For my interview I went to Game Stop which I did my site visit at. I am doing two interviews one is at a Game Stop which is this one and the other one is Nintendo which is not a interview that I will be seeing him. When I went to Game Stop I interviewed a worker who liked to play Fortnite.

I asked her how some gaming companies that have affected them and one that she mentioned was Epic Games. She responded and said that Epic Games actually effected her store positively because it makes more customers come and by the consoles and toys. She said Epic Games has helped them because more customers come and buy the stuff. Some of the the most popular things that she mentioned were the consoles with the exclusive bundles. The Eon skim bundle had attracted many people because not many stores sell this bundle. And when I asked her how Fortnite is very popular answered and she said the reason why is because there is no blood and gore. She said that even if you don’t get the win it is still very fun because you were able to play with your friends.

Another reason why Epic Games are helping them is because they have limited time offers that you can get like the Nintendo Switch bundle. They were able to get the Nintendo to create a bundle because many people like the Nintendo Switch so many people bought it because it is the same price as the normal Nintendo Switch so many people bought it. Nintendo does not sell it though.

This was my interview at Game Stop. I will do my next interview and get more information.

Capstone Site Visit

Have you ever been to a Gamestop store where they sell all kinds of video game stuff? Well the site visit for my Capstone project was to a Gamestop store where I got some images on things they sold for Fortnite. One of the things they sold was the Fortnite deep freeze bundle which is a bundle which comes with a skin named frostbite, a freezing point back bling, a harvesting tool known as the chill-axe pickaxe, a cold front glider and 1,000 V-Bucks in game currency. The bundle was only available on Nintendo Switch PS4 and XBox + PC, and was snowy-themed. The reason why many people wanted this is because it was $30 for the whole bundle that included all of those items. Another reason why people wanted this bundle is because the Raptor, which is a more iconic yellow version of the frostbite skin is $20 just for the skin and back blink. Although the Havoc looks more alike to the frostbite skin, it is more rare and free, but not many players have it because it was a season 2 bundle. If you didn’t have the Havoc, which was in the first twitch prime bundle that came with all these items: Backup Plan (back bling), Havoc and Sub Commander outfits, Instigator (harvesting tool), Slipstream (glider) and four emotes, then the frostbite bundle was a cool thing to have.

Another thing they sold was the Xbox One S with the Fortnite exclusive Eon skin bundle. In the bundle you would get the Eon (outfit) which is the white,black and green version of the oblivion or criterion. You would also get the Resonator (harvesting tool) which is a remake of the onslaught which is the season 4 omegas (harvesting) and the Aurora glider. It is the second most expensive outfits in the game. It is not a great skin though. Many people buy the bundle for the pickaxe and 2000 Vbucks. It was $299.

Last but not least they sold the Nintendo switch skin. Double Helix. When you bought the switch you would get the Double Helix (outfit)

Which was a worse remake of the Archetype which is black and green.

You would also get the Telemetry (backbling), Pinpoint (harvesting tool and the Rotor (glider). This outfit is the most expensive skin in the game.

It is $299.99 which is $.99 more than the Eon outfit.

These were the most and best things I was able to find in the store.

Xbox, Eon skin Bundle

Fortnite, Deep Freeze bundle

        After a great deal of thinking, I decided to switch my topic from swimming to Epic Games, a gaming company who created Fortnite. I chose this because it seemed interesting and easier to research than swimming. I was deciding for a very long time till I decided to switch to Epic Games.

The reasons I chose Epic Games, is because it seemed interesting and wasn’t as hard to think of a main inquiry question but especially since I like and play their games. Mrs. Cooper gave us a sheet with around 10 different questions that had words and blank spaces that we had to fill in relating to our own topic. I reread all the sentences and the top two that I liked the most were, “How has Epic Games affected other gaming companies?” The second one was, “How has Epic Games evolved over time?” Then I decided that I liked the first one better and chose that as my main inquiry question. I started typing my inquiry question then started creating sub questions which are mini questions that are under your main question. The first one that was very easy to think of was “What other gaming companies are rivals with Epic Games and why?”. I liked this question because it was a question which I could search but then add a follow up question to explain why.

The next step was looking for some websites that I could use. It was not so hard to find websites. All I had to do was search “Who are Epic Games rivals?” There were many, many sites but the school has blocked them which made it super hard and I had to waste 20 minutes to find 8 websites that were not blocked. I read some of the paragraphs for some websites. Some were good but many were bad. I copied them and put them on a sheet on the Chromebook. I read some links and switched some for different links. I even put in some that were blocked because I could research them at home. Then I finished the links.

I am happy that I finished and I am excited to do the Capstone research.

At school we have this project called Capstone which is a project which is when you research on a topic you are interested in.Mine were swimming,fortnite and animals.But since all of them were to broad of a topic I had to think of new ones.We were supposed to find a topic that was not so broad and it was not a topic with lots of opinion.

             When I started I was thinking of doing fortnite but I was thinking it would be a hard so I thought of a topic which wouldn’t be so difficult.I was thinking of swimming.

I am good at swimming I just didn’t know the history of how and why it was created

When I chose my topic we had to make some questions that were related to our topic. You had to group the questions like math art music etc.I made some questions for math.One question was What year was swimming created.I had a few questions for culture which what country created swimming and why.I finished my topic and now we are creating a topic that is less broad from a topic like swimming.
