Week 1

I havent blogged in a while since the first week but for all of you out there who do not know who I am my name is Collin Hyte and I a current senior at Norwich University in Vermont. I am on the Tennis team here at school and do a lot of outdoor activities, longboard, play frisbee, swim, when I am not playing tennis. I am not really into video games that much, except I play this game for the original XBOX called Topspin and I used to play that non stop with my younger brothers.

I'd have to say that my favorite board game is monopoly, maybe if it is the average person's favorite game, I have played it since I was a kid with my mom and rummy as well. Mostly card games I have been exposed to throughout my life. Othello is a great game as well you can play it when your young or when you are old and it teaches you how to be aware of a lot of different situations when playing a game or just in life in general.

This class that I am taking with Prof. Hansen is very different than the normal 3 hour boring class. The class is not boring at all. I am very interested in what we are talking about because this is a class in which you talk about games in a different prospective. Games and Algorithms is the name of the class and in every board game and video game there is a way to play it no matter if it chance or if it is through an arithomatic equation.

I'm looking forward to seeing what is in store for the rest of the semester.
