What did you find most surprising about this study? I'm surprised that Mario Kart is the game that causes the most stress
-How does this relate to game science? Because it shows science about the games level of stress.
-How should game developers apply this information in creation of new games or updates to current ones? They could create a part of the game to calm the player down.
-How should consumers (gamers) apply this information as they seek to interact with these games? If they know they get stressed easily, then they should stay away from those types of games.

During this semester in E-Sports, I have learned a lot of new things. I have learned about what it takes to be a streamer and how to stream. I have learned about the roles of game developers and all of the complex things they have to do to make a game. I have learned about sound design and all of the ways people use different objects to make sound effects. Also, I have learned about OBS and how to use it. That is just a small sliver of learned and acomplished so far this semester and I'm excited to learn much more.

PC Component
Name of the component:
GPU (Graphics Processing Unit)
What the component does:
A GPU is responsible for rendering images, videos, and animations in a computer system. It processes graphical data and accelerates the creation of images in a frame buffer intended for output to a display device.
Ideal size/type of component for a gaming PC and why:
For a gaming PC, an ideal GPU would be a dedicated discrete graphics card. These GPUs are designed specifically for graphics-intensive tasks like gaming and provide superior performance compared to integrated graphics solutions. The size of the GPU would depend on the available space in the PC case and the cooling solution used. Generally, mid-range to high-end GPUs offer the best gaming performance, providing smooth gameplay at high resolutions and frame rates.
