I didn't accomplish much for my project. Its actually proving quite difficult at the moment. There is just some much information that its almost impossible to get it all. While one could argue "That's what you get for doing a research paper of all things instead of going with your gut", MY other idea may have taken longer due to the two constraints ,or "Catches" if you will. The first one is that good footage is hard to come by. For example if I were to play War thunder, a World War II and Korean War simulator, with my current setup for the USAAF( United States Army Air Force), it would be quite boring because the American aircraft cant really dogfight ( In fact dog fighting with the P-47 Thunderbolt almost always leads to it becoming a fiery, metal wreck falling from 1,000 feet from the sky at 400 miles per hour) but rather utilize at tactic referred to as "Boom and Zoom" where essentially you get to a high altitude( around 4,000 to 5,000 feet) select an appropriate target and then dive on to their tail, shooting them down if at all possible and then retreating back into the clouds. Rinse, wash, repeat. However it takes way too long to preform, mean while Spitfires and Zeros would rack up kills like no tomorrow very quickly. Then, I have space issues. My play sessions tend to be long and because good game play may take hours if not days or even months to get and or collect, combine that with potentially 42 gigabytes(exaggerating) of footage I would then have to upload to Youtube (which can take awhile) then use the Youtube video editor to put it all together and then delete from my hard drive just make it a bit outlandish.
Right now though I'm working on seeing if I can access Steam from my I- Pad to get the screen shots that I need for the graphics section. Steam is a gaming software type thing that allows you to buy and download games and well, socialize with other people. Its useful... 99.9 percent of the time, anyway. I just need to choose which one I want assuming that i can get the thing to work on my Ipad anyway. I may need more though but that will be for the next paragraph.
My next step is to work on the uniqueness factor Section. I am going to need some screen shots of three things from three games. Once that's completed I will write the conclusion and then I guess I'm done. I may touch on some more topics though but that's a "big if".
