Post 1



Hello,my name is Sunny. This is my first ever blog post so it may be awkward until I become more accustomed to blogging. Anyways, I am going to blog about my hobbies which coincidentally is mainly gaming. To me gaming can mean a variety of different types of games. Games can range from card games to video games for me, and I play many types of games. My favorite type of games are video games followed by card games. I mainly like to play RPGs (role playing games) typically, but the genre of JRPG (Japanese role playing games) are what I tend to play. The reason for this is that I just love the stories from JRPGs where the hero has to save the world and when he or she does, it's usually a happy ending, and I sure do love my happy endings. An example of this is the video game Xenogears for the playstation 1. Even though the graphics are not that strong, the story does an amazing job of pulling me into the game.

For card games, I like to play a new game that came out about a year ago. The game is known as Cardfight Vanguard. To be honest, the main reason I like this game is that I think the card art work looks amazing.

Lastly, I am currently taking CS108 at SJSU. It's a intro to game studies course. I hope to be able to learn more about how games are designed so that my appreciation for gaming may grow even more. Also, with gaming as my main hobby, I hope it allows me to connect to game studies easier and that I can absorb more information more fluidly in class.
