violent content show the following behaviours:

· Tend to be more aggressive

· Are more prone to confrontation with their teachers

· May engage in fights with their peers

· See a decline in school achievements.

This shows that media had ideological messages. The violence in the game influences the gamer to become more violent and aggressive.

Academic success can be negatively associated to over-all time spent playing video games. Studies have revealed that the more time a kid wastes on playing video games, the poorer is his performance in school.

Playing video games has many health affects, leading health issue is Obesity. The longer one is sitting and playing video games the higher risk of getting obese. Some other health issues include:

· Overuse injuries of the hand

· Obesity

· Muscle and joint problems

· Eyestrain

This shows that media has ideological messages. The violence in the game influences the gamer to become more violent and aggressive. Media also appeals to all five sense, that’s why it’s so addicting. The media use techniques to plead your senses making one play for a longer period of time, which cause drop in academic success and higher the chances for one to be obese .

The Eeenternet

Oh the Internet... what a useful tool. The Internet is easily one of the most well known tools for research, entertainment, and other highly useful functions out there. The Internet is a place where anyone can set up a site, post anything they want, or research or find anything that they could possibly have in mind. With the increasing sales of the home computer, the Internet has definately become a dependancy for many people in their daily lives.

In terms of expressig media concepts, the Internet can express, show, and explain any idea or detail the poster or user has in mind, for example: I'm currently writing a blog to express my views on the internet at this very moment. Using well detailed pictures and explanations the Internet can give messages to the user, it can construct and deconstruct reality, as well as give all sorts of implications and shape messages.

Aside from doing forms of surfing for research, the Internet can also be a very good way to pass the time by playing games. The Internet has allowed access to all sorts of different types of flash programs, and animation in gaming, making it useable and fun for anyone who may want to use it.

However, aside from all the fun and good times, there is definately a dark side to the Internet. The internet can be a horrible place for getting bullyed by emails and sites, being involved in scams and having your personal info taken from you, there's also pornography.

All and all, the Internet is a glorious place I suppose.
