Zelda (The GAME)

Zelda is an old adventure game where you play as a character named Link who travels around Hyrule with Navi, his magical fairy that basically warns him when he's in danger or shows him helpful stuff. A lot of older guys and girls probably grew up playing this if they had an N64, and then there's the people, like me, who still have an N64 and play it. These days you can just go on a recent Nintendo system like a Wii and buy the old games so you can play them on the system without actually having the game. Basically you start off as a little kid in a town that he was placed in for that certain game, for example, Clocktown or Kokiriko Village. You always end up meeting up with a girl named "Zelda" who's always somehow involved with a villain named "Ganondorf" and your goal is to save her in whatever way you can, which involves destroying many challenging bosses with whatever equipment you have. Or in the game "Majora's Mask" your goal is to find and defeat "Skull Kid" , take the mask before the moon falls down and destroys THE WORLD. Link ends up being a HERO at the end of the games, and is a lot stronger than he was at the beginning of the game. After you beat the games you get a nice little song with some credits and you can run around doing whatever you want. Zelda games forged the path for all other adventure games because it's best adventure game still.

Pokemon :D

Pokemon, the things from EVERYONE'S childhoods, that's still in fact holding strong  for well over 12 years. They even attract the attention of teens that grew up with it too, there's no such thing as outgrowing pokemon, especially when at this current time there's a pokemon that literally looks like everything you'd see in daily life, like deer, dogs, cats, mice, and even giant garbage bags and ice cream cones. If you ask anybody that grew up with pokemon in their childhood what fire's weakness is they'll without a doubt say water, rock and ground. There isn't a person on Earth today that hasn't heard of pokemon, played a pokemon game, or watched it on T.V and guaranteed, every person has a favorite pokemon over all the other 450 + pokemon, mine is Arcanine, because nobody messes with Arcanine.

Pokemon has been going strong now for over 12 years, with people that used to like it, and young kids growing up today playing it either with the new games or had the older games given to them by their parents who also used to play it. Honestly I think pokemon will stay strong and still be used for years and years to come, until all the makers die off, or they completely run out of ideas for new pokemon. There was no greater joy than waking up every morning and seeing Ash and Pikachu on the T.V screen, or when playing the old games on your old Gameboy and seeing your favorite pokemon evolve into something a lot bigger, stronger, and more importantly... cool looking! But with all the greatness of pokemon, there was still some downfalls, like how some looked REALLY terribly stupid, or when you were at a gym and couln't beat it at all and had many frustrating and embarrassing defeats. Sending out your favorite pokemon was one of the greatest feelings in the game but seeing it get crushed after a single hit usually led to the Gameboy being thrown across the room.

So there it is, my take on pokemon, the single greatest show and game series ever, none will ever beat it and that's guaranteed. Many great memories were made with those games, now let me bring some of them back with this.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuYeHPFR3f0  ;)

Being Bored

Being bored is a curse that plagues every living person without fail at least once or twice a day. No matter what the weather is, you will still get really bored because boringness doesn't care about the weather, it just wants you to have nothing to do. As many times as your parents say "get off your lazy butt and do something!" you'll come back with the always original "THERE'S NOTHING TO DO!" and then go about your day, sitting there while your brain melts watching random youtube video's... We've all been there. Then there's the "bored eaters" that just pig out because there's nothing else to do, and after Summer's over and you have that glorious double keg that's barely held in by your extra stretchy XL size torn muscle shirt that obviously attracts all the ladies; your parents tell you to get in shape and you reply with "i will later, when it cools down", when in reality it would take more than 2 million dollars to move you off that couch. The worst part is knowing there's nothing you can do about it and you have to sit there forever while your brain and energy and will to live slowly melt away.

Prototype 2

The second game in the Prototype series, which is definately better than the first. In the first Prototype you are playing in New York City as a guy named Alex Mercer. You start off seeing him laying on a hospital bed about to be operated on; before the surgeon can get the knife to his chest, Alex wakes up and kills both doctors and runs out of the base while being chased by soldiers. While running, he gets to a dead end and thinks it's the end but decides to try and get over the wall and with one inhuman jump he's over it without a scratch. We later find out that he's infected with a virus called "Blacklight", this is giving him super human strength, speed, endurance, and the ability to change his body into the people he consumes, and change his limbs or whole body into many different weapons and shields to take out his enemies.

Throughout the whole game you are trying to take down Blackwatch, an elite military force assembled to get rid of the infection and all the people infected by the Blacklight virus. Alex doesn't remember anything, how he got the virus, where his family is, or any part of his life for that matter so you're trying to help him find out. At the end of the game Alex finds out that he died before the events in the game and that he himself IS the Blacklight virus in the form of his old body.

Now Alex isn't all bad, he kills in order to save his sister who's being hunted because she interacted with him. Plus he wants to destroy the virus, even though he knows as long as he's around, it's going to be around as well. This is where the main character and hero of Prototype 2 comes in, James Heller, an ex-soldier who's after every infected person, creature, and mostly Alex Mercer for killing his wife. At the beginning of the game you see James in a military vehicle on his way to the "Red Zone" which is an area with fierce military presence and a lot of infected. On his way there the tank he's in gets hit by a car that was hurled through the air and James ends up laying in the street looking up at all the infected birds flying around. After gaining consciousness James looks around to see Alex falling from the sky, landing on the ground in front of him then explodes with some kind of wave. Alex then walks around searching the dead bodies and hurls a tank through the air like a little rock; James gets mad and runs up behind him, cuts Alex's throat and Alex, still alive, sends James back into a wall with a movement of his arm.

Alex then walks away, only to be followed by James, and at the end of the chasing game, Alex infects James. James takes the virus the same way Alex did, and can use it to his advantage, but Alex planned this because he wanted James as a soldier. The whole game involves James trying to destroy the Blacklight virus and stop Alex from releasing his own Whitelight virus which is designed to "stop" the Blacklight. The Whitelight virus is still designed to infect people but not in the primal bloodthirsty way the Blacklight virus did to everyone, it made people immune but also gave them superhuman abilities; in other words Alex's plan was to drown out a virus with another virus that he'd be in control of.

James finds this out and can't handle it because he learns that his daughter Miya is alive, but Alex plans to use her genetics to help "mother" the virus throughout the new world. In a blind rage he finds Alex, beats him to death and cleans the entire city of all infection.

He Man

The heroic character that starred in Masters of the Universe. Many people don't know who he is, and they should be educated. He Man was a hero that defended the realm of Eternia and all the secrets of Castle Grayskull from Skeletor and all his evil forces. In the late 1980's the franchise had begun, and many comics and action figures were released. By 1983 the actual animated series had been released. It might seem like the series is dead in everyway, but as hard to believe as it sounds, people still create material involving him like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ5LpwO-An4

Petrie (Lovin' The Name)

Petrie... Hands down, the most badbutt character in the show, he's small, scared of everything, complains a lot, can hardly fly, etc. I mean, who couldn't love such an amazing character. Petrie makes The Land Before Time the epic series that it is. If I could put "Acting Genius" in the dictionary, I would definitely put Petrie's picture in the definition.

Spike (Stegosaurus)

Spike was always one of my favourite characters in The Land Before Time, he is a stegosaurus and he has spikes and stuff... Yeah he's pretty cool. Every person in the world from my generation has probably seen or heard of The Land Before Time, and they know that show doesn't mess around, those dinosaurs know their stuff. Oh and he eats grass so he can keep track of his figure.
