Episode 1: League of Legends

I've always loved playing video games. As a kid, I think I sacrificed most of my real-life friendships for virtual ones. Of course, I made a few friends through my online escapades but for me, the love of the game sometimes surpassed any sense of camaraderie. So what better way for me to express myself then through the games that you'll see in the weeks to come?

I know this is a tad bit unorthodox, but the best things often come from the craziest ideas, no? Either I crash and burn or I pull it off, but either way, you can be sure that I had fun while doing all of this.

So, for the very first reflection, I'm going to be using a game called "League of Legends" to demonstrate Tension. All three kinds of dramatic tension are evident in this game, and you'll see why as the video progresses. 

Also, at the end of it all, I'll be including a lesson plan that I've created for teaching tension and it includes most of the games that we've covered in class and some that I've gone online to find to make the lesson more interesting. You can find the lesson plan here. Hope you enjoyed the video!
