Reading03

 Week 3 reading was taken up a good bit of time between reading and doing the research that related to my topic. My topic is Game streaming and I am looking into 'why are some games more popular to stream than others?'. 

I went back over my matrix to help me and back over my research from the previous weeks. In my matrix, I had linked some books that I found useful on my topic.

 For example, 'Make money gaming: How to earn money from live streaming' By Noob Flanagan. When I  found this book I couldn't get access to it so next week I plan to make a trip to the college library. 

Another book I found and want to look into more is 'Watch me play: Twitch and the rise of game live streaming' by T.L Taylor. This book I do have access to and I got to have a brief read-through.

personally, I find it better to just google information rather than hunt down books and read pages upon pages. I prefer to get my research through websites where it's easier to read because the information isn't as much and it's more clear with headings etc.

Introduction to getting to know me better

  Welcome to my vlog where you'll get more insight into the type of person I am. My fears, my goals in life, my achievements and more. My friends say I am a selfless, hard work working person who always puts peoples needs before my own and its true, I do intend to do this but not always. I move to the feeling fo leadership and love taking charge of project work, organising events with friends and organising fun things to do to see the look on my friends faces. I am the type of person who doesnt as for much, a simple thank you makes my day!  In secondary school, I was a different person to who I am now. I was the quite one and shy to speak out, that included being around my friend group. I never spoke up and expressed my own opinions. I always had negative thoughts and overthought everything. I can now say that was DRAINING. I thougt everyone in school had a negative opinion of me but really it was all in my own head. My mental health was harmed due to this and had me in a bad place

 What is a game, anyway? I have decided to write notes as I'm reading through it because if not I will forget key information that I wanted to say in my blog for this piece.  In the gaming world, there are a lot of people who are very passionate about gaming and therefore have strong opinions. some people live to game, they do it for fun, in their spare time and have a job in this department. As I said, some people live to game. So, when Irene says that some people disagree with her definition of gaming. I understand that because it's an open field so everyone is entitled to their own opinions.  I played the game three to fifteen. It's a simple game and a very well-known game. One of my favorite games to play is GTA (Grand Auto Theft) on the Xbox. The majority of the game definitions listed are accounted for in GTA. Ends and means, separate, unproductive, and make-believe which GTA very much is. I agree that many games are created using the same structure, they could be com

 What I'll build   I aim to create a website on swimming. I run my own swimming school. I want to be able to create a website in the next year or two for my business. I feel by doing this website on swimming, will give me good practice for when I come to creating my own. I aim to create a 5-page website. My pages will include a bit about me, a place for parents to book their children in for swimming, a price list, a page about the swim school, and contact details. Each page in the website will be user freindly and include enough information and visuals. Each page will hopefully exceed the info that viewers are looking for. Once they have view my website, the goal is taht they will have more than enough knowlegde. UX features that I aim to include are easy access back to the homepage, a clear navigation bar, and A lot of colors, videos, and images to guide my viewers around the website.  Two websites I saw that relate to the website I want to create:      https://www.waterworksswim.
