501 #5 - Triangulation

 I created a very basic triangulation poster to get the basic points down of my three texts. 

The first text, Teaching History, is an educational website whose text on the history of video games focused on just the RPG genre, from text-based to modern. Although it's date isn't posted, it makes reference to the PlayStation 3 as 'recent' and multiple sources in it's bibliography are from 2012.

It follows a pretty linear look at graphical video game history, keeping it's language and structure fairly basic so anyone could understand it.

The second, PopCultureHQ, is from a fan website focused on cosplay and conventions, but the text is a detailed look at the history of polygonal 3D video games. It keeps it's language and structure simple, like the Teaching History text for the more amateur audience. It was written in 2018, so it was more recent than the Teaching History text, but polygonal 3D does not have as much history as video games in general.

The third, an article from History.com, an educational website with a basic overview of general video game history. It was posted in 2019, so it is the most recent of the three, and like the PopCultureHQ text, it looks at polygonal 3D, although not as in-depth. The text is also quite simply worded like the other two texts, clearly showing all three are meant for a public audience rather than industry professionals.
