NINTENDO THEMED SHASTA SODA

    In the late 80's and early 90's in the mist of the the NES's success, Nintendo did a lot of different things to promote and advertise there video games and characters. One of the ways the did that is by teaming up with the soda making company called Shasta. They came up with four different flavors in 8 oz cans that featured four different characters from the Mario Brothers universe. You could also have a chance to win Nintendo prizes from the cans.They were out for a limited time, but very much missed by fans that grew up with the original Nintendo.

MY VIDEO GAMES OF 2012

   Last year I did a list for my video games of 2011, and now with 2012 done and over with, I had to do another list. In 2012 I did not get as many games as I did in the previous year, but still got a pretty good amount. Between there not being to many games that came out that I wanted and the fact that money was really tight last year, I got pretty much what I wanted. If you want to read my 2011 list before this one, here is a link to that post- MY VIDEO GAMES OF 2011 

   Two of my favorite franchises came out with games last year, Silent Hill: Downpour and Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City. Both game were really good. While Downpour was not your normal Silent Hill game, well at least to me anyways, it was still a really good game. Still had some great scares and a good twist at the end. I did think that monsters where not your typical Silent Hill monsters. But I was told that the monsters in Downpour where suppose to be based on the main characters feelings. That would explain what was called "The Void" in other world. 

REGULAR SHOW EPISODE VIDEO GAME WIZARD

   Episode 19 of season 3 of the cartoon Regular Show is entitled Video Game Wizard. In this episode the two main characters Mordecai and Rigby enter a video game tournament called the Game Inferno Tournament. This episode is based off the movie The Wizard that came out in 1989 starring Fred Savage. The title alone gives it away as a reference to the movie. 

   After playing video games and Rigby playing so bad that Mordecai wanted to watch TV, they see a commercial for the Game Inferno Tournament. As they show the prize, the Maximum Glove, Rigby is all excited to enter the tournament with his best friend. That excitement is short lived when he finds out that Mordecai had already signed up for the tournament with there other friend Skips. Rigby from then on would try to get Mordecai to change his mind and pick him. 

MY VIDEO GAME WTF MOMENTS PART I

   One thing we all know when playing video games is that we all have that "What The Fuck" moment. It's going to happen, whether it comes from a ending you did not see coming, a favorite or main characters death, or just maybe a good scary that made you say "What The Fuck"! I thought I would give a few of mine that are not in any order. I will have this as a continuous post, cause there are so many WTF moments in my personal gaming past and future that made me want to write a series of blog post. If I can find videos that show what I am talking about I will put them up.This post does contain spoilers for the games. If your planning on playing the game, you have been warned.

TODAY IS THE DAY.....

      So my wife is starting school today and I thought it would be nice to write her a little something on her Facebook wall. I know I am not no poet, but thought a little message would be nice. The comments I got after where all funny from friends and family. Guess they did not know that I (The one they call a verbal abuser) can get sensitive if I wanted to!! Well here is what I wrote this morning.

To Crystal-

Today is the day you start school!

Today is the day things get a little harder!

Today is the day you will find out what your made of!

Today is the day that you start to change your life!

Today is the day both our lives start to change!

Today is the day I am so proud of you!

But just like everyday, today is the day that I love you!

Have a great day at your first day of school, you know I'm behind you!
