PlayerUnknown's BattleGrounds (I will refer to it as PUBG), is easily the most popular PC game out right now and it's still in early access. PUBG has sold more than 10 million copies, with 1.5 million concurrent players. I first played PUBG when my brother showed it to me and let me play some and I instantly loved everything about it. I'm very competitive and battle royale game modes channel that competitive drive and force you to try-hard every single game. Now three months after I bought the game I've sunk 250 hours in it and i'm not gonna stop playing anytime soon. But all 250 hours haven't been tons of fun. The main reason I see criticism for PUBG is that there is too much RNG and it's hard to be a competitive game when there's so much luck involved. I agree wholeheartedly that luck plays too much of a part for it to be competitive but sometimes that's not a bad thing. If it's pure skill then anyone who's new to the game has a chance to win even if they're up against a much better player, but if you're a better player you will most likely win the fight nine out of ten times. My main problem with the game is how reliant you are on where the safe zone is. The safe zone gets smaller and smaller as the game goes on to push people together but towards the late game when the danger zone does an eighth of your health every second, if the new safe zone is on the other side of the person you're fighting then they can hide and you've lost the fight already. And it doesn't help that the blue zone is faster than you so you can't even out run it. Other than this and a few other minor problems I have with the game, I think it's a ton of fun if you love shooters and are very competitive. I give PUBG a 8/10.

Graphic Design has always looked like a cool job, but I didn't know much about it going into freshman year. I always doodle in class ( even if they suck) and graphic design to me was just making doodles on a page that make it look good. People always tell you that high school is the place where you figure out what you're going to do in your life, and that's really stressful sometimes. So when I heard we would be researching careers in game design I thought about graphic design and decided that I was going to get a more in depth understanding on it. After my research I realized I was sort of right. Graphic Design is just making visual concepts that pull the viewers in. They have to do other stuff like talk with clients about what exactly to do, but the bulk of the job is the actual designing part. Apart from the project I also learned that it wasn't very cheap to have the right tools. It cost about $200 to have a good tablet to draw with, and you have to buy software like Adobe Photoshop. All in all graphic designing is a fun job for creative minds.
