The basis of our game is there is one player who plays “Randy.” Randy has the job of dealing out phones which players can purchase through currency received by answering questions. Through buying these phones players gain certain perks or advantages over the others in the game, the perks on each phone are different and there is a variety of different phones to purchase with varying prices. Randy is also in charge of dealing out currency and asking the questions along with the dealing of phones. The game begins with a roll of a dice and the player with the highest number can ask answer a question first of different varying difficulties. The stages go hard questions for $200, medium for $100 and easy for $50.

My group and I tried to even out the work load by trying to do equal parts of the game, we all discussed what the rules would be with Jimmy writing the final copy of the rules while Xavier and I worked on coming up with perks for the phones and making their cards and working on the design of the board. We all also contributed by writing out the questions although Jimmy had put a lot of the effort into the writing of the questions. All in all I would say that our work load was pretty evenly divided among us. Most of all decisions on the game were made by the whole group and everyone in our groups opinions were taken into account.


In the process of making the game I learnt teamwork and collaboration with group members and coming to a resolve that would satisfy everyone in the group even if something did not work out how I wanted it to. I also feel like I learnt to manage my time very well and we were able to  complete everything on time.  I learned to use the process of trial and error and working around obstacles that faced us in terms of the playability of the finished product and making the game fair and appealing to everyone.  In the end it was a fun experience.

In terms of playability I mean to stay modest but must say that I quite enjoyed our game and personally see it as pretty good. It’s fun to play and fair as long as you can keep up with the questions and not be annoyed by certain perks other players have purchased throwing obstacles in your way. I personally think we could have done a bit more work on our board but still think everything was executed well. I don’t think our game is something that you could play over and over again though because of the simple fact that the questions would get far too repetitive.
 
Sicko Review


This movie was a very shocking and interesting documentary about healthcare systems in the US, Canada, Britain, Cuba and France. It really opened my eyes to the horrible things that the medical insurance companies in the US do. I was aware that it was bad but was unsure of the exact extent of how much people had to pay and how helpless these companies leave people who are very sick or injured and need health care just to make more money if they don’t have coverage. I was totally unaware of the different ways the companies could make people ineligible for insurance and how they totally don’t provide people with pre existing conditions insurance so they don’t have to pay their bills. In France to my understanding you receive insurance through your employer or can apply for insurance through a private company BUT here is where the two systems differ: If you are unable to get insurance or are unemployed the French government will cover your expenses but they try to pay for it in a stingy manner so people don’t totally rely on the government but their not leaving people to die unlike in the US where if you don’t have insurance you’re pretty much out of luck. In France there are public and private hospitals. At the private hospitals you may have to pay more but you will get the best services and getting you treatments will be a priority. At public hospitals everything is free but service will be slower and it will be less nice than a private hospital but you won’t have to pay out of pocket because it will covered by the government. Another difference is in France medical service providers are paid less than in the US. I personally think France has one of the best systems in the world although the American and French systems are very similar but France executes their system better than the US. In Canada we have a similar system although mostly all of our medical bills are totally covered by what we pay through our taxes. The only real problem with these systems is that there is very long wait times for treatments deemed “not life threatening”, you could be waiting for 9 months for things such as CAT scans and MRI’s. The thing with the American system is that if you have insurance you’re given priority and the best care in the world. All in all I still think the idea of the government having your back if you can’t pay is much better than people being left to die if they don’t have insurance. I give this movie 8.5/10 stars.

J’ai bien aimé le film. Le film était au sujet de vengeance pour Edward Dantes, il est trahi par son ami. Le film était d'aventures et d'action. J’ai pensé que le film était lent au début. Le film était version française avec sous-titré anglais. J’ai pensé que Jim Caviezel (Edward Dantes) était trés bein un acteur. Le premier rôle féminin était Dagmara Domińczyk (Mercedes). Le second rôle Guy Pearce (Frenand Mondego).  Quelques scènes étaient petit et inutile. J’ai aimé les scènes qui n’étaient pas ennuyeux. l'écriture était trés bein! Il y avait beaucoup d’action près de le fin. J’ai pensé que le scène où Edward tué Mondego était anticlimactic. Quelques  scènes étaient trés ennuyeux. Le truquage pas bon. La bande sonore était pas bon. Le métrage était trés bein. Je donnerais le film 8.5 sur 10.
