I had to do the exact same presentation. I also have a similar job. Mostly LAN. Novell, and SAN administration. For my presentations I basically collected bad parts from around the office. A motherboard, RAM, hard disk, etc. As I spoke I would pass each part around and describe itâ(TM)s purpose. I also asked some questions to entertain:
Where did the term computer bug come from?
Who has ever played World of Warcraft?
Who has a Wii, Xbox, or Playstation?
How many websites exist?
Basically these questions lead me into topics that the class cared about. If a discussion startedâ¦great! Job done. If not I would ask the next leading question and see what happens.
I personally think that the nit-picking on graphics for this game have more to do with an underlying worry fans have about the tone of the game.
With the general idea being that D1 and D2 were fun because of the creepy tone the game gave you while playing. I play WoW and D2. When a monster comes at me in WoW, my basic reaction is, âoeGotâ(TM)a kill another oneâ or, *sigh* âoetime to run.â
In D2 you actually get some, âoeOH F@#$!!!â moments when floods of things come at you and the darkness seems to press in on you.
My thought is if the developers take shortcuts on the graphics by making it brighter, will the tone of the game change to match. Will I get my heart racing? Or with this be just another grind, level, grind, level, grind, gearâ¦game. If that is the case no one will play because WoW has that market locked up.
