Many of us gamers have fond memories starting a game. We all have our own story, kind of like a super hero origin story. Mines started with Nintendo and Super Mario Brothers.
I remember going to my aunts apartment with my mom. My cousin always had great stuff, and I didn't really care until I seen my first gaming system. The Nintendo Entertainment System, and the game he was playing was Super Mario Brothers. Back then it was the cartridge with the Duck Hunt game with it. I asked him to play but being the youngest I had to wait my turn, but just watching him play gave me a feeling of wow. When he finally gave me the controller, I didn't even know how to hold it. My cousin showed me, and I felt I was ready. With great disappointment as fast as I started the game I died from my first Goomba. Something happened to me that day that could only be explained as life changing! A fire boiled in my stomach, and I became angry. Angry at the game because I fail. I had 2 choices, either give up this stupid game thing that wasn't cooler then transformer toys, or pick up that controller and destroy that Goomba, and every Goomba after that! Later on the list to follow as my victims by controller:
King Koopa
Ganondorf
All of Dr. Wily Robots
Gyaba
and multiple former best friends due to super smash brother, Golden Eye and Perfect Dark... This is my origin story, and I want to thank Satoru Iwata. Thank you for giving us our Origin Story as a gamer.
Over the last couple of weeks, DC comics
have been making big waves in the entertainment industry.
In the video game world, DC has given
fans a chance to become The Batman. The latest next generation console game Batman: Arkham Knight had fans stunned
in amazement at the 2015 E3 convention. The game received some of the highest
ratings in the gaming community. The last Batman titled game didn’t receive
nearly enough praise as Batman: ArkhamKnight. Breaking ground in the gaming world for future DC titles to follow.
Now, 3 days ago at the world famous Comic Con held in San Diego, CA. DC
reinvents itself through film. A second trailer has premiered for the long
awaited movie Batman vs. Superman. As
well as the greatly anticipated return of the Joker in Suicide Squad. The 2 movie trailers set the standard for this years
Comic Con.
The reason for the anticipation is simply,
the films to come. Marvel studios have created a type of formula to creating
exciting movies. Re-create a fan base for a old fan favorites, and stretch the
boundaries of the fictional universe by adding characters from the comic book
universe. It looks like DC comics have done the same. With all fresh faces as
well as top of the line special effects, we can expect a rival to Marvel
Studios onslaught of star power in the box office.
This is a complete 360 degree turn for DC
Comics. Fans saw DC as a success in the television ring with shows like Flash and Arrow, but their movies had been heavy criticized due to failures
in the past and movies that felt like they were rushed. With the help of Comic
Con, DC has set the bar high and it appears they will be holding on to the
prime time comic spot for a long time.
