A Whole New World

Well yesterday I discussed the influence of technology on the writing world, so today I figured i would explore other aspects of the internet and one of the communities it forms. With Daniel's assistance, I explored a community he is familiar with: gaming, more specifically League of Legends. Basically, League of Legends is an online multiplayer (5 people per team) game that reminds me of laser tag. The two teams each have a base, and they try take down the other team's base. In the process of doing so, they destroy towers that would otherwise prevent them from reaching the base. Additionally, they must fight the other team to protect their own base. That may be a mediocre way of describing it, but if I had to explain it to my little brother, that's how I would phrase it. The birth of this analogy took place when I began playing matches with Daniel against robots, but I never really understood or appreciated the community as a whole. So here's a little shout-out to and opinion of another world created by the technology of the internet.
