My Introduction

 Hi  my name is Jack Roche and this is my introductory post for my Week 2 Website Design module.


I am from Cavan, I am 21 years old, and I am very much excited to be in the CDM course.

I don't have a favourite module however I am enjoying every module I have done so far equally and I am learning a lot as I go.


Some of my interests are in video games, animation, technology, cycling and movies. I love retro video games from consoles, arcades and handhelds alike! I'm very interested in the evolution of video gaming over the years, I even own some consoles and the like that predate me simply so I can see what the first ever real 3D games look like, and where the Mario Bros franchise all began. I am also like, an encyclopaedia of knowledge on early gaming I frequently find myself having to rip myself away from YouTube video's giving me even more info!


As for animation I have also LOVED old animation and old animation styles but not in the same sense as Video games, By old what I really mean is the 1990's and 2000's era which isn't old but isn't modern either? It was the times where Toy Story proved computer animated 3D animation could work but artists where still using the old Cell animated style and look as cartoons from the 80's, just a more polished version.


My Introduction is nearly complete, if your thinking I am a nerd for only talking about games and cartoons that's cause I am, Duh.

Don't even get me started on anime.

The End.

YOO Jack, I love your taste in video games retro classics are where it's at, your animation piece last year and coming up with your own character I thought was really cool. And yes sonic forces in 2021 is acceptable, I wish you all the best of luck with setting up that gaming society it's gonna be sick man keep up the good work!

Hi Jack,
Nice to hear that you are enjoying the CDM course, it would be nothing worse if you would hate some module. I love this course as well and even though the Multimedia course is a bit hard for me, I still enjoy learning new things.

Reading about your knowledge about game making made me think how different we are- I hardly played a computer game in my entire life! lol

Hey Jack

Great introduction post. That's really interesting that you own game consoles that are older then you are I'd say those are worth a lot of money now. I have an interest in cartoons too and i also really like Super Mario as well. I hope you are having a great time in this course.

Hey Jack,

Good to hear you're enjoying the CDM course. I think its pretty good too. At least theres a good variety of things to learn from it. I loved when you said things in the 90s were old haha. But that was the best time for animation in my opinion. Sometimes the simpler graphics work better in my opinion. See you around

Hey Jack!
It's always good to enjoy everything you're doing so its good you're liking every module!
I'm a big fan of retro games myself, I always feel so nostalgic when I play them.
I still have a PSP with some crash bandicoot games that I have somewhere around my house, I think that's probably the oldest console, or handheld console I have in my house.
It's been great learning a bit more about you!
See you around campus.
