Why We Love Video Games The reason why we love games.... Video games allow us to become someone else.... While allowing us to become something outside of our normal life...... That is the beautiful part of gaming.  It's hard to find those games that can appeal to the nostalgia personality in me.  But thankfully, I have found a few titles that seem to give me that feeling, even as an older gamer.  Assassin's Creed Titles That I Love  Yes, I became a fan of Assassin's Creed because of these titles.  Mainly because these titles give me the feel of those old Nintendo, Genesis type of view perspectives.  Check out the trailer below from the Ubisoft YouTube Channel . If you are unfamiliar with these titles, there are three in the series that are called the Assassin's Creed Chronicles.  These games are based in China, India, and Russia.  Not to go into the history of the Assassin's Creed franchis...

Kobe Bryant, We Will Always Remember.... Kobe Bryant..... The Lakers Legend, one of the greatest of all-time, and creative genius who was budding into his own star off the court after his NBA career.....  He was taken from us too soon due to a helicopter crash.  Memories of Kobe Bryant.... But he did have a great legacy that has seemed to only grow in his passing.  We also remember the families of the other and the other victims that we lost in the tragedy.  Also, the Bryant family mourns the loss of Kobe's daughter Gianna, who was a budding star in her own right.  The Basketball World Remembers You, Mamba.... Even as basketball fans and his contemporaries on the court hurt, we do have the fondest of Kobe Bryant .  It's amazing how this tragic event has seemed to bring so many together which is what he would have wanted.  His legacy was growing from extreme competitor and NBA Champion to amazing father, ...

The Yada Yada One Of My Favorite Shows Of Seinfeld Yadda Yadda Yadda , I'm really tired today... LOL One of the funniest episodes in my opinion of Seinfeld, the show about nothing.  Just to give you a small briefing on what the show is about: The show revolves around the life of comedian Jerry Seinfeld as he and his friends, George, Elaine, and Kramer navigate through relationships and life situations.  If you have NEVER watched Seinfeld, click HERE to get a special offer.  And it seems that this show has many classic moments.  But one of my favorite (they are all my favorite, but for the sake of this post...) is the Yada Yada episode.  Here is a clip of "The Yada Yada" from the TBS YouTube Channel " Seinfeld " was successful for many reasons but among those is the hilarity it made out of the smallest subjects like a catch phrase.  That is what made the show work so well.  So, do YOU...

The Kind Of TV I Grew Up On Simpler times with simpler morals. We all enjoyed shows and movies with the family back in the day. And we have an emotional attachment to the shows that helped us grow and that remind of the days that felt good to us.  I am a little partial to the shows that I grew up with. But I don't want to be the person that says that there are no good television shows out today.  Yet, in all honesty, I feel like the quality of TV is not what it was.  That can be due to: Streaming options like Netflix or Hulu.... Or the overall morality decline as a whole.... The breakdown of the family unit... Or television networks only centering around a specific type of content.  Without getting too deep, I want to share with you the type of television shows that I grew up with and love to this very day.  The Television Shows I Grew Up With AND Still Love Today! So, here are a few of the shows that I still lo...

Who Is Your Favorite Joker? The Joker The Joker is the quintessential antagonist in the Batman series.  Hilarious but devious.... Charming but conceited.  Such a character is the perfect person that happens to match the dark nature of the Dark Night.  You can say that The Joker has had a bit of a renaissance with the "Joker" movie that came out late last year.  Other portrayals of the Joker The movie has seen its share of success and it is fair to say that this is one of Phoenix's best performances ever.  But, is his portrayal of "The Joker" your favorite? But "The Joker" I know that the movie has less to do with the commonly know villain of the Batman series and more to do with the character of the Joker himself.  But in the essence of the post, who do you like more.  The Joker Films On The Big Screen Let me know in the comments and the choices are.... Jack Nicholson - Batman (1989) ...

NINTENDO IS STILL THE G.O.A.T Whether you are talking about retro, next gen, or current generation consoles, the Nintendo Entertainment System is still the greatest system of them all.  The console sold nearly 30 million units by the end of 1991 and has managed to be brought back to relevance due to the rise of retro gaming.  With over 700 licensed games, its hard to pick a favorite out of the list.  I haven't played all of the licensed titles but I don't think any game I would play would change my mind about what my favorite game is.  So, here it is.  My Favorite Nintendo Game Of All Time IS......... That is the Legend Of Zelda .  If it's about puzzles, you can see it in this game.  You will have to think this game out.  I happened to play LOZ during a time when you couldn't go on Google or YouTube for a walk-through.  It took grinding it out and learning the hard way.  But ...

Best Video Game Of All Time But I Have NEVER Played It? Growing Up With Gaming Gaming has been a big part of my life ever since I could remember.  I was in love with the Nintendo when it first came out and I have been an avid gamer since that point.  But, I have sinned ......(With reference to gaming) There is one thing, one mountain that I haven't climbed or conquered.  And here it is.  I Have NEVER Played Super Mario 64! Yes, it's the truth.  And I am not proud of it, at all.  But thank God for YouTube that allows me to see what I have been missing.  So, I have been frantically searching for videos that will give me the satisfaction that I desire.  But the only thing is to do it.  Here is a YouTube video featuring a random of Super Mario 64 ! Thanks to AlexSMRD for the video content.  What About You? Have you played Super Mario 64 ? What are ...
