How I Learned That League of Legends Needs Voice Chat
Gaming League of Legends is currently having a huge debate throughout its forum page. One of the highest topics of discussion was the addition of Voice Chat. In a game where Teamwork was everything many people found that Voice chat is just pure common sense to have. The other side of the debate was using the known fact that the League community was pretty Toxic right now. Toxic as in very aggressively mean and unforgiving to mistakes. I asked some of my friends to give their thought on if the league community was really toxic and they all tended to agree. It was fun. We discussed points on why league should have voice chat and why it shouldn’t. Looking at both sides and bringing examples and good points to both sides it was really a fun experience for me. I plan on continuing to make videos as to why League should implement the Voice Chat. Hopefully one of the creators of League stumble upon my video and they respond or even better yet use my idea. The video would’ve definitely been longer if I didn’t fear the Render timing and it was worse than predicted this time taking longer than 6 hours. This doesn’t include uploading it to YouTube on my slow internet. ALL OF THIS was worth it. I would’ve suffered through more but I did have a due date so I tried my best. That’s why I believe this is my best blog. It brings up a very controversial topic that thousands are debating back and forth right now and I had fun making it.

League of Legends
After the last few months of writing blogs, I have to say that my best dealt with a popular game known as League of Legends. I started playing League of Legends about a year ago and it has been a great learning experience and a lot of fun. Gaming has been a huge part of my life ever since I was a little kid so this blog provided me with a way to express myself. It was also very fun to write since it combined school with something that I’m very passionate about. League of Legends was a very difficult game to learn for me and it provided a challenge for me that forced me to learn very quickly. I hope gaming will be a part of my life for a long time to come because it has allowed me to learn about who I am as a person and as a learner.

Learning League
Blogging was not something that I had done prior to this assignment, and for a variety of reasons my first blog post, Learning League, is dear to my heart. Writing the post really let me reflect on the journey up to today. From the first moments of using ghost to get back into lane, to using crazy build and turret diving at level 2, there were definitely many lessons learned that made me better at the game! However, now that one knows how to play the game as it was intended, sometimes those lightbulb moments don’t occur much anymore, which is why I was glad to have experienced a trip to the past through this blog post, when everything was shiny and new. Figuring things out and making it work is such a satisfying feeling, and it all leads to those epic moments when you really feel like a legend of the rift!

Legend Of Zelda
This post is probably my favorite from over the course of the year because it is about something I’m really passionate about, video games. While I enjoy all the topics I’ve written about, I enjoyed writing about my love for The Legend of Zelda series because I have lots of fond memories playing it with my friend Chase over the summer and being proud of myself when I completed each challenge and hearing the satisfying “dah dah dah dahhh!” afterwords. I think this is an example of my best work because it’s probably my most polish piece from this school year and I like being apart of the “gamer community” and talking about video games. Another reason why I would consider this my best post is because I feel I was able to express my love for the series as well as explain it to someone who is completely new to the Zelda series.

The Overly Complex Characters of Dark Souls
This blog post (at least in my opinion) is my best one due to the fact that it is the longest and it was also the most fun to write. At the same time the fact that it also had the most traffic out of all of my posts that I have written over the past few months was a deciding factor. I never thought that anyone would read my post let alone a few people from outside the United States. I thoroughly enjoyed writing about the lore from one of my favorite games and I wish that I could explain it all, but sadly it is just too much to cover especially now since the sequel is out. In any case I believe that this post best expresses what I wanted to do in the long run with this blog, and maybe at some point I’ll continue adding to it.
