I love Nintendo! It is in fact my favorite console. It takes me back to when I was a kid. The Super Nintendo was my baby! Yes, I know that these are old and that the Nintendo 3DS XL is going to be released in August, but I am not fond of how cheap the new colors and device looks. So I will settle for this XL.

This is one big and beautifully detailed Statue. It is one very expensive piece. If I were rich, I would totally buy this. I am a huge "The Legend of Zelda" fan girl!

I want to learn how to make these so bad! I think that these are sold way too over price considering that I know how much the materials to make this cost. I'm sure I can find a technique online and make them myself.

Like many people, one of the very first games I remember playing as a kid would have to be Tetris. I played it for hours! Now I can decorate my office with Tetris shaped sticky notes. Both awesome and functional.

I wanted this for my birthday and I never got it. I guess I'll buy it when I land a job. I love Game of Thrones. I have a huge list of all the things I want from the collection.

This is the most awesome light switch I have ever seen! I want it so bad for a Game Room.

Ubisoft E3 2012 Press Conference!

SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE ACTUAL CONFERENCE AND STILL PLAN ON SEEING IT, DO NOT READ THIS BLOG OR CLICK ON THE VIDEO LINKS, YET. IT MAY RUIN YOUR EXPERIENCE.

This is my review for the Ubisoft E3 2012 Press Conference. This is a list of the best games for me. Everyone has different taste so don’t get mad if your favorite game is not on my list. The video links posted will be of the video games I want to play. If the video links are not clickable, copy paste the URL. It should work that way.

First up, we had a performance by Flo Rida. This was yet another bad performance. The dancers were horrible! I don't know who picked them and who thought they were good enough to perform. After the performance I found out that Aisha Tyler would be our host. After pretty much greeting Flo Rida and then introducing herself, she introduced Tobuscus as her co-host. Now let's get on to the actual games.

Far Cry 3 -        http://youtu.be/q-gi9-aqp4g

Maybe it's just me, but I was sold pretty much as soon as I saw boobs! I am a straight female with no interest whatsoever in the same sex and I loved the beginning of this trailer. My first reaction was: "What the hell is this?". Then I realized that the sudden shock of boobs and then the bloody events that took place afterwards worked perfectly together. Had I only seen the boobs I would not want this game. By putting both boobs and blood together, I do. Once again, I need to say that first person shooters are not my thing but I want this one.

Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist -     http://youtu.be/wYGoFH6bWXg

This is yet another series I have never played before and I will have to buy all the games to fully understand the story. I loved every second of this trailer! I’m not a fan of military or military-like games. I always found them so boring. This did not seem boring at all. The gameplay left me in awe!

The Avengers: Battle for Earth -       http://youtu.be/97r-y4W_FGQ

I don't exactly know what this game is about. I'm guessing it's a 2 Fighter type game. Like Mortal Kombat. There was a part of this game that looked so real to me. That is the reason I was so intrigued by it.

Rayman: Legends -       http://youtu.be/80sFt4IDI5k

I don't know about you rebels, but I remember playing Rayman when I was a kid. Although I am a Hardcore Gamer, I never really played games when I was a kid because my brothers and sisters never really let me. When I did play games, I always found alternative endings and explored the game as if it were a magical world. I have always been a fan of the bright colors and scenery used in Rayman. This game looks like a game I would love to play when I'm cuddled up in a blanket on a cold winter day.

ZombiU -      http://youtu.be/q_ZxOKDNDQw

Once again I must say that I am not fond of first person shooter games. The Nintendo Wii U gamepad transforms what seems to be an already great zombie game into an awesome and even more thrilling zombie game! I love zombie games! I pretty much like all things horror. Even if they activate my paranoia and make it impossible for me to sleep at night.

Assassin's Creed III -        http://youtu.be/e-_5y3kilzs

I have never played this game but this looks so beautiful. The gameplay looks incredibly smooth. I will definitely be playing this game once I get the chance.

Watch Dogs -      http://youtu.be/0dTOnyp58NM

This is by far the most anticipated game for me. Out of all the Press Conferences, no game left me in awe like this one did. This is one of the smartest (if not the smartest) game I have ever seen! I will sell my kidney for this game! I can't even describe how I feel about it.  It's simply awesome! Whomever came up with this idea for a video game is purely genius. I may have had multiple orgasms while watching this trailer and gameplay.

I think Aisha Tyler was not a bad host. In my opinion, she was dragged down by Tobuscus. Tobuscus was dreadful. He was not funny at all and he made me cringe every time he would pop up on the screen.

After all is said and done, Ubisoft E3 2012 Press Conference was the third best Press Conference. Well, at least it was to me. Until the next post...

Nintendo E3 2012 Press Conference!

SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE ACTUAL CONFERENCE AND STILL PLAN ON SEEING IT, DO NOT READ THIS BLOG OR CLICK ON THE VIDEO LINKS, YET. IT MAY RUIN YOUR EXPERIENCE.

This is my review for the Nintendo E3 2012 Press Conference. This is a list of the best games for me. Everyone has different taste so don’t get mad if your favorite game is not on my list. The video links posted will be of the video games I want to play. If the video links are not clickable, copy paste the URL. It should work that way.

First off, I want the Nintendo Wii U! Scratch that, I NEED the Nintendo Wii U! When I first saw that you can use the new gamepad whenever someone else wants or needs to use the TV, I went batshit crazy. You will find this feature handy even if you live by yourself. Maybe you are going out and you need to see what the weather is going to be like for the rest of the day but you don't want to stop playing your game. Nintendo really brought a worthy game console. Nintendo has always been a game changer. Many may deny this to no end, but Nintendo has always been able to change the gaming world.

Many Sony fan boys and girls and ignorant people out there say that the PSP was the first handheld gaming device from a console. Anyone with half a brain can tell you that the Nintendo Game Boy was created over a decade before Sony even began to work on their first PSP. 

It's also like the new Nintendo gamepad. It was announced a year ago (give or take) and details of what it was capable of doing were released. Sony recently tried to copy paste the technology on their PSP Vita. From where I stand they didn't even come close to what the gamepad can do.

Now, let's talk about the actual games in the Press Conference. I am not going to give my thoughts on the games that were shown for 15 seconds or less. Those seconds are not enough to determine if a game looks good enough to buy or not.

Pikmin 3 -      http://youtu.be/eI87_YzSlIM

I have never played any of the Pikmin games. This game actually looks like one of the silly little games that I think deserves a chance at play.

New Super Mario Bros. U -      http://youtu.be/ez3o5pZb15c

Do I even have to say why I want this game? When I was a little girl my family gave us every single game console known to mankind. Nintendo was always my favorite one. I could play Mario, Donkey Kong Country and The Legend of Zelda games forever if my parents let me. I will definitely be purchasing this game... once I save up money for my Nintendo Wii U of course.

Scribblenauts Unlimited -      http://youtu.be/FcXuce1jsmI

I have always wanted to play Scribblenauts games. It's a great interactive game for both adults and kids. 

Wii Fit U -      http://youtu.be/zLWfy-Gc9Ok

Playing this game by yourself can be fun. Playing this game with your friends can be REALLY fun. If two people (or more) both had all the equipment necessary for this game they can make the most out of their experience. If you exercise your ass off and then compare the daily or weekly results with your enemy (your competition), that will motivate you to beat them every time and even lose weight in the process.

New Super Mario Bros. 2 (3DS) -      http://youtu.be/GEX1LfwiE0A

Let me start off by saying this game and New Super Mario Bros. U are not the same game. Obviously I want this game as well. These games always bring a smile to my face. I adore them very much.

Paper Mario Sticker Star (3DS) -      http://youtu.be/gq8jyzzKPEw

And yet another Mario game that I want! I have never played any Paper Mario games but I have always been interested in playing them.

Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (3DS) -      http://youtu.be/sm_mwNj06Uo

I love Luigi! The reason I really want this game is because he is the main character and because the game reminds me so much of Ghostbusters. I love silly little "horror" games.

Lego City Undercover -      http://youtu.be/7Q1dWQwGGvk

Legos are awesome! When I was a kid I enjoyed building crazy things with them. There is something about these little blocks that make me happy. So when Lego makes a dorky game, I am so going to get my hands on it.

Just Dance 4 -      http://youtu.be/Wumt7aF7P-4

I like dance games. Mostly because you can dance while learning a few good dance moves all while burning calories.

ZombiU -      http://youtu.be/-N6BG1s8w5g

Once again I must say that I am not fond of first person shooter games. The Nintendo Wii U gamepad transforms what seems to be an already great zombie game into an awesome and even more thrilling zombie game! I love zombie games! I pretty much like all things horror. Even if they activate my paranoia and make it impossible for me to sleep at night.

Nintendo Land -      http://youtu.be/SM7DI9tVeL0

Nintendo Land contains 12 mini games including The Legend of Zelda: Battle Quest. If a game has anything from The Legend of Zelda, you bet your bottom dollar that I will be splurging on it. 

At the end of the day the Nintendo E3 2012 Press Conference was the second best Press Conference of all. Bringing out the long anticipated Nintendo Wii U game console and then showing everything that it could do was enough to put it in the #2 spot easily. Showing a great lineup of games gives it a well deserved second place. Although I think it deserves to be in first place alongside Xbox.

That is all for now. I hope you enjoyed my opinions. Until next time.

Microsoft/Xbox E3 2012 Press Conference

SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE ACTUAL CONFERENCE AND STILL PLAN ON SEEING IT, DO NOT READ THIS BLOG OR CLICK ON THE VIDEO LINKS, YET. IT MAY RUIN YOUR EXPERIENCE.

This is my review for the Microsoft E3 2012 Press Conference. This is a list of the best games for me. Everyone has different taste so don't get mad if your favorite game is not on my list. The video links posted will be of the video games I want to play. If the video links are not clickable, copy paste the URL. It should work that way.

Halo 4 -   http://youtu.be/5N-CRrP9xjQ

I have vowed to never like this game franchise. When I saw the trailer in the Microsoft E3 Press Conference... my vow was instantly broken. I rarely play first person shooter games due to the fact that I get massive headaches and horrid nausea. This seems like one of the rare games that are worth a massive headache and horrid nausea. The only downside to this is that I will have to play every single Halo game so I can learn and fully understand the story.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist -    http://youtu.be/209bJyDvUOs

This is yet another series I have never played before and I will have to buy all the games to fully understand the story. I loved every second of this trailer! I'm not a fan of military or military-like games. I always found them so boring. This did not seem boring at all. The gameplay left me in awe!

Gears of War: Judgement -    http://youtu.be/jF_Q9R4q164 

I have never played any of the Gears of War games but I have had my eyes on these game ever since the very first one was released.

Nike + Kinect -     http://youtu.be/mTvfSw6-R_M

This workout is for those of us who have struggled with our weight at some point or another in our lives. It's for those of us who are still struggling with our weight. And it's for those of us who just want to get fit. When I lost weight I only did it because I had huge mirrors in my room and seeing myself exercise motivated me to keep on going. When I moved and no longer had those mirrors, I lost all interest in exercising.  Seeing yourself workout will motivate you. This is the perfect substitute for my mirrors.

Tomb Raider -    http://youtu.be/NFhLS7DmLlc

I truly love the Tomb Raider series. Ever since the first block-like Tomb Raider for the PlayStation One, I knew I would always love it. They always manage to pull me into the game.

Ascend: New Gods -     http://youtu.be/BgBr6iYgWTw

I don't really have anything to say about this game that's not: "It reminds me of God of War". If this game has an ounce of Greek Mythology, I will buy every game by this name. I LOVE Greek Mythology!

Resident Evil 6 -     http://youtu.be/BgBr6iYgWTw

I LOVE Resident Evil! I have not played every single Resident Evil game so I would have to play them all in order after I buy the ones I am missing (when I get the extra money). When the actual gameplay leaves you breathless, you know it's going to be awesome! Also, was I the only one that panicked and felt completely claustrophobic when they ended up surrounded by zombies?

Dance Central 3 -         http://youtu.be/1SAKcGA71g4

I love all music from the 1920's - 1999! So when I heard an "oldie" I obviously got super excited. I will enjoy this game so effin' much! I am not the best dancer in the world but I learn very quickly. This looks like a great "workout game" or a great "fun with friends game".

Onto Usher's performance. I know he was trying to show of his dance moves that he created or helped create for the game, but he did a terrible singing job. I don't even think the choreography of that song was good. I expected a lot more than what he did. 

Even though I am a Nintendo, PlayStation and then Xbox 360 lover, Microsoft had the best E3 Press Conference of 2012. I love the talking demands that the Xbox has pretty much mastered by now. That is something that will come in handy for a girl like me who seems to always misplace the remote.

The first blog will be posted in about 2 hours after this blog is posted. I hope you enjoy them. The first up is the Microsoft E3 2012 Press Conference.

Hardcore Gamers

Let me tell you what a TRUE Hardcore Gamer is...

Many have the wrong idea when they think of the term "Hardcore Gamer". A Hardcore Gamer is someone who can play the same exact game for a very long time. Someone who can take up to a year to pass one game.

Why, you ask? Because a Hardcore Gamer explores the game to it's fullest. They search for things hidden in the game that you can only find by exploring or cheating.

That's another thing. A Hardcore Gamer NEVER cheats. That includes finding codes online to make the gameplay easier on them. Example: X, up, left, square, etc. Cheating also includes having a strategy guide to tell you where all the good weapons or items are. 

A Hardcore Gamer plays ANY kind of game. They may have their favorite video game genre, but they enjoy most, if not all games. This includes silly little games on a console called Nintendo. Many think that if you play Nintendo games you are not a Hardcore Gamer. This is untrue. Last time I checked, Nintendo is a Game Console too!

Now, let me tell you what a Hardcore Gamer is not. A Hardcore Gamer is not or does not:

1. Finish a game in 24 hours just to brag about it to their friends. This is what you would call a Cocky Gamer. This is the worse kind of Gamer. They will do anything (especially cheat) to win.

2. Spoil the fun for other Gamers by telling them where everything is. If you are a Hardcore Gamer you know how awesome things can be when you experience everything without the constant "Go here" or "You're missing something over there. Go back". Once again, this is a Cocky Gamer.

3. Only play first person shooter games. Somehow some guy with a two inch penis got this idea stuck into his head and spread the word to other members of the Small Penis Club.

4. An aggressive Gamer. Yes, it's okay to get mad, yell, curse, and even cry when frustration gets to the best of you. But to throw things and break things? That is what you call a temper tantrum. Grow up!

This is all I can think of for now. I'll make a second part when I figure out what else I'm missing on this list. I know there were a lot more things but I got caught up in something else and I didn't get the chance to write them down. Until next time!

Stolen Games

SEGA Saturn

This is what my SEGA Saturn looks like. It actually has a few bad and ugly scratches. This is the first and only console I have ever owned. All other consoles belonged to all of my brothers and sisters and me. Until they started pulling, pushing and throwing them around like they were nothing. At that point, I saved them from the trash. I have no idea if my SEGA Saturn still works. What I do know is... I have no games to play in it.

Let me tell you a little story. One day, I was moving from my old house to what would be my "new" house. I move every 1-2 years. As I was packing I saw my SEGA Saturn games (there were about 10-16 games). I looked at my games and I thought: "I love these games but chances are I'll never get to play them again". So I ended up throwing them in the trash in the 20 slot CD case they were in. As soon as I did, I regretted it. I turned back and I picked them from out of the trash (that pretty much only had paper filled with my 8th grade amateur poetry). I had realized how much I loved that console and those games. I ended up packing them away in a container that snaps shut. I kept packing the entire house with my mother and sister as my brothers and father finished putting a few stuff in the car to take to the new house. When they came back, all they had to do was take us girls to the new house and then go back to the old house to collect the last few items (which my container was part of). It all fit in one last car ride. 

We were in the new house and waiting for the male members of the family to arrive. Upon arrival, one of the first things that was said to me was that my youngest brother dropped my plastic container and the items inside the container spilled all over the sidewalk. I went to check it to see if all items were still there. They didn't let me because we took longer then expected and we had to set up the beds because it was already nightfall. They assured me that they picked everything up and that if something was left behind it was very small. Too small for them to see in the dark. 

The following day I checked my container. SURPRISE, My games weren't there! The CD case they were in was not small! I got incredibly mad because after I realized how much I loved those games they were "lost". The reason I say they were "lost" is because the youngest of my brothers has very sticky fingers. He envied that my father gave me that console and the games from the start. I knew immediately that the games were not lost. They were stolen by him. And I know he either threw them away, gave them away, or sold them (like he does with everything else that isn't his). 

If you ask yourself: "How can she say such bad things about her family?", you don't know my family. My family should be the "poster family" for dysfuntional families. There are two very bad seeds in my family. My oldest sister, and the younger one of my brothers. They are both willing to do anything to be better than everyone else. They will do anything to wave their money in your face. They will say anything to make you look like you are nothing. Since childhood, they have always plotted selfish actions that benefit them and hurt everyone else. Trust me, you wouldn't like them either.

Thieves and Inconsiderate People

I was thinking this morning about all the games I use to have for the NES and Super Nintendo. I love those consoles. I can play on every modern console but some days I want to go completely retro.

Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)

Super Nintendo

My brothers and sisters and I, all owned the games. My oldest sister was a complete idiot and inconsiderate cunt who would hide and secretly give games to her friends. Needless to say, we never saw any of those games again. The youngest of my two brothers is like my older sister... but worse! He would hide and secretly give and sell our games to his friends. We had anywhere from 54 to 72 NES games. 5 years after they started giving and selling games to their friends we ended up with about 20 NES games. Now, we have 0 because my father decided to give some away and throw the rest out even though I tried and fought to keep them. We didn't have a lot of Super Nintendo games. We had about 22. Again, my youngest brother and older sister gave and sold the games to their friends and we never saw them again. We ended up with 10. I took those 10 and hid them so no one could touch them. I have always been the "old school" gaming addict. I managed to hide and save the consoles and one "Duck Hunt" gun, but not the cables or remotes.

Years later this still pisses me off. How can you give or sell something that is not completely yours to someone else? This is the reason I have never been able to get along with them. They think everything is their's to take. For as long as I remember, they have been selfish and money hungry.

One of the best games in the world! Playing this (just like every other Nintendo game) takes me back to truly happy times. It always puts a smile on my face. I only played this game in second player mode because I was crazy about Dixie Kong's red/burgundy,pink hair. And I always wanted to eat a double cheese sandwich every time I was in Rambi Rumble because the honey looked like melted cheese to me.

Video Games

I do not have the money to buy video games at the moment. But when I do get the money, I will post things that have to do with gaming. 

I plan on making videos to go with it. I'm not sure how that will work out because I don't have the most interesting voice in the world. I think it's safe to assume that we are more intrigued by people doing commentary in their gaming videos the just seeing them play the game. It makes me feel more connected to the person playing the game when there's commentary. That's what I plan on doing in the future. Along with a few secrets that I will not be telling at this time.
