In my tech class, we have been learning about video games. We have to write about video games that have something to do with our blog topic. Of course, spiders have been made out by movies and many video games to be scary. This hasn't helped spiders as animals at all. It makes people see the horrific "spider" in the game or movie and makes them think that they are just as bad or worse in real life. Yep, they really are freaky in games, and here is one person's top 10 list of them. I have never played any of the games he mentions, but after reading his description of them, I am glad that I am not writing this at night. It is more like noon, but that is beside the point. Many of the spiders aren't really spiders, but weird, creepy, things that are supposed to look like spiders and they aren't even close to spiders. Some games do have actual spiders in them, but the others are just freak creatures that to me are scary, but pointless. And they aren't helping people out with their opinions on the real creatures.
Another game with spiders that hurt you is Minecraft. This is one of my personal favorite games to play and I really enjoy many of it's variants, like Feed the Beast and Tekkit. As many people know, the game is very fun to play and the world is made up of blocks, which are made of blocks. Nothing is round. Everything, including the spiders, are square-ish. Everything that is supposed to look like what it is, does look pretty good. But they use little tiny squares to make up the different parts. But they are scary and they have red eyes and make noises. They are fast and when they bite you, you die pretty quickly. Unless you have an armor suit on, you should stay away from the spiders as much as possible. And the other mobs too, but the spiders are pretty bad. There is also the spider jockey, which is a skeleton with the usual bow and arrow ridding a spider. They are very deadly, as the skeleton can hit you from a ways a way and it has the speed and agility of the spider.
Other games like to make the spiders the good guys, like this one and I like these games. In this game, a scientist has developed this gear that lets him control a spider. Of course, there are bad guys who don't like this and they kill the scientist and take his mind control equipment. Even though he is dead, his conscience is still in the little spider and the little spider goes after the bad guys to get the equipment and his life back. You are taken throughout the game in 32 different dangerous levels. There are falling beakers, cybornetic hornets to mechanical arms and bomb-dropping bats, and when you are only an inch tall, you could die from just about anything.
I like spiders and think in real life, they are really cool. However, the movie and video game makers rely on people's reactions to spiders to make them scary and this is how they sell their games. I don't like them and most of them are too violent for me to begin with. That and my parents don't like violent games either. It is interesting to see what these people come up with for "spiders", but I think they are a waste of time, except Minecraft. That is a game that I will play whether it has spiders in it or not.
