Creating my Avatar

The reason why I chose this image to be my avatar for my domain was because the game the it represents, Elder Scrolls 5, Skyrim, was the most influential game in my gaming experience. To this day, it is still the game that I have logged the most hours on and it also given me many inside jokes with fellow gamers. Skyrim was the first open world role-playing-game that I ever played. It continuously provided me with new and exciting experiences and quests and was a game that my friends and I could bond over by talking about. One of the things that was the most fun about the game was the amount of choice involved. Whether it’s taking castles with sword and shield in hand, or fighting mages in the mountains in the north, the game simply never failed to amaze. I was in awe of the incredibly expansive upgrade system and loved to level up my character. It was also very interesting to me how much my morals in real life affected how I played the game. For example, I would never steal at first in the game even if I knew that there was no chance that I would be caught because that is not something that I would do in real life. Overall, Skyrim, was definitely one of the most fun games that I have ever played so I thought it was the natural decision to make it my avatar for my website about video games.

Figuring out how to make the avatar and upload it to my domain and subdomain, made me feel less technologically savvy. I struggled for hours trying to get it to work and for someone who plays as many video games and spends as much time on the internet as I do, it was quite embarrassing.
