This is a marvelous look at how video games come to life through their "inner workings."

Those old, antiquated games from the 1970s like the Atari 2600 have absolutely nothing in common with today's games. Not so fast, the have a lot in common, In fact "most game systems are basically the same. The graphics in the newer games are out-of-sight awesome, but the "guts" of the consoles are the same. They include things such as processors, a software kernel, computer code, storage space, memory, outputs, and controls. It's basically a team effort between all these parts that "bring your games to life." Perhaps you have approached the expert level in some of your games, but do you know about the workings of the console?

The console has to have some way of thinking or none of the video games would be at all exciting. In fact you'd much rather clean your room if that were the case. The inner brain of the console is "known as the central processing unit, or CPU for short." Both video consoles and computers need them in order to run properly, but of course the CPU cannot work in isolation. The kernel holds a couple of important jobs. For example, "it helps the CPU talk to the software" and other "important pieces of hardware besides the CPU." In a nutshell, that kernel is the mover and shaker in the system.

It should be easy to program a game or write in code? Wrong. The CPU needs instructions because it "only speaks a specific language and that language is called programming code." You'll be wowed when you see an example of a two word character in a game and just how complicated it looks. You'll learn all about the computer programmers who make those games you love come alive. You'll also learn about things like game engines, game cartridges and subsequent upgrades such as DVDs and Blu-ray Discs, RAM, specialized cables, controllers, touch screens, and many other things that make those video games perform.

This is a marvelous look at how video games come to life through their "inner workings." Technology has come a long way from the creation of the Atari 2600 to the consoles and games we're seeing today. Young gamers will be fascinated with the history of consoles, their guts, and how they work. The layout of the book is exciting and has numerous, small informative sidebars that add additional information. For example, one says "hardware = any kind of computer program, including video games." There a very interesting section entitled "Breakthroughs in Technology" that offers a historical overview to the young reader.

Very basic

I bought âThe Crazy Careers of Video Game Designersâ for my teenage daughter because she is interested in becoming a video game writer and I wanted to inspire her to go after her dream, while also letting her know whatâs involved in getting there.

It does tell you the jobs that are needed to design and build a video game, itâs just that the descriptions are VERY brief and at 32 pages (including a page each for the title page, TOC, further reading, index, and photo acknowledgments), I consider it to be more like a pamphlet than a book.

I was expecting something with a little more substance, rather than a fleeting overview.

... these books for our school library and the kids love them.

This is a fun and fascinating look at careers in the video game world that will amaze young readers ...

Having a career in the field of video game design would be the way to go and would be one way to justify all those gaming hours. Wait, it's not all that easy and there are definitely a lot of career possibilities to consider and jobs to take a close look at. There are "indie [independent] game companies," small companies or people who design video games from A to Z, but for the most part, it takes a lot of people to create just one game. If you seriously want a career in the industry it will "require lots of studying, reading, and work." Time to put down that controller for a while and hit the books.

The game designer is the central person in the creation of a game. He or she "ensures everyone is doing the game properly." If even one thing is out of sync the flow of the game will be interrupted. The game designer's job all boils down to one thing and that's to "make sure the game is fun for players." Would you be a gamer if the games were boring? Probably not. A game designer isn't the only person career option in the field. There's the level designer, sound designer, environment artist, combat designer, game writer, programmer, character artist, rigger, animator, and last, but not least, the QA.

Throughout this book, you'll learn all about the people who have chosen these particular career paths. You can probably easily figure out what artists, game writers, programmers, and animators do, but might be clueless about some of the others. A level designer "decides where and when the game takes place" for starters, but also does things such as making those levels we are all familiar with. Have you ever tried to "beat each level" only to have something like a "fire-breathing dragon" defeat you? In this book, you'll take a look at all the "crazy careers" in the world of video games. Still don't know what a QA is? You will once you've finished this book!

This is a fun and fascinating look at careers in the video game world that will amaze young readers.

Title: Growing Your Money

Author: Bitsy Kemper

Narrator: Intuitive

Format: Unabridged

Length: 25 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-26-17

Publisher: Lerner Publishing Group

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

Making your money grow over time is easier than you might think. Investing is a great skill to learn. The sooner you start investing, the more money you can make. But what kinds of investments are there? Which ones are risky, and which ones are safer? Listen to this audiobook to learn how smart investors can grow their money.

Members Reviews:

This is a fascinating, comprehensive book that will teach children how make their money work for them ...

You may have started making a little money around the neighborhood or even at a part-time job. Spending it might be an option, but âthere are many ways to grow your moneyâ by investing. You can earn interest by purchasing stocks, bonds, or put your money in a safer account like a CD or money market. Investing can make your money grow, something that wonât happen if you put it in your piggy bank or spend it. One of the reasons you might want to invest some of your money is because of inflation, an âincrease in prices.â This book will help you learn about investments and make some decisions as to what you might want to invest in.

There are many things to invest in, but one of the things youâll have to think about is that risk factor. If you invest in risky investments âyou can grow your money quickly,â but you just could lose out. On the other hand, if you want to be on the safe side you can go the low-risk route. Safe accounts include savings accounts, certificates of deposit or CDs, and money markets. Just how much of a risk taker are you? Your money will grow by earning interest, âmoney that banks or credit unions give you.â There are many decisions youâll have to make, but youâll get to take a look at each type of investment and the pros and cons of each one.

It might seem an easy route to go by investing in stock, but it can be tricky. You never can predict the âfuture of companiesâ or how theyâll perform. Then again there are bonds, but they too can be tricky because âthey are rated based on their risk.â Decisions, decisions, decisions! In this book youâll learn about investing your money and by the time you finish, youâll be armed with a lot of important information. Youâll also learn about how your accounts are insured, the importance of researching investment possibilities, stocks, bonds, investing in goods, and many other valuable insights that will help you to âlearn how smart investors can grow their money.â

This is a fascinating, comprehensive book that will teach children how make their money work for them. Of course this isnât a detailed book about finances, but rather one that will help children who are now earning money how to âgrow it.â Understanding the way money works will help them as they begin to manage their own finances in the future. The chapters are broken down into manageable amounts of information that logically outline what investments are all about and how to work with them. There are full color photographs, âDid You Knowâ sidebars, âDecision Timeâ sidebars, and graphs that will further explain investment concepts. For example, one shows the history of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. In the back of the book is an index, a glossary, a list of âTop Ten Things to Know,â and additional recommended book and website resources to explore.
