Heros

I found it interesting, in the video, that a mother was considered a hero. She changed anothers life and gave it a choice so she is considered a hero. I think that mythology in reference to the video is very purtinant to the online gaming world. Each character has the chioce to accomplish something that makes them of worth and changes that game or each character stumbles upon something that makes them change who they are. This can be a battle, a challenge, a mission or just getting lost. Each of these things call for character adaptaion and that is what they talk about in the video as being what makes a hero. It can be by chance or it can be by will. I think that the who reason to engage in a game is to make something of the avatar that was created. Nobody wants to just create a character and have it be in the background. The whole point is to be better, to change and make a name for the character- become a hero. I think that the hero of many faces is right on: we all want to find something to believe in and those things change and take the form in which we believe them to be.
