Throughout this course, we got to do a lot of fun things under the guise of a real blog. I honestly didn’t expect I would get to write and talk about video games for a college class, but hey, here we are!
Overall, I felt like this course was really fun to participate in, even after we were forced to leave college for quarantine season. I especially enjoyed making that tutorial video and podcast, as they let me just kinda talk about things that I enjoy doing or playing.
In terms of what exactly I got out of the course, I definitely feel more confident when talking about things I enjoy (which was always a big problem for me). Just being able to talk with my friend John about fighting games and why people should try them reminded me that as long as I like what I’m talking about, I shouldn’t have any real problems talking about it.
Another thing I learned from this class is that any work can be fun if they are presented in a fun way. I realize that may sound simple, but I didn’t really like most kinds of work because I just kept thinking of it as something to fill a grade. But after this class, after making that streaming tutorial, writing about fighting game memes, I learned that if I can make it fun, it won’t really feel like work.
Like fighting games, I had a lot of fun learning in this class, and I hope you guys learned something along the way! I might want to continue this even more later, but for now…
