Charmanders are red.
Squirtles are blue.
If you were a Pokemon, I'd choose you.

PS-Bore
The PS4 feels like a pretty solid disappointment for me. It's just a simple upgrade from the PS3. It's not breaking any new ground. It's not doing anything amazing. It's just Sony giving people the same thing over again but in a different shaped box with upgraded internals. At least Microsoft is trying something with the Xbox One. They're taking a risk, trying something new and inventive. Microsoft isn't willing to rest on their laurels like Sony is and just give gamers the same recycled gaming experience for another 6-7 years. Sony got lazy this round, and it shows. Technology needs to advance, not give us the same thing over and over again. I wish Sony would have put some more thought into their new console. Instead it's just boring.
The most relevant video to my life
The first time you play with someone who doesn't know what they're doing in a fighting game, it always goes down a little like this: there is a lot of pausing. Lots of checking movelists. Lots of negotiating returning hits to keep it balanced because they initially got hurt when they weren't ready. And lots of answering questions about what the most powerful move is. Really, the only thing that's missing from this video is having the newbie player repeat the same move over and over again, because its easy or you're just not good enough to deal with someone only doing upper punch repeatedly. Granted, of course all of happens! Why wouldn't the other person want to learn how to play the game? It's still kind of funny to poke fun at, though.
I'm not revolting against this by any means
One of my favorite Youtube artists, doing a truly (*sunglasses*) revolutionary cover of an already awesome song.
Everything is Beautiful...except Connie.
This isn't the first Attack on Titan cosplay video I've posted and God willing it won't be the last. Connie's hair though. Not sure what they were thinking.
A Light Christmas...
This was the first year I didn't ask for video games for Christmas...sad feeling. Not sure what to feel about this. I hope it isn't a sign.
A Virtual Slam Dunk
By Andrew Leif
“NBA 2K14,” which I play on Xbox 360, is the best basketball video game I’ve ever played. This year’s version is the most realistic basketball gaming experience in the series’ history. Last year while playing, my mother asked me if I was watching a real game, so I can’t even imagine what her reaction will be when she sees me playing this year’s edition. Every player looks identical to how they look in real life. They also play with the same specific motions and have the same celebrations that they perform in real life, which makes the game even more realistic. The “My Player” game mode is essentially identical to how it’s been the last two years. Next year there definitely needs to be an addition to this game mode. It’s fun at first, but as you keep playing it, it gets repetitive and boring. While the visuals of the game are incredible, it still possess some flaws. Players still stand out of bounds when the ball is being passed to them, which is completely unrealistic. There are far too many kick ball and goaltending violations in the video game, compared to an actual NBA game. The announcing team of Kevin Harlan, Steve Kerr and Clark Kellogg, with Doris Burke as the sideline reporter, continues to be solid. The only question I have, which I’ve had for the past few years is, why is Kellogg an announcer for this game? He’s a college basketball announcer and now since Gregg Anthony has replaced him, he’s just a studio analyst. I know it’s not really a big deal, but as an avid basketball fan, it just bothers me. The new game mode this year, “Path to Greatness featuring LeBron James,” allows you to control James’ future and either re-sign with the Heat and continue to build a dynasty or have him leave Miami and try to build a legacy elsewhere. This was a brilliant idea on the part of the 2k14 developers because James is playing at an all-time great level and this game mode will only make people more intrigued about what he decides to do with his future this summer. The soundtrack of this game definitely attracts a larger audience, with a more Top 40 radio-feel as opposed to last year when the game was produced by Jay-Z and featured mostly classic rap songs. I like this year’s soundtrack just as much just because I’m weird and enjoy the popular music. Overall, NBA 2K14 is a lot of fun to play and should be purchased by every basketball fan.
