Ready Player One is one of my favorite books that I read this year.  It talks about a virtual reality world. I liked the virtual reality in this book  because it is similar to the Sword Art online because of its story line.

Vampire in the Lemon Grove

Vampire in the Lemon Grove
The voice for Magerbs


Magrebs’ voice in the story was like a train without a conductor.  She would keep yapping until she tried to stop. She would brag and then would angry. She would be bossy until her husband arrived.  She would worry about him. She is stubborn and impatient like a child in this story. She speaks in a low voice with very few words to say. It sometimes would be unintelligible for her, too.

media

Create your own illuminated page that embodies one of your own observations about media.

My own observations are about video games as a part of the huge media industry. 
I am a video game artist who is majoring in game art and design. Video games have a massive impact on media because of the internet. The video games are playable on the PC, MAC, mobile apps and consoles that connect to the internet.  The internet allows players to connect to the latest games as well as other players online. Video games provide an opportunity for the gamer to role play in different scenarios. For example, the gamer may play as a first person shooter in MMORPG games. I believe many people use this media to interact with and within the digital world. 
I would like to design video games that are based on fantasy worlds, futuristic worlds and even traditional worlds. I would like to have my video games be beautiful and amazing so my audience would appreciate their experience.

In the video game industry, there are lots of components needed to make a video game.  To name a few there are the creators, the illustrators, the computer animation, the sound effects and production managers.  All these specialized people collaborate to create a single game for the video game industry.
