The first thing i bought

I cant exactly remember the first thing i bought but the earliest thing that i remember that i bought was something that i really wanted was a wild west video game called red dead redemption. As a kid i saw the trailers for the game and i immediately wanted it. As a 10 year old kid i loved wild west films such as 3:10 to Yuma, back to the future part 3, a fistful of dollars etc. i saved up my Christmas and birthday money to purchase it myself. because i was 10 and it was a rated M video game. it took some convincing to my mom to get her permission. but when i purchased it i was so excited to finally get to play it. The game itself was as good as i imagined and i was satisfied with every cent i purchased.

men tend to enjoy violence in entertainment. as a kid i loved violent video games and films, but why do we? over the past several decades, movies have seemed to have gotten more and more violent with less censorship. back then with movies like Alfred Hitchcock’s “psycho” people in theaters were horrified of the shower scene. today something like that is nothing compared to what you’ll see in today entertainment. of coarse people like their movies to have a good story where the hero faces obstacles to achieve his/her goal. but us audiences like to see them overcome these challenges in a fun and creative way. the way we see it is less violence makes the story more boring. there needs to be weight and tension. we need to think that their is a possibility that the hero wont make it back and there isn’t a happy ending. have someone kill a bunch of bad guys is Hollywood way of showing how the hero gets through obstacles in the hero’s journey. we pay lots of money to watch these movies and play these types of video games and that is why Hollywood and the gaming industry keep making this type of content.
