    A Deeper Insight on Videogames

    by: Carlos Miguel Ruiz, 11-BSM


    11-English Class 2018-2019
    PART 1 - INTRO

    First off I will start with an introduction and a hook to capture the audience’s attention; using
    this hook “I know for a fact that most of you play videogames, and I do too.” After saying the
    hook, I’ll then carry on with my presentation.

    “I’m not going to talk about why videogames are good or bad for you, that’s a bit tad too
    generic, and plus, I know my other peers have the same topic; why videogames are good for
    you, I refuse to use that as my own topic for this, instead I’ll present to you the deeper insight
    into videogames, the gaming industry, why do we really play videogames and how gaming
    has cemented itself as part of our universal culture or in a more common term, part of our
    pop-culture, years before the dawn of the 2010s.

    PART 2 – BODY

    I’ll ask you a question and answer them in your thoughts, even for the people in the
    audience who don’t play videogames. Ask yourself this “Why do I play videogames?” “Why
    do these people play videogames?” Done? Okay, I bet most of you answered; because it’s
    fun. What makes videogames fun in the first place? I’ll be using different games as examples
    from each notable generation, first I’ll present a game from the Playstation 1; Resident Evil
    2, what makes this game fun? The game is in a genre called survival-horror, a sub-genre of
    the established horror genre of gaming, the act of conserving your supplies and managing
    your inventory, figuring out puzzles and choosing between a fight or flight response, these
    simple building blocks for a game is what makes it fun. Next off we have the Playstation 2;
    with Metal Gear Solid 3, at the time, and even until now, the game is super fun and great in
    terms of story-telling, the music, the characters and tying everything all together, the simple
    archaic gameplay. And this is my first ever game and the first game that made me cry.

    Distancing ourselves from consoles, we have PC Gaming, as much as I want to keep


    mentioning games I love playing from consoles, I too love playing on the PC. We have
    games such as Hotline Miami 2, Quake, Cities Skylines, Deus Ex, Fallout, Skullgirls. So
    many games to name but this is a timed presentation, but I’ll say this, it’s much more
    convenient and easy to play with a keyboard and mouse.

    PART 3 – CLIMAX

    So after everything I said about console and PC gaming and what makes them fun but what
    makes gaming in general, a cemented part of our universal culture? It’s because of how
    much it opened so many opportunities, opportunities like, creating games for people with
    disabilities, yes even blind people. Gaming also brought people together and solidified the
    internet as one of the most important aspects of life, it also made the PC goldrush in the 70s
    and 80s more interesting, because of the amount of hobbyists writing code for their games
    and distributing them through shareware gaming and tech are synonymous with each other
    that tech companies and manufacturers are developing software and hardware for new
    evolving computers and even consoles, in fact, when I mention controllers, it’s always
    ubiquitous to gaming. This eventually evolved into an industry that will definitely stay and
    grew into more than just an industry it grew to be a main component of our universal culture.
