Educational Game Review

Game Review

Recently, I've been playing a new game.
It's called "Gravitee 2". You can play it for free online.
Click here to try it!!!

(Goal of the Game)

You have to throw a small white ball from one planet to other planets and hit targets
(green point balls or go through hoops) to get points. The gravity of the planets will
affect the ball so, you have to consider many things when you throw it.

My First move

I got 6 hits & more hits on it.

The game soon becomes more difficult

(Pros + and Cons -)

(+) The gravity is very real, so players can learn a little about astrophysics.
(+) The game is hard to master, but very easy to play...just click and adjust power and angle.
(+) It becomes difficult gradually, also there is a medal system, bronze is enough to pass a level.

(-) the game doesn't remember the power and angle of your throws, so it's hard to correct.
(-) this game is quite repetitive, the replay value is not so high.

(Rating)

I give this game 8 / 10,
I would recommend it to those who are interested in space.
You can always teach younger players about gravity using this game.

Ice Cream Survey Analysis

Ice Cream Survey Analysis

My research topic: Ice cream
Target : Japanese University students
Number of respondents : (37)

(Summary) Students answered 8 questions about ice cream.

(Results)

Graph#1 shows that most respondents like ice cream. In fact, 91.9% responded "yes", 8.1% responded "so-so", and there were no "no" responses. These results are not very surprising considering the popularity of ice cream in Japan.

#1

Graph#2 shows that Macha is the most popular kind of ice cream.  Perhaps the high result for Macha is due to the fact that all the respondents were from Japan. However, the fact that vanilla and chocolate were also very popular was not surprising. 

#2

Graph#3 shows Haagen Dazs as the respondents' favorite ice cream shop. This is surprising as there are not many Haagen Dazs shops in Japan. Thus, it is surprising that it is almost as popular as Baskin Robbins 31 which has many shops in Japan. Finally, it should also be noted that convenience stores were also popular and got 3rd place.

#3

Graph#4 shows that most participants eat ice cream once a week. A very surprising result was that one participant answered ten times a week. That being said, most participants answered between 2 and 3 times a week.

#4

Graph#5 shows that most respondents enjoy eating ice cream with their friends. The fact that there were fewer responses for winter and more for summer is not surprising.

#5

Graph#6 shows that the best time to eat ice cream is generally later in the evening. However, it should be noted that 15:00 (i.e., the middle of the afternoon) was the most selected time.

#6

List#7 shows original ice cream shop names suggested by the participants. Although not every response is shown here, many more original and interesting names were given.

#7

List#8 shows the participants' opinion of ice cream in terms of its health impact. Although not every response is shown here, many more original and interesting opinions were given. Most participants felt that eating ice cream is mostly unhealthy because of its high sugar content.

#8

(CONCLUSION)

This survey has many surprising results. These results could be very interesting to ice cream companies who want to sell ice cream to Japanese university students.

My Invention

The Cheaper Iphone
"Gara-Wifi-Ipod"

(Original Problem & Idea / Solution)

     Everyone knows having an Iphone and an internet data plan for an Iphone can be quite expensive. Actually, a two-year contract for an Iphone and unlimited internet can cost as much as 168000 yen (7000 yen /month x 24).
   
     My Invention which I've named the "Gara-Wifi-Ipod" combines two products with widely available wifi to enable you to save lots of money.

(Specifics)

・Purchase a new Gara-kei phone about 7000 yen & Softbank's white plan 36000 yen (1500 yen /month x 24).
・Purchase an Ipod touch (It's an Iphone without a phone included) for 20800 yen (16GB model).
・Use the wifi in your home or around you (at your work/school, in shops/restaurants) for unlimited internet.
・You can tie them together or stick the two together if you want. We sell these for 4200 yen.
・Although they will use up more space in your pocket, carrying them together is not a problem.

Total price : 63800 yen + 4200 yen (customized rubber band ) = 68000 yen
Total savings: You will save 100000 yen in just two years and much more in the future.

(Summary)

     Nowadays at your office at work, in schools, in homes, and in shops wifi is freely available. There is no need to buy an expensive package plan for a smartphone. Our alternative will save you 100000 yen in two years and much more in the future. Moreover, our rubber bands are the most fashionable items for your "Gara-Wifi-Ipod".

Product Review

Shure PG42 USB Microphone Review

(Overview)

The Shure PG42 condenser microphone is a semi-professional voice/sound recorder.
It's quality tuned for voice recording, although it can also handle sound/music recordings.
The retail price for the PG42 was around 25,000 yen.

(Features)

・Large diaphragm with great range.
・Pure USB microphone, therefore no XLR/USB converter is required.
・15dB on/off attenuator for low noise reduction
・High pass filtering on/off switch for high noise reduction.

(Pros and Cons)

(+) Works great with all OS systems (Windows, Mac)
(+) Has a professional high-quality case.
(+) Adjustable for both low/high noise reduction but a silent room is always best.
(+) Very easy to use with a computer (plug and play).
(+) Durable and reliable.

(-) The price is a little higher than other similar-quality condenser microphone models.
(-) Doesn't come with a microphone stand, so you'll need to get one or do without.
(-) Not portable, you should use it indoors in a quiet room.

(Rating)

I give this microphone a score of 9 / 10.

I think this a great microphone for someone who wants to have a semi-serious YOUTUBE Channel or Podcast. Although the price is a little higher than other similar products, it works great with both Mac and Windows, and it comes in a professional carrying case.
