Class 8, Assignment 7: World of Warcraft vs JME

World of Warcraft Screenshots:

here I am!

These guys want me dead. Even with all of this action, game speed did not suffer which surprised me.

     Running JME was very frustrating and it took a lot of time just to figure out how to initiate the application. The Applet did not work at all, Showcase worked after tinkering with settings, and Webstart started after I switched computers. I was surprised, however, on how smooth rendering was especially on WebStart. I must say that the tower and hovering tank that I ran looked very good and ran cleanly on my machine. With all that being said this would not be good enough for me to play JME games and the main reason for this is the constant crashing that occurs.
     World of Warcraft on the other hand also ran very smoothly and most importantly was very easy to use. Compared to JME I never felt as though my machine was in any way ready to crash and even when the game became really heavy, there was no lag. So in terms of visual quality, JME and WoW may be close in comparison, but WoW takes the cake in terms of speed and consistency.
