Anda's Game Response

Anda's Game was very different from the stories that I usually read. It was a little off subject for me because I don't really play video games and this one sounds weird. Also, certain parts and the language of the story are confusing to readers who aren't involved with the game. It's sad to read about how it literally takes over some peoples lives to where that's all they do everyday. In particular, the main subject of this story, Anda is described as extremely obese. Also, it's dissapointing that she feels like the activity she gets in PE classes at school is a enough exercise for her. She obviously feels insecure about her body but doesn't try to do anything about it until she is forced to.
I thinks it interesting how much time and effort the players of this game put into it. For example, The Lizanator says that she spends four to six hours nearly every day playing. Also, it's interesting that the girls that play don't let people know that they are girls, they even have their character set as a boy. They do this because it was an "instant perv-magnet." However, some of the boys would have girl characters with features of their idea of a perfect girl.
This articles does a good job of describing the amount and type of violence that occurs in this game. This is a perfect example for the American citizen that argue about the violence displayed to children through video games. Also, it give some details, even though as the reader we aren't sure if they are true at first, about the young kids in sweatshops who are losing their dollar a day for their food when they are killed in the game. I do not support this game at all. It is very violent and it can hurt the poor child that forced to play it for food.
