In GW2 the dragon is the one and only creatures, they devour magic for living instead of swallowing food as we usually know, Every tribe on Tyria are considered ancient dragon’s elemental powers as the original incarnation, the dragon’s powers as unstoppable as blizzards and earthquakes. Ancient dragon rarely appeared in all affairs of Tyria directly, they prefer to send their servants for their work. Each of dragon has their own fighters to manage their territory. Ancient dragon relate to elements- fire, ice, undead, water, and crystal – the servants are also reflect that.

 

At 1078AE,the first ancient dragon Primordus wake up with vibration. Its most powerful fighter the “Great Destroyer” and army from “Depths of Tyria” are pouring in, banish Asuras to the earth’s surface, and destroy many underground civilizations. then Asura joint Dwarves , Norn and Ebon Vanguard, destroy the “Great Destroyer”, However, it let dwarf paid a heavy price, to defeat the “Great Destroyer” ,Dwarves use “Rite of the Great Dwarf”, Today, the dwarves still fighting in the “Depths of Tyria”, so the surface can survive.

After Primordus, Jormag wake up at 1165AE, and appear at the north of Far Shiverpeaks. It break up mountains, change the ocean. Norns living in Far Shiverpeaks try to defeat Jormag, but they finally failed, so the “Spirits of the Wild” leads Norns move to the south. 

 

The third ancient dragon is Zhaitan, the undead dragon. It makes the sunken kingdom Orr arise to the surface again. And flood the seaboard of Tyria .Zhaitan makes those drowned people into his undead army, and cross over Strait of Malchor , attack south east of Elona .Also block the Cantha with the outside world.

At 1320AE, Kralkatorrik spring up from north of Blood Legion Homelands ,fly to the south and across the Ascalon.His breath erode everything on his way, and form the “Dragonbrand”

There are another two Ancient dragons in GW2,but in the game we can just see their servants nowadays. But maybe the Ancient dragon is waking, by that time we must have to face a big fight.

With the development of mobile phone production, many company invented numerous apps on games. Recently, there are various interesting games attract many people’s attention. A game named “Do not step on the white” has been become popular lately. The game is pretty simple and only has two colors, black and white. The player just needs to touch the proportion of black area. Nevertheless, it still cause numerous players download and compete with each other. The weibo, wechat, all of social platform are talking about this game! Suddenly, this game has been become a hot topic in weibo and plenty of net friends are enjoy to comment. Players are so obsessed with showing record. Same situation happened on another one called “flappy bird”, which is an also simple but difficult, challenging game. “Flappy bird” triggered people’s anger because of the game is very easily over without full attention. Players only use one finger to touch screen but they want to break the phone! This game caused severely case. A boy is out of his mind to murder his brother because of his brother broke his record. How crazy and pathetic! The producer of “flappy bird” Nguyen Ha Dong claimed that the public overestimated this game and he strains about that, so he cancelled this app after few days. Those games witnessed how mobile phone game can affect people.

The phenomenon manifests people are so involved with mobile phone games. A study by sociologist showed quantity of mobile game player is overtaking the internet player in recent years. Phone games almost occupied many current people’s daily life, “there are 3 reasons.” He analyzed, “Firstly, mobile phone is more convenient to carry. Obviously, it is small and handy. Almost all of people have phone today and cannot live without it. 70 percent people have their personal phone in China. Secondly, mobile phone games has terrific manufacture and playability, it depends on different scene to design. On contrary, it’s not like some large online games only attract male but not female. Phone games are divided into various different types, such as action game, adventure game, puzzle game, etc. Different people can choose the type what they like. Last but not least, mobile phone games are depends on player’s choice; it has no limit on space or time. Meanwhile, there are many free apps can be download on the internet. Other type of game may cost more money and time to play. For instance, online games need player spend time and virtual money to set up a great record constantly. Sometimes, we have to put an earphone and tell the teammate how to do. If you do some mistakes, you might probably be blamed.

It is reasonable to play phone games during the spare time. After our working or studying, phone games provide a little entertainment to have a breather.  But we should have right attitude about phone games. Do not play too much and lose ourselves. After all, it is not centre of our life.

 

Online games, whether angel or devil. We can’t deny the benefits of online games.

As the technology develops so fast, computers have come into almost everyone’s room. Whether use it to work or to play, computer is quite convenient. And as a by-product of computers, online games become more and more popular among people especially young guys such as World of Warcraft and League of Legends. Thanks to the internet, people from all over the world can play games together. There are also many competition about online games and attracts a lot of young people to fight for their dreams to become the best player of the world.

When we talk about e-sports, we’ll think of WCG which is the best competition of e-sports all over the world. Players play games for their country and try their best to get a good rank in order to win honor both for their country and themselves. And I’d like to introduce Sky, Li Xiaofeng ,who won the first place of Warcraft 3 in WCG2005 and become the first Chinese to stand on the world podium. His experience makes lots of young people become interested in e-sports.

Who don’t want to stand on the world ? Who don’t want to make what they like as their job ? Who don’t want to win honor for their country? Now, e-sports give everyone a chance to play for your country, you don’t need to have a quite strong body, all you need is your love for online games. The development of online games spawned the e-sports. Samsung seized the chance and hold the biggest event of e-sports– WCG. Though this event will not be held again. But it has made a lasting impression on people who enjoy the e-sports.

E-sports is the same as normal sports. If you want to win, you need to practice a lot. And it’s a battle between intelligence instead of physical strength. E-sports player are also wage earner, they will be trained everyday by their club just like soccer and basketball players. But e-sports have its own advantage that other sports don’t have. It’s membership base. For instance, over 20 million over the world play League of Legend. It’s much bigger than other sports, isn’t it? From this, we can know the charm of the e-sports.

And the most important, online games is quite easy to learn and to enjoy when compare with others such as running, jumping. All you need is a computer that is connected to the internet. Now, there are more than 40 million people in China take part in varies kinds of e-sports. E-sports is not a game, it’s a battle and competitors fight for their dream. We can develope team spirit and improve the ability of thinking, reaction, eye coordination and also discipline our willpower. Quite good, don’t you think so? It’s wrong to say that play games is of no use. We can also win prize by playing games, we can also win honor by playing games and we can find our value by playing games.

Online games is not bad but we should not lose ourselves into it. We should enjoy it and play it appropriately. E-sports is fantastic and amazing and full of passion, and I think everyone can enjoy it. Life is also a big game, and we are the players of this game. We play this big game, and enjoy it. So , why not enjoy online games and e-sports. Where you can spray your youth freely.

“Once the dream into action, will become scared.” 　 　
FREE TO PLAY, a long documentary, is talking about three professional e-sports players’ fight for a $one million prize in the first Dota2 international invitational. It records the challenges and the sacrifice in the process of the competition.

By:Mingying Guo 134101136 Class1

“The film takes a critical look at the lives of Benedict “Hyhy” Lim, Danil “Dendi” Ishutin and Clinton “Fear” Loomis, three professional electronic sports players who participated in The International 2011, the most lucrative video game tournament to date at the time. The central focus of the film is how their commitment to Defense of the Ancients (Dota) had affected their lives and how this debut tournament for the sequel, Dota 2, would bring more meaning to their struggles.”
The movie is quite generally received by critics. Many people hold the belief that it’s a great documentary. It was truly a fantastic film with a strong story, great pacing, and fun, likeable characters. This was the movie you would want to show your family and friends that did not understand why you play competitive online games. But some people hold a different idea. A net friend dgrmouse commented “One thumbs down for the movie, two big thumbs down for watching movies through Steam.” When people asked why, he said “It was like watching Rudy, but without the football or the good acting.” “Rudy was dramatic, this was dramatized. He asked why the film didn’t appeal to me and I answered; as for whether or not the film deserves praise as “one of the best documentaries?” No, just no. For the unbiased viewer, you’re likely to find something better than this cliched piece on your cable TV right now.”
As we all know, traditional sports can loose loose bones and muscles and keep us fit. Many people love watching sports game on TV even stay up late. But what about the e-sports? Compared with traditional sports, e-sports players always sit in front of the computer. They often sit for hours without stop, which does harm to the eyes and causes an aggravated neck or shoulder. What’s more, the internet is the main medium for e-sports coverage. Because the amount of the e-sports’ audiences is quite few. There are only few news organizations dedicated to the e-sports. As a result, many people don’t agree e-sport is a sport.
The heated debate around e-sports in the internet is never stopped. Some say that e-sports are still in infancy, It’s too early to be defined as a sport. In the long run, developing into an entertainment would be right and proper. They do not support the e-sports to be so serious and became far from the purpose of relax, just like children wear adults’ clothes. Some regard e-sports as chess games. The chess game is playing on the chair and needs players’ high attention. It also requires players’ physical qualities, or players ’attention will decline and fail the competition. Like chess game can be recognized as a sport game. Why e-sports can’t?
FREE TO PLAY did not avoid the pain of the players. Through the cruelty of the e-sports mechanism itself, the things like what players suffered, the very short career, no fixed income and so on had been showed. People can see the present situation of e-sports industry is not perfect. In the eyes of the mainstream media, competitive game is just a game. Although in recent years the saying like “electronic heroin” with the game market scare expanding gradually, but game is still defined as the entertainment. Only the large market shares attract a glance from the well-heeled who hold the social speaking rights.
Whatever, the movie show the shout from the e-sports players who are pursuing their dreams. And I guess time will tell.
