Infographic

I decided to do my infographic on which Xbox360 series was considered the best overall. I chose what I believed, with some advice from my Xbox party friends, were the top six current series; creating the list of Call of Duty, Halo, Elder Scrolls, Minecraft, FIFA, and Madden. I wanted to get a game from every major category: shooter, role-playing, alternative, and sports. I originally didn't think of putting Minecraft into the mix, but its success on Xbox Live is unrivaled (I am also an addict). What I found out from my research was that while most Mason highschool students may prefer to play their Call of Duty, they may be better off playing another game (one that "experts" prefer) like Skyrim, or Halo. I was suprised by how many people really preferred to play sport games like FIFA and Madden (I personally choose to avoid this genre). However, this spike in this genre may be from where I collected my data--cross-country runners. Areas where I thought my data could be skewed is in the total units sold category. This si because certain games have been out longer than others, this is partly why I chose to use FIFA and Madden 2012, and not 2013, for the new version had just come out this summer. I had a lot of fun researching this data, and will probably coninue to check up on some of the websites I found for the latest statistical data on new games.


 

Superhero extended story

Vladimir was a common foot soldier deployed in the War in Afghanistan with the Soviet Union in 1982. However one day there was a near fatal accident that Vladimir was involved in. It was during a Soviet offense into the city of Herat and a car bomb explosion hit Vladimir's squad. All of Vladimir's squad was killed in the explosion and Vladimir was near death, however he was saved by a nearby medical team and put on life support. Vladimir's life would soon change as he was the perfect candidate for a new experimental armor suit.
Dr. Izil had been working on a suit of armor that could be hardwired into a person's body. The suit would increase the wearer's physical attributes like strength and speed, but would also equip the wearer with military weapons. Vladimir was rushed back to Moscow to receive the operation where he would be permanently altered by the procedure. The experimental process was a success and Vladimir would soon become the Soviet Union's strongest secret weapon. Equipped with gatling guns, rockets, and a tesla cannon, he was an unstoppable war machine.
As Vladimir roamed third world countries, destroying villages a new name began to follow him, Death Metal. Wherever he sent by the USSR he would bring destruction. Even after the collapse of the Soviet Union Vladimir was sent on missions by an underground organization still grasping to the Bolshevik-Communist empire. However, as the days wore on so did Vladimir's willingness to kill the innocent. In the year 2006 he decided to start his own path, one in which he did not take orders, but followed his heart and gave justice to those who he believed deserved it. He abandoned his real name Vladimir, and took up his common name...Death Metal.
Death Metal killed cruel dictators, stopped genocide, and fought the good fight. He thought he would be able to do this for as long as he could without any real competition. Although he wasn't the only one in a metal suit now. Dr. Izil was still working and had recently perfected his suit. And a new volunteer had come to the Doctor. Agent Abdulov was his name and he was a new model, this suit effected not only physically, but also  mentally. Agent Abdulov would commit the crimes of Dr. Izil and would hunt down Vladimir. This is where Death Metal's journey would take him.
