After the awesomeness that was Banjo-Tooie, Rare had a problem, "Everything on the platforming market is so kid-friendly!" So, Chris Seavor, decided to head the team of the Conker game, originally called ''Twelve Tales: Conker 64'' and remake the game as a crude, crass, vulgar game filled with toilet humor, sex jokes, bloody violence and film parodies that are still hilarious every time i play it. Well, most of this review will not be pretty and only shower a pinch of praise on it wherever necessary. Like the average platformer, Conker has relatively simple gameplay. These platformers have you completing tasks, finding items, getting from point A to point B, or a combination of the three.
When the government or the president addressed this issue they were practicing the art of rhetorical discourse by addressing and reacting to the given situation. Without the problem of health care reform, it is just pointless conversation occurring or what we call “small talk,” at the very least. Bitzer explains that there are three parts that make up a rhetorical situation in order for discourse to occur; exigence, audience, and constraints. The exigence is an imperfection marked by urgency; it is a defect or an obstacle. If I use the speech former President Bush gave after the 9/11 attacks as an example, he delivered those speeches due to the fact that there was a situation that required attention, or exigence.

Alex Pham’s article, “Boy You Fight like a Girl,” shares with the public some of the reasons and reactions of gamers choosing the opposite sex for their avatars. Pham reveals that there is no escape from stereotypes even in the virtual game world. Reasons for gender switching range from a tactical move to sexual experimentation. However, most people who play online games choose the opposite sex for their avatars to gain respect, avoid prejudice, or avoid competition. They’re true gender cannot be discovered though.
She also admits that one of the problems with video games is that there is no standard for rating video games, so any content that is profitable is acceptable. One thing that she states is that the violence in video games has been linked to violence in the lives of the viewers, and that people who play video games naturally have a more aggressive personality. Though TV has also been known to show violence, Wrights says that video games are worse because they’re interactive. She also asserts that though people may like to deny the negative effects of video games, they cannot deny that the media is a manipulative tool that is used to trigger emotions. Wright’s closing statement is a warning to parents; she says that they need to educate themselves to keep their children safe.
This is the subject Rick Reilly discusses in his article "Nothing but Nets." Throughout this article, Reilly successfully makes his thesis real; engaging the reader by using imagery and analogies; clear by using repetition and tone; and effective by using logical statements. To provide the reader a real idea of the thesis, Reilly uses imagery and descriptive analogies. To apply these devices the author mainly relates his thesis with one central idea: the image of death. This image - the most important, overreaching idea in this section - concerns each person differently; some people do not get the image of how big those numbers are, so relating the image of the Malaria issue with something more familiar, like "nearly 3,000 kids die every day in Africa from malaria.that's a 9/11 every day!"
Some of the most interesting avenues that Nardi choses to take is discussing the public admission that a gamer is addicted to the game to his or hers gaming community. “The very fact that Kel publicly posted this...is the first indication that his problems were not an isolated psychological phenomenon” (129). What comes across when reading this is a direct connection between the community aspect of this addiction to a twelve step program. Similarly, the first step there is to reach out to a community and publicly addressing the fact the you are an addict. What is most interesting here is the fact that Nardi writes about the response the player received from his community and reveals that the community is there with the players in the good and in the bad.
If two conflicting issues collide into each other, only one issue could prevail because it is the most sensible. However, there are no winners. Such is provided in addressing the issue of disharmony within cognitive dissonance.

My name is sam , and I feel lucky to say that I am currently studying my passion of becoming a veterinary technician. I was 19 years old when I first started looking for classes in my area that met my criteria and after a frustrating search I thought there was nothing! Then I found Penn Foster, a school that allows me to stay home, study and also go to work and be with family and friends. I wasn’t sure that online school was the best choice for me but I wasn’t ready to move away from my family and friends just yet. The only veterinary technician school was five hours from home and I did not have the money to move away.
