First person Shooter
The video was about a game called counter strike. It is a game of skill and strategy and it is very popular among teenagers. It is so popular that some teenagers play it too often and are addicted to it. They drop out of school and some parent’s think that the game teaches their children violence. Study shows that if a teenager is on the internet he or she will play at least 17 hours a week. The boy in the video, Griffin, dropped out of school and even in family life because he was playing too much. His parents even tried to take away his computer but he just stayed at a friend’s place or out in an internet café to play. Sometimes he doesn’t even come home and his parents get very worried. His father asks his sons parents if they were having the same problem and most of them had worst problems. One of the parents said that her son threw a coffee table across the room and grabbed her hand as though he wanted her dead because she tried to stop him playing.
To try and give the boys some unique perspective about life, Griffin’s father drives them all to Washington DC for a counter Strike tournament, which was a 17 hour drive. On the way the father tries to make them see that there is more to life than games. At the tournament the boys challenge other groups, called clans, to matches and keep going until there is an overall winner. At the end, the boys parent s realise that there is more to this game than they thought. The game gives the boys new indentities.
E3 is a games and electronic fare. Many people go to see and test out new games and gadgets. Although the products are mainly aimed at children, only over 18 year olds are allowed entry. Parents blame violent game for teaching their children to murder, but study shows that kids who ply games are more co-ordinated and do more better academically than kids who don’t.

- In the step event:
Drag into actions: it an expression is true, then type in y is less than 0
In the control tab, drag in start of a block.
In the score tab drag in set score and set it relative to 1.
In the main 1 tab drag in destroy instance and press ok.
Then drag in create instance and type in the values of the position of your ball That you will find by moving the mouse to the ball in your room.
