Free Choice

Alot of people ask me why I take gaming seriously. I usually answer them saying "its just something i really enjoy doing." To some people, gaming is just a waste of time and dont see why people do it, but others do understand, and thoes are the people ive choosen to have around me. The gaming community has grown in recent years along with the technology to livestream gameplay and record anything anyone desires to play.





Some people decided to make companies dedicated to gamers and everything they need to make them better at the game. Companies also sponsor those who make a living off of gaming. People all over the world are also starting up channels on a social media sight known today as YouTube. Tens of thousands of people want to follow in the footsteps of people they look up to. Those people have taken the simple act of uploading gameplay to a social site, into a career. many companies like Machinima inc. have offered partnerships to those who, like me, take gaming to a whole new level and also upload to YouTube.

I take gaming seriously because there have been so many opportunities to thoes who just started off like me, a kid who loves to play video games and decided to make their dream, of being successful through video games, a reality.

About Me

Hello! My name is Robert De La Rosa. I am 18 years old and currently attending Back Bay High School. My hobbies consist of drawing, filming, photography, hanging out with friends and playing Xbox. Alot of people ask me what i want to do after high school, but the problem is, im not sure what i want to do. I might end up going to a community college to take a couple of classes for filmography, but im still not sure if that is going to be my future career. i have been thinking, and i am probably going to end up taking filmography classes at my community college. i want to make short films that people will enjoy on the internet. i am also considering being an internet entertainer on social media sites like YouTube. its sounds a little wierd to people when i tell them that i want to entertain people on the internet, but what i dont tell people right off the bat is that it will just be a hobby. its something to keep me occupied when i have nothing to do after working and going to college. It will also help me get more familiar with the editing side of the internet and computers and ill also have something to practice on if i ever learn something new in my college classes. Hopfully you get to know me a little better after reading this and have found a reason to talk to me or just ask any questions.

My Favorite Hobbies

My favorite hobbies would probably be filming and video games. I  have all kinds of film ideas that i think would  receive positive feedback from a wide variety of people. unfortunately, i do not have the knowledge, experience, or the equipment to even start filming. editing videos and clips into the film is another thing i need experience with. hopefully i will soon get a job so that im able to pay for my equipment and be able to take some film classes at my local community college to help out with the project. whether its big film projects to recording the things i do everyday, film/photography is something i really enjoy doing because it can lead to alot of paths in the future.

Another hobby i enjoy doing is playing video games. for me, video games has been a big part of my life. since my childhood, i was sucked into the gaming world and all the things it had to offer. whether it was a gameboy or a controller, i would never be far away from a video game. over the years, technology has advanced, more and more people are being sucked into the gaming community. New tournaments are being held for gaming crews to see which are more superior and there is a well known pro circut also known as Major Leauge Gaming (MLG). there are also companies designed to enhance your online performance such: as Scuf Controllers, Turtle Beach Systems and Razer Inc.these companies also sponser gamers across the globe to use their products at gaming events or in their everyday lives. some people even record their gameplay and post it on the internet and get thousands of people waching them daily and companies, like the ones listed above, offer sponserships to them for gaining a fanbase and advertising to get people to buy companies products.

 hopfully one day, ill play a role in the gaming community and find a way to implament both gaming and filmography so i can find a career that i will look forward to doing everytime i wake up.
