Another Experience

From childhood I only have 2 different experiences with video games. As a young girl my brother would play tetris on his sega but I honestly only ever remember that one game. I'm sure there were more in his room but I never got to actually play them. Then I also remember playing mario cart with my friends once at someone's house. I think it may have been New Years eve party type of thing.

Until I started dating my most recent boyfriend I had never really enjoyed playing video games. I'm not very hand eye coordinated so I had it in my head that I hated video games. Then I played Fable 2 for the first time. My boyfriend had it lying around and I popped it in one day while he was at work and I love it! I was actually pretty good at it. Soon after that I purchased my first Xbox 360 and several games as well as a live membership. I set records at finishing Fable 3 (less than 24 hours of play time). Recently I have stopped playing very often but I still enjoy playing with Geoff and his friends.

Article idea for PR

In order to capture the English and the New media aspects of their major a group of students at Dakota State University have integrated a YouTube video and poet Shel Silverstein to bring two seemingly opposite ideas together. The video is short and sweet and to the point. DSU would like you to experience where your journey might lead you with the English for New Media major. In the last 5 years the field of New Media has exploded across the world. In order to populate this new job market Dakota State University has recently established the English for New Media major. They are currently only the second University in the world to implement this major. Current students in English for Information systems were drafted into this major to all encompass what the major is about. Students looking to work in a new media environment will be able to take ground breaking classes that implement all kinds of media techniques and introduce ways to integrate new media such as Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Blogs, etc into their job. A group of students currently in this major have used their already rich new media skills to create a promotional video for DSU. To view this promotional video visit www.youtube.com and type in English for New Media DSU.
