Post 4: Videogames

Hello again, I’m Trinindad and I’m going to talk about videogames

I personally have a special attachment to this topic, since I started playing videogames since I was five. Through all this years I experienced different genres, stories and the feelings they brought to my life. It may sound silly, but they helped me in hard times, they were a new world to discover, that was my escape from the real world.

A lot of people told me that I’m very childish because I liked videogames, that they make people violent and are a waste of time. But I think that playing a videogame it’s like reading a book or watching a movie, but you have the control to make your own story, even if the ending is always the same (which doesn’t happen in all videogames), YOU, the player, is the one experiencing all, you empathize with the characters and take decision, things that one doesn’t appreciate in films or books, where you just watch how the characters develop by themselves.

Of course, not all the videogames are the same, there is a ton of genres that makes a huge difference between them, like Indie, Strategy, Puzzles, Adventures, RPG(Role Playing Game) and so on. Usually the focus of the media are the shooter or MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) games, who are more competitive games without concentrating in developing a lineal story(not always) and just focusing in the fight between two teams.

    I think that when you read a book or watch a movie, you may empatize with the characters and it's story too :)

      Yes indeed,there are a lot of movie characters that I love, but you don't interact with them as in videogames, like in Undertale, you can even decide the fate of the characters, befriend them or fight.

    I don't like very much shooters like COD or Battlefield. But I do enjoy them when there is a good story behind like The Last Of US or Uncharted (Naughty dog has the best AAA games). Which genre do you like the most? Also tell me about you favourite videogame!

      I do like shoters like Overwatch that doesn't tell a story itself but i'm not a huge fan, I've never played the exclusives of PS4 (or PS3) since I don't have either of them but I really like The last of us, beyond two souls, uncharted, Until dawn, etc. My favorite games are the Indie ones, such as The binding of Isaac, Undertale, Deltarune, One Shot, Night in the woods, etc. I also like the music and rythm games.
      What about you?

    Sometimes videogames are more entertaining than books or movies because of the decision-making that needs to be done!

Post 7 : Environmental Conflicts

The environmental problems in our country and the world aren’t something new, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the situation in Quintero happens again in the future. I got used to see the streets filled with garbage and dark clouds of pollution in the sky, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t care about it anymore; more than ever I’ve been worrying about the environmental situation of our planet. What happened in Quintero was a shame, the people complained about the situation and the authorities did nothing to fix it until it was too late, only when the notice about the sick people and dying animals spread over the nation they lowered themselves to do what they are meant to do: protect people and the environment. Water problems are one of the most worrying conflicts in Chile, not only in Santiago but in cities at the south of the country. Most of the people don’t pay real attention to it, we don’t think about the shortage of water because we think we have plenty of it; there are zones i...

Post 2 : The best holidays I've ever had

It’s hard to say wich is my favorite holiday I’ve ever had, since I enjoyed every one of them, but, if I have to chose one, I could say that the trip I made to Melipeuco was the more exiting. I went to Melipeuco with my family and stayed in a little and comfy cottage, it was made by the propietor’s own hands! This little house was at the side of a “Escorial”, we could walk some meters and met those volcanic rocks, but, the bad side of that magnific landscape, was it were the nest of scorpions, and sometimes they got into the house. At night time, the place around the cottage was a void of darkness, there was no light and no sound. The thing I would never forget about that place is that we got a swarm of termites, there were a ton of them, and they had wings, we had a really bad time the first days, but we got the house fumigated and the problem was solved… at least for a couple days "the Escorial" In that trip, we went to Conguillío National Park, but there was a ...
