Stopping Disasters Game

            Last class, we were introduced to a new game where you're placed in a type of scenario and you have to help the town/ village prevent disaster in their lives. One of the questions I'm supposed to answer is why I liked the game. I have to admit, I really tried and tried to enjoy, but I kept FAILING! I did nothing wrong, but somehow the final mission report ended up with a huge "FAIL" stamped on the front. I guess I do like the facts on the side, and how it tells you what this and that are used for.
            I learned things like how having wetlands can absorb water in a flood situation, mangroves can dissipate the energy of waves, and that there are now fire resistant trees. That last one's pretty impressive. Trees that don't catch on fire. Anyways, yea I think I learned a lot of methods on preventing destruction that I had never even knew about.
            Some information from class that I found in the game was, info about the seismometer and all that fun stuff. I thought it was really cool how I could relate those things I had learned in class to the game.
           If I were to change one thing about the game I would probably include more scenarios. I know it's not exactly a natural disaster, but it would be so cool to add a volcano scene. That would probably be my favorite.
           Okay now since I'm coming to an end on this post, I just have to say, that I finally passed my first round. The joy in passing is so incredible. I even got a gold medal. I'm so proud of myself right now for saving my small village in Asia from a tsunami. I HAD to post that. Yay.
