This is my last game log for San Andreas. I'm glad I chose to wait because I thought it would be very interesting to play after discussing in class.

One thing talked about was how the game was supposed to be funny. The whole time I played this game I thought about how I didn't think the game was funny. I think there are different ways to make fun of American culture instead of making people play games about violence, sex, and drugs.

I really don't want to participate in the game missions because I am really offended by what you have to do. So I explored the areas on my bike for awhile. I tried jumping on buildings which was really fun. I enjoyed doing this for awhile. I liked doing this because I was actually good at different stunt tricks and didn't die a million times.

This time I was really focused on a lot of the awful language and hostility that was going around in the game. It made me upset and angry, and after awhile I decided to stop playing.

I understand why this game was picked for the class. I just have decided it's ridiculous and I am glad I never have to play it again.

Are you affected in the same way by violence in other media, or is it somehow different for you with games?
