Engaging Video Games

            In this world there is many things that can keep you engaged and make you lose track of time, for me its video games. My name is Josue Vasquez and what makes me lose track of time is video games. Playing video games is something I enjoy doing. I play video games in my free time. I can play video games for hours long and not get bored; I do not notice time passing by. I get in to deep into the game and makes not pay attention to time. I find video games so engaging that they make me lose all track of time.

     Video games such as, Call of duty, Warzone, Fortnite, Rainbow Six Siege and Apex Legends. These games capture me and have a luring urge that makes me not pay attention to anything else or lose track of time. Their category and game style like FPS, RPG, and Open World, those things engage me on keep on playing and lose sense of time. Those things captivate me to keep on playing. It’s like a distraction. The reason it captivates me its because its something I enjoy doing, something that I always loved, it even was my dream as a kid to play video games for a living. They’re fun and the colors and graphics and the concept itself of video games attracts me. It really catches my attention, the adrenaline and fast paced action. Also, the excitement of winning a match or beating an opponent down.

     Fortnite and Warzone are FPS games and those two games have me focused on what decision I have to make, help me on decision making and critical thinking. They enhance my ability to decide right on the spot, to my best judgment. These two games can really enhance or help you develop more skills. I’ve mentioned some skill but there are many more, such as, Strategic thinking, quick problem solving, and multitasking. Enhance my ability to spot thing faster with your vision, really focus and expect the unexpected. These games can also help you on hand-eye coordination, you look at something on the game and you react my doing what you have to do with your hands, acting out on the controller or keyboard and mouse. Games can also help you develop communication and team working skills. You have to communicate and inform your teammates of anything that happens in-game, you have to communicate and work with your team, assign jobs, be effective and productive. You work with your teammates to accomplish the same goal.

     When I want to learn more about the games, I turn to YouTube, I watch tutorials, Guides, and I also watch highlights of those specific games. In YouTube, I watch my favorite streamers, Streamers that play the games I like. I watch them and try to play like them or learn from them. I go back to the game and try to repeat what they did. Other way that I do to learn, I just look up strategies on google or websites that give you tips on the specific things you want to get better at. I also go ask my friends, ask how they do it or how they learned it. We practice together and learn together. We learn the new mechanics as a team. This shows one of the skills a game can provide like team working skills. I also learn new things by just playing the game and spending more time in-game. I just play games on repeat until I perfect something that I learned by myself. When something doesn’t go the way I planned, I repeat and repeat it until it comes out how I wanted it to come out, this also shows proof how games can really catch your attention and not notice time, makes you lose track of time because you give all your attention and dedication to that game.
