I know what you might be saying, "This is all going to be some stupid Let's Play Youtubers!" That's where you are wrong. Some of them will be and most of them won't. A lot of them are involved with video games and such as that, but trust me, they are just awesome people and great Youtubers all together. Now, know that this is all but an opinion. If you believe this didn't deserve #1 or and where in the list, it's your opinion and this is mine. Hope you enjoy.

10. Harry101UK (Harry Calleghan)

If you like small parodies of famous songs and Nightmare Before Christmas songs, this guy can give you that! He is a Portal geek and most of what he does is nothing, but that. Plus did you like Portals: Mel? Well, he did some of the voices and music for it. He also helped with the animations. He also does a lot of SFM's. If you don't know what that is, it's animations that use the Source Film software. He had a winning Saxxy's Awards video called Mirco-Man.

9. MangaMinx

If you like a lot of funny Gmod adventures and Prop Hunts, well, that's not all she does, she's the girl that's for you. No. Not like that. She likes to play some AAA titles like Until Dawn or Life is Strange, or just play some dating sims just to get a weird laugh. Sometimes she'll even play some games with her wife! And if you don't like the to watch people play games, she'll just make you laugh with that toxic laugh she has.

If you liked her better than Harry, her's he channel...

8. Piemations

Well, funny name, right? He is a one man animator that makes the most hilarious TF2 animations. His older animations are a bit crude, but you got to give it to the kid, he was only a small teen when he did it...

If you don't like TF2 or animations, then check his other channel where he makes fun of Let's Plays while doing a Let's Play and doing a reaction video on him reacting to him reacting to him reacting to him reacting to Meat the Amazing Soldier. God, that was a mouth full! Anyways, he just a funny guy in general.

If you're convinced on my statement, check him out!

7. Cryaotic

If you like a guy with a very sexy and serious voice, he's the guy for you. Again, not like that. He is a Let's Player that just has the most serious voice that can make a lot of men sound like a girl. Like most of Let's Players, he likes to raise money for the ill and needed and help those in need. And if money doesn't help, he's toxic laughter can help you, too in the hardest of times.

If you think he's the guy you want to laugh with, here's his link...

6. PhantomStride8

If you like Top 10's, then he's the guy you can debate with. I know, he's a Top 10 lister and I put him in a Top 10 list, but he's kind of the reason why I do Top 10's. He has such a good point on his reason why he put it on that number and why it's on his list. I suggest you guys watch him, or if you ever come across him, I suggest you give him a watch.

If want to watch him now, here's the link...

5. LEMMiNO

If you said you liked Top 10's, this guy is your pick. Again, another Top 10 lister, but he doesn't call it "Top 10," he calls it 10 Facts. If you want to know some crazy things about Skyrim...

Or maybe even TF2, if you're new to it...

...Then he's the Swedish guy for you. And I know what you might be thinking, "Why is he better than PhantomStrider8?" That's because he is well organized and looks into a lot of games and facts about life. I mean did you know, you can get nothing done at Valve and still be a valued employee? No wonder Half-Life 3 hasn't come out!

4. JackSepticEye

He's a screaming Irish guy that says SPEED IS KEY and loves balls. Don't take the balls part too literal. If you haven't at least heard of him, he's just the most hilarious and heartwarming guy you can laugh at! He's just a cool guy. Before he got to where he is, he won one of Pewdiepie's Shout outs and got famous! He doesn't like to be called that, but at least he is where he is.

If you just want to see an Irish guys screaming at his computer, here;s his channel...

3. HotDiggityDemon

Don't take his looks out of context, he's just a funny animator. That's all he is. And a voice actor in his animations, and a good one at that! If you just want the funniest parodies of Nintendo's best of the best games like Mario...

Or even Animal Crossing...

He can make you crack up if you get the references. And trust me, they are funny! And he also had Markipier voice a character in one of his animations. Can you find out who he is? Because it was hard to find for me.

2. MiracleOfSound

If you like another Irish guy that doesn't just scream his lungs out, but sings it out, his channel is the one that'll fill your dreams. He makes songs that advertise games like Arkham Knight, Skyrim, and more! He also makes songs that are inspired by Mad Max or Guardians of the Galaxy, or even Game of Thrones. (One of his Game of Thrones songs got to one of the actors and he gave his respect to him and the rest of the crew thanked him for the song)

I would suggest you guys give a check because he is just a musician that can give you a chill down your spine. His songs even gave me inspiration to write The Invaders! He has brought me out Writer's Blocks, Character Crashes, and even helped me write more stories!

If are in a writers block and love rock or classical music, here's his link...

1. Markiplier

I know what you might be thinking, "This guy is overrated," but her me out. He's not just a wacky Let's Player, but a heartwarming guy. A guy that is just a some to love! When he's down, you just want to hug him. I mean look at this!

Not look at that face and not want to hug out his feelings! He is just a reflecter. A guy that can make you feel sad when he's sad or happy when he's happy! He is just a kind guy, too. He is a charitable man. He wants to help this world instead of just live in it. I know many of you (or not) know this guy and already subscribed to him, but to those that haven't checked him out, give him a look. I know he'll make you smile Even if he made you cry from his thoughtful words.

Here's his channel, and may Tiny Box Tim warm your heart...

Did you like my list? If you saw any Youtubers that you thought should have been on here, tell me so I can check them out! I would love to see what is out there on Youtube.But hey! This is just a small opinion, so don't start raging in the comments. It'll just be a game of debate...

'Til next time...

Play more games!

The boy is resisting...
We can't have that...
Let's watch the mayhem build.

***

Sweat and blood hit the air, the boy is reluctant to perfect his martial art. The ring is empty. After hours. The only time that determined recruits would be around the Dojo. The sounds of patting echo in the room.

"Come on, you can hit harder!" Haelen suggests as the boy throws punches and kicks at her. Exhausted, the boy still tries to hit her as hard as he can. Shey is watching in the distance, smiling at the show.

"I'm. Hitting! As. Hard! As I. Can!" the boy said as he was stunned by Haelen. Xavier was planted to the ground, still having the power to get up, the boy still is trying to fight.

"You're too vulnerable, Xavier. You need to practice on your guard," Haelen takes off her combat gloves. Shey gets up and walks to the boy quietly. She gets her gloves out and readies her arms.

"I'll teach ya, Xavier," Shey winks at Haelen and smiles.

"Okay... No cheap shots, okay?" the boy puts up his guard.

"Can't make a promise..." Shey says as she readies her fists. The dream fades as Xavier remembers about his mission. The light glimmers in the room. An uneasy feeling surges in Xavier's mind as he rushes through the corridors, in a hurry to find Psycho's location.

A rumble echos through the halls. It turns into a thump. A repeating pattern. As if someone was walking. "Freeze! Oh... It's you, Silas."

"It is."

"Why are you here? I thought you were taken with the rest of the team."

"He only has Jell, Tel, Night Crawler. Roman and Gavin are still in the ship."

"Well, can you help me find them? It'd be great to have an extra hand."

"I do not like working with meatbags," the blue droid stares at Xavier as he tries to think of a way to persuade the droid. Xavier stares at his mechanical hand and has a hunch.

"Hey! I'm not all meatbag. Look! My hand is robotic like yours!" The droid looks at Xavier's hand and stares at his. "See? Not that much different."

"Where do you need me to go?"the droid's eyes turn from red to blue.

"Okay, I need you to find Roman and Gavin. I want you to protect me as I follow you do that. If anyone tries to kill us, attack them."

"Okay."

"Good! Now, let me on your back."

"That is not happening."

"Why?"

"You are heavy."

"And you're 3 tons of metal, I think you can hold me!" the droids eyes turned to orange next.

"Fine," the droids eyes turned green. Xavier notices this. It wasn't a concern at the moment.

***

The room is filled with terror, heavy with death and blood. Jell is tied to the wall with chains, hanging due to the height of the chains. Night Crawler's helm was cracked and dented on the forehead. She was unconscious.

"What are thinking to accomplish here, Nicolas? The crystal will just kill you along with whatever planet you;re on!" Psycho's eyes glared at her.

"Do not call me that..." he grabs his knife and slides the tip across Jell's face. "You know, I'm not the one with the crystal. Your friend, on the other hand, has it." A figure appears out of the corner. Jell is shocked to see who and what it is.

"Zackary!?" Jell's voice fades into her fear. Zackary's eyes were pure red and his mouth was covered with a metal plate. He was a new threat. Jell could see it. His soul was stolen by the crystal.

"Zackary is gone. He's no longer apart of that sh*tty federation. He is nothing but a husk now. What's the best part is that he works for me! Can you believe that? It's like the crystal likes me!" Night Crawler begins to wake.

"Ooh! Just in time, darling!" he grabs her and releases her from the chains.

"What are doing!? Don't you hurt her!" a pistol was put to her Night Crawler's head.

"Oh, you forgot it's opposite day!" he pulls the trigger and out comes a click.

"You sick f*cker"

"Come on! You have to say that was funny! Okay, Blood Seekers!" two red cloaked women walked into the room."Carry this darling to the another cell. Oh and make sure you cuff her. She's almost conscious. And after you're done, hunt down that intruder. He will be easy to find."

Gaze upon the trails of death of which the Talo Raiders lead. They roam the lands of New America to claim their bounties. They not find a simple bounty, but a bounty that has been placed for years. People fear this man. Children flee to their homes when his name is said. Adults cower hearing his tales. He has many names to be called from: the Soul Reaper, Wanderer of Shadows, but one that most fits him is the Claimer.

He has never been seen nor has his face ever been looked upon. All that is known of him is his infamous wrist blade, the Visor Blade. A blade of light and great power. None can control such a powerful weapon, those who can are put to death by the Talo Raiders. 

They find his bounty both pleasing and fearing, but none can shed fear into the eyes of the clan owned by their leader, Terron Talo. Sent as mercenaries, he leaves his best and largest man to lead them to this feared killer. 

"We ride boys!" the largest of the group calls our for his men. "We find this bounty head and we slaughter him like a pig!"

The entire group shouts in inspiration. They believe they can take down the Claimer?

They roam the New American lands and find nothing. All  said locations were looked through and left in shambles. The rest after sunset. The camp inside a mountain shaded valley, and set their fires. One short soldier looks into the dark distance and sees a small figure. Before he could report it, the figure disappears.

"It was probably your eyes keeping you a fool. Now go to sleep!" the soldier is sent to his floor rags. All of them in a deep sleep. 

A sudden scream bursts into the night. It was muffled, as if some one covered the mouth. "What in God's name was that hell!?" 

"Probably one of Xan's night terrors again," they search for the tents and floor rags around the camp. None of which were disturbed. "Who the hell screamed!?"

"Sure as hell wasn't around the captain's tent." 

"It better not have been, " they check if the captain was disturbed. He was obviously awake. The lantern fires were still lit in the tent with the captain waiting outside the tent for the others to find the screamer. 

"Where is this man?! I need to know who shall I punish for screaming in the worst of time!" another large scream enters the their ears. 

"What in God's name will I do with these people!?" the leader enters his tent and puts his armor on as the soldiers search the area. THe soldiers are shocked to find a one of their blade planted in one of their own's chest. 

"Who is behind this massacre?" 

"We have to find whoever did this!'

"No f*cking sh*t, Doofus!" another scream enters their ears. Before they could react, an arrow pierces one soldier's head. "Get your swords out, boys!"

They surge into the camp and try to find the assassin. "He's taking out the marksmen!" 

"Where is he!?" 

"Never mind that! Keep your head down!" the swordsmen are left with no long-ranged protection. 

"I came for the bounty of your leader," a voice in the darkness calls out. "Rock is what he is called. I want his head. I will spare those who heed my instructions: do not attack me, and I shall not attack you."

"If you listen to him you're dead!" before he could go into a speech, a bolt was lodged in his skull. 

"Leave that as an example of what might I do" 

"What shall we do?"

"We'll listen to him for now. We'll have to let the captain take care of this," the assassin revealed himself: a hooded mask of dread, dresses in cloaks and iron plates on his chest and legs. "Do you think that's him?" 

"The wrist shows it off," he looks at his wrist. "A mechanical machine," he thought. "Is that the legendary Visor Sword?"

"Come out, Rock!" he cried. "I am your bounty. Don't you want to claim the glory of killing the Legendary Claimer?" the soldier are surprised by the sight of who the legendary Soul Reaper was. 

Soldiers mumble about him. It echos through out the camp.

"I thought he would be bigger"

"The stories were true!"

"What is he wearing?"

Soon enough, the mirmir stopped to see the fight that will be endured. 

"You of all people. I have to fight a small soul while my men are afraid to even fight! Worthless men. I keep telling Talo to hire more-" a bolt bounces off his tremendous armor. "I see, more fight. Give me your first blow!" 

The fearse Claimer strikes his short blade at him. It was a poor blow, but it nearly snapped the sword in two. "Is that all you got!? I met a woman that hit me harder than that! And such a puny sword! Why!? Haha!"

"That sword was one your men's. This is mine," he pulls out a large katana blade. Sharp and harder than steel, it was a weapon for a true wielder. Rock laughs in what he saw. 

"Is that really your sword!? Hahaha! That sword cannot pierce my armor! I rather fight a man with that visor in your hands."

"That is mercy to your kind."

"Alright then. I'll let you try," he points at his side. "Go ahead! I bet there will be not a scratch."

The Claimer swings with the utmost might, knocking his opponent down. He was coughing up blood. His eyes were glaring at the legendary killer, realising he let him beat the strength out of him. "No! No, please! I'll let you go! With money? Take it all! Have my men's armor! Please! Don't kill me!" 

"You Talo sacks of piss always underestimate me. My sword might not have pierced your armor, Rock, but at least your body feels the blow." a scream escapes the downed villain's throat. With no mercy, he swings repeatedly, beating him to death. 

"Oh god, my favorite part," he said sarcastically as he chopped his bounty's head off. "25 hundred for me again. You men are free to live. Like I said, any attempt of killing me, will result in your timely death," the men look at each other in surprise and fear, knowing they just faced the Wanderer of Shadows.

Here we are going to talk about those guys that are just plain awesome, but never get the spotlight. Yes this is a late Community Writing Challenge, but it still needs to be said! From leading us with high expectations with characters and hiding them to characters that are never talked about again!

10. Tai (Gears of War 2)

Literally give to us for about 10 minutes of getting to know the character and is never seen again! Well, until he kills himself when you rescue him. And don't give me that spoilers crap, because this is a long since released game! Anyways, this character is very mysterious. Not in a way that has you wondering what he's going to do next like Zer0, but in a way that just makes you feel you missed some thing about him. I mean, Marcus tells you off the bat that he is one of the bravest and most bad ass COG Marines out there, but never gives us insight on how he was know to be that way. Yes there is comics that tell you his past mission, but it was only one of his missions. Missions that made him know to be the most bad ass COG Marine to fight! To me, they missed an opportunity of a great character creation. 

9. Eri (Metal Slug series)

She is one of four characters you can be in the Metal Slug franchise, but is never appreciated for what she really is. She is was gang leader in New York, was a foster child and was taken by the government to be apart of the infamous team, the SPARROW's. How bad ass is that? What is very strange is that the cuter and less hardcore character Fio took her thunder. 

Fio became more of a fan favorite while Eri was always pushed aside. Only is they prove their worth in the battle to the death... I think that could be established in Metal Slug 3 if you play as Fio in the beginning. 

8. McCreedy (Fallout 3-4)

Did anyone else know he was in Fallout 4? I didn't know until I heard his story. The game was what no one really expect: a better Fallout 3, but isn't that how sequels usually work? That's a conversation spoken on a different day. Anyways, he tells of what happens to him after he becomes a teenager and has to live without his friends in Little Lamplight. Sounds a bit familiar...

Well, no really cares about him. I mean, I understand if you don't want to be seen as a helping thief, but this guy has gone through some crap! Fought a deathclaw and almost died, had his only ghoul buddy die by raiders, and a gang is hunting him down! That is some story that almost everyone has heard, but you never get to help them with the problem. He even asks you if you want to go kill the gang hunting him down and relieve him from the dept. He is underappreciated character in the game that is the only companion that has troubling problems then emotional problems. 

7. Dan Hibki (Street Fighter)

I know what you might be thinking. This guy is a moron that is trying too hard to be cool! Well, let me tell you his back story. No, not his real back story, how he became the infamous doofus. His first appearance was in a game called KoF. He had a hadouken like move and looked too much like Ken or Ryu. After Capcom hearing their enemy, SNK, having a character that resembled too much like their own characters. I mean they could have gotten the guy that looks like Ryu names Ryo, but they chose this guy. The claimed a lawsuit and took the fighter as their own. Recreated his character just resemble how they looked at SNK. Sucks to be the guy that is suppose to resemble one of the greatest gaming companies in Japan as a moron that has a horrid back story and stupidly hard to master moves. 

6. Mordecai (Borderlands series)

After hearing about the death of bloodwing, you just want hug this poor guy. They tell you what he likes, what he does for a living and that's just about it. What was his past life like? Why did he choose the Vault Hunting life? They never tell you everything about the entire cast from the first to the second entry of the game, but they never go deeper on why Mordecai is there in that watchtower! What does do up there! And we only see that other trash hole he lives in. There is a lot that needs to be said about him and no one is interested!

5. Luigi (Mario series)

A character we all know has the hard feeling with Mario and having his princess cheating on him with his own brother. A lot of people favor Mario, but what about the green older bother? Yes, Older. I can see someone choosing him for a second player because who the hell wants to be the toad that flipped you off and told the princess was in another castle! 

Anyways, I always play as Walawigi when I play Mario Kart, but some give this guy some attention! I know there's a game all about him saving his brother, but it's basically Super Mario with only 90 seconds on the clock. 

4. The Marine (Alien vs. Predator)

I know you play as him, but you hardly ever get to know the character! It's not like in Halo 3 ODST where all you know of him is that he's rookie, but this guy has a low status of who he is. I mean when they reveal yourself, you wouldn't have known he was African-American! Let alone his rank! Maybe they thought you would know? Or maybe that was suppose to be the case of playing as this character. I don't know! 

3. Monster Kid

In the game, you see him very frequently, but never really get to know him. I mean all you know about him personally is that he's a monster and is a kid. He also has no arms, so he might idolize Meteton? You talk with him to get a glimpse of his character, but don't really get his real name. Imagine his name is Nathan and we don't even know.

2. Jack (Bioshock series)

This guy is mysterious. Yes I mean it like Zer0! You don't know anything about him! I mean you have nothing, but a present to know his name. I mean you hear him in the plane scene, but people believe it was the person next to you talking. Who knows! Maybe it was your thoughts! Anyways, in the game, it made you wonder why you're on the plane and what was in that present that was from you? Were you jack? And he's another character you play as! And the most iconic symbol in this game is the chain tattoos, but it still doesn't explain this crazy protagonist!

***

Now for some honorable mentions 

***

1. You (Call of Duty 1-3)

In the game Call of Duty classic, as people are calling it, you are a hero of which has completed the most impossible missions, but all you know about who you are is that you're learning the ropes. Of course you're in WWII and your either in Berlin or in Nazi Germany to complete a mission. That's literally all you and I can know about this character you're playing as. Of course you're never ranked up so everyone calls you private or rookie. But it really makes me wonder who are in this game? A legendary hero? Or just another Average Joe? I know at the time, characters weren't really presented as full humans or sentient beings, but look how the game was played: everyone had the emotions of a soldier at the time, you were meant to feel the sadness of the fallen in the beginning. 

Well, what do you think was my list good? Or was it bad? Were the facts correct? I know it was great! I can see it in your face!

Well, 'till next time...

Play More Games!

Remember those good old days where I blogged about wacky stories? Do you? Like, I don't know... When I'm Playing? Or Story 'Bout my Ma? Those kind of stories.

Well, I've got another story! Yes, if you read the title correctly, I'm telling a story about my gaming sibling rivalry. Now, we're both older and more intelligent, so we know a bit more about games and how to play them. It was Christmas in 2012 and we had our first 3DS's and we couldn't wait to play some multiplayer games! 

My sister was confident on what to pick to dominate me, Street Fighter IV! Now it was a long fight, so let's get this over with, we fought about who might win for 5 months until I got the game, and we began the competition. She won mostly until I began to learn the moves and more and finally gave her what for. Then Smash Bros came out. Something new for us to fight with. Something new to let the anger out at each other. 

Since me and my sis wanted to fight each other with this God Sent game, we both got it for the following Christmas. Me and my sis looked at each other once we got them. We were both thinking the same thing: I have to learn to play this game!

This was the first time we ever played Smash Bros ever and we never really got to know how the game was played or it's mechanics, so we learned. And we began to test our moves! Just to sum it up for me, I was like this...

All I wanted to do with that DS was throw it into a fire. We literally played for 6 hours straight! It was quite a battle. And I was loosing! So after accepting my defeat, me and my little friend, the DS, went to go practice. I left my charger cord connected and practiced my skills and made sure I perfected them. I stayed up all night playing Super Smash to the point sunlight harmed my eyes! God that reminded me of the time I played for two days without eating! But that's a story for another day. 

So after seeing I was overplaying, I stopped when it was 3pm. Yes... DON'T JUDGE ME!! Anyways, I heard my dad saying we were going to a friends house, which they had a WIi U... WIth Smash Bros... It was time...

As soon as we got there, I said "Start up the Wii, because I challenge you Lidia!" I can see her shrug while my friend is confused. We explain to our dear friend and went with our competition.

It was an 8 man battle, me, my sister, our friend, our friend's brother, and her dad. We all had 4 lives and we all aimed to take out the CPU's. We all had faces of fury as my sister was just playing casually. 

I knew she was going down. I could foresee it! As soon as we took out the last CPU, we all stopped, looking at each other both in-game and in reality. My sister smiled calmingly while I charged and tried to take out everyone else, but her. Luckily I succeeded and had an audience to watch my sis lose. My plan was ready, we both had one life left and we were at the brink of instant ringout. 

I say to her with the most glaring smile "How does it feel to lose, huh?"

She was just sitting there all causal with her gaming face. We head butt each other to the point it was a miracle if we didn't get hit for a second. Everyone in the room was glued to the screen. They saw this was an even match, but one has to leave a winner. I was hoping that would be me. As we were playing, we were hoping for the hammer to instant knockout one of us. As soon as I thought about it, it appeared. I set my attention to that hammer and we both know what's going to happen next. This was going to be the end. The time I was training myself for! 

I hear footsteps in the hallway. My dad says "Hey! what's going on?" and he says it so loud since the TV was at full blast, that it startled me. I lose my attention to the screen and she gets the hammer when I'm right next to it. It was obvious who won. I lost and she beat me once again. 

What? You thought this was going to end with me winning? Ha! You don't know my sis! Well, I hope you liked my little story of humiliation! And don't forget to eat your Chibi Woffles!

And 'til next time...

Play More Games! And not lose at them...

From characters that are favored for the weirdest reason to characters that have the cool sucked out of them, we give you the 7 most underrated characters in gaming. This has been edited by my sis, QueenCatBu237, so give her a visit. Enjoy!

7. Solid Snake

A lot of people love Snake or Big Boss as you play some other entries of the game, but me? I just think he's another guy that gets too much love! Remember how Justin Bieber spat on his fans? Well, I can imagine Snake launching every single one of his screaming fans into the atmosphere... So... Much.. Launching!

The super soldier has so many clones too! Is that Liquid Snake or is that Solid Snake!? I mean make up you mind Kojima! I love your work and all, but you don't have to make the game like every game in Japan, confusing as hell! 

6. Master Chief

Now, to stray away from Snake, how 'bout Master Chief? I know many have attacked him because he's basically the most famous and powerful guy in gaming history... I still think Doom Guy could have won...

Anyways, he is a bit of a badass when it comes to being one of the last original Spartans, but still. The fandom of the guy is a bit annoying. I mean did you guys hate it when I put him on my Top 10 lists? Probably almost made you ram your head on the table, huh?

Anyways, the games he was in were awesome... Until Halo 4 happened and destroyed the story completely and reforming it after Halo 5. God, that armor is too ugly to me. 

5. Mario

Moving on, and I know many of you might hate this, but Mario is up there in my list of annoying characters. Trust me, his games marked my childhood greatly, but his voice made me cringe after Super Mario: Galaxy on the Wii.

I'm sorry if you love the guy, I know most of you out there love him as much as Scientology loves Tom Cruise, but I have to say it! As much as a hero goes, he is one big dreamer...

See what I did there? And that's not just a joke, it's actually true! The Mushroom Kingdom and the Princess that Mario saves are just his imagination. The original Super Mario where you clean sewer systems with animal infestation, was his real life job! I mean he's a loser in his original life, which is the reason why I put him so low on the list. It's a bit sad...

I bet none of you really care about this entry on the list, huh? I don't know, just this guy has a lot of hidden love, and he also marked my childhood, but he gets annoying after a long while. I mean, it's redundant to have the voice acting be Link's grunting and yells. 

And how confusing his own timeline is! And the games aren't even released in order of the timeline's pattern! I mean there is three cuts of the timeline: Adult, Kid, and the Failed route! And barely any of them are accurate if Link is an adult or not! This is starting to sound more than a rant than an overrated character description. Well, he's cool and all, but after all the timeline, I lost my interest in him. 

3. Roland

I know, you might be saying "His death was the most emotional part of the game!" I know, but he was too full of emotion in the first game. I mean he yells in the game very happily! Does that sound like the Roland you know? I played as him to capture the emotion of the leader in Sanctuary, and found someone else. I saw an enthusiastic, up-beat guy with the face of a wall. That didn't fit in my book.

And how he says he doesn't like propaganda and has his face on propaganda poster everywhere!

Make up your mind, man!

2. Mega-Man

One of the most beloved characters of the 80's. Unless you're one of my friends that thinks this guy should DIE!!! But that's the point of this list. My friend says he's overrated and such as that, like saying he's a boy, programmed to be an average boy. 

I know that's just stupid! He just wanted to help his father/creator in a time in need. That's the thing about him, a normal boy would feel afraid and try to not be apart of this problem with Mr. Wiley. Just so unrealistic! But like what my dad say, it's just a story.

1. Gordon Freeman

For our final entry, it's the legendary game's hero, Gordon Freeman. The hero all nerds praise... And Gabe... Praise Gaben and his holy creations he has given to us peasants of the outer world and PRAY FOR A 3RD GAME!!! Amen...

Anyways, he's just a doctor in the beginning of the series. A scientist that has no battle experience! No fighting knowledge nor any weapon skills! Unless you count the weapons he creates in the labs, but that's off the table. 

I know all you nerds with the glasses with the tape in the middle love him, and surely I do too, but he was just a scientist in the beginning that magically got war experience. And how much respect is he getting when he can't speak!? I mean come on! How can you have a conversation with him without having him answer you!?

Do you want Dr. Pepper or Cola?

I would like some Pepsi instead, but I don't think I can speak right now. Should I? Just nod!

Cola? Okay! 

But we can't deny how much we love that damn game... Was I complimenting? 

Did you like my list? Did you enjoy it? I hope you did! If not then just stay seated and deal with it!

Well, 'til next time...

Play More Games!

A cold, bleak cavern of depression. The lives of these monsters can't hold much for long. They are not human, but they cannot live in such conditions. After hearing a new scientist and constructors would save the monsters' they cheer for him and whoever helps along his path.

"What do you think might happen, dad?" the voice is deep, but lingers with the body of a teen. "I mean, you can be worshiped by such a desperate kingdom."

"Nothing will happen, Sans. All that will happen is that we will finally have something to research on."

"Listen to him, Sans." another voice. It sounds older. "We will finally recreate our people once again." 

"Papyrus is exactly right, Sans. You can learn a thing or two from such a smart mind." Sans shrugs in anger. 

"Thank you father." The three walk to the royal's hideaway, to find what they might do. A castle in ruin. An ancient vessel of a once prominent civilization, and that vessel in arms of the two royals, the king and queen of the underground. 

"Finally, you are back! We are in need of a good home. The underground is too cold! We need a warm living place for me and my wife." Gaster notices the queen is holding a child. An Infant. 

"I never seen your child, my king. May I see him or her?"

"But... We must speak upon this hard matter!"

"I understand. Before we go on, these two are my sons." the two show themselves. A bright blue light shines on Sans and an  orange glimmers on Papyrus. "I am deeply sorry if it was rude I didn't introduce them earlier."

"Not at all. Now, we must speak of the situation."

"What is it you must know, my king?"

"What are your plans?" Sans is showing his worry. "What are your plans to rebuild my kingdom?" Gaster almost shivered in worry as he spoke i those words.

"If you must know, my king, we plan to create a powerhouse, an electrified grid of metal and copper that will give your cold home some warmth." Papyrus smiles. " Then, we build the cities, but of course we build your palace first. Afterwards, we shall be on our way. You shall never see us again."

"Are you sure you need to leave afterwards?"

"Yes. I am sure of it." Gaster the two brothers shake the royals' hands. Sans gives a deep smile the queen as she held her child. "Oh! I almost forgot, you only mention me to your people as you bring them the news. No one else shall know of these two."

"Why is that?"

"There is no reason, my king. I want these two be a secret of the rest of the monsters."

"If that is your wish." the two walk away and soon disappear in thin air. The kingdom and its royal owner is worried this might take too long. "What do you think they're up to, Torie?"

A large lab in the the deep underground is hidden in within it's depths. Gaster is planning on how much power should the powerhouse store. Papyrus is working by himself on his own project as Sans watches in boredom. 

"So..." Papyrus rolls his eyes. He knows what he's doing. "What you doing, Papy?"

"An experiment Sans..."

"What kind?"

"It's just an experiment... What are you doing!?" Papyrus panics as Sans snatches the odd experiment out of his hands. 

"Sans! What are you doing!?" the two struggle as Sans makes sure Papyrus doesn't get it back. Despite Sans and his shortness, he still managed to keep it away from him. 

"What's the magic word?"

"JUST GIVE IT BACK!

"Magic word!?" Papyrus gave out a large sigh. The words he hated to say. Words that he won't want to say even if kills him.

"Will you leave me alone?"

"We won't find out until you say it!"

"But you'll give it back?"

"Yes."

"Fine!" He readied himself. "Spaghetti I forgety... As I speak I won't regrety." Sans hands him his experiment. He goes back to work and finally relaxes. 

The door behind them slams open. "Sans, come with me." Papyrus looked away from his project and looked to Sans and Gaster. "I need to show you something" The two walk into his lab  while Sans looks around curiously. They soon go out into the cold caves of the underground.  "Look at this. Solid floor, right?"

"Yes?"

"Wrong!" he stomps on the floor and it collapses. Lava exerted from the ground.

"What are you showing me, dad?"

 "I had an epiphany. Heat can be used as a force, yes? And mineral can be our oil. I have a marvelous idea, my son."

I'm only 16, but I got a few adult gamers, my dad, friend's dad, my dad's friends, etc. So I hope this relevant to what you older gamers out there like. From games that made you think it was the future to games that seems like years since you played it. I hope you enjoy. 

10. Super Mario

My dad never played this game, because he was a Sega kid. But most of the people I asked they usually listed this as one of the most memorable. I would have to say, it is still a fun game, but you guys already know that. To cut this short, it's really one of the classics. 

9. Call of Duty Classic

Most people don't remember this, but a lot of adults called this a Medal of Honor clone. Yes, that's what it was! They just modified it a bit and just did the same as it progressed through the generations. My dad is a CoD fan and he knows this game like he knows his kids! He still plays it today with his pals with a tall pint of beer. 

8. Banjo-Kazooie

This is the legend and the reason why I still want a 64. My dad never liked it but he always felt old looking back at it. Most of the others people said it was one of those games that made you feel like you beat it 2 decades ago! They all said it was Rare's golden age. I would have to age

7.  Blood Rayne

Everyone named this game on the top of their heads. As soon as they called the game out, all they talked about was how hot Rayne was. I mean, I can see why, but she just looks like an ugly character model. Still this game is one of the best shoot 'em/beat 'em ups of the generation. If you ever come across this game, I suggest playing it! The game still holds up.

6.Mega-Man

A lot of the Nintendo loving adults love this game. Although, his original cover art was a bit hilarious, the game was a remarkable concept. Despite its incredible difficulty, the game marked our fathers' minds and ours as well. 

5. Diablo

My dad hated this game for making him waste his life on it. Every time I say the name of this game, at least 5 people look at me. The game is remembered as one of the great RPG titles of the time. I would have to say, there is a lot of incredible replay ability. A few of my friends still have their dads hogging the computer because of this game.

4. Star Wars: KOTOR

A lot of people at the time came to some worry when it released, because of the previous disasters in the Star Wars gaming franchise, but it surprised most people. The game had a very compelling story, great  and loveable characters, and an awesome new look of the world of the Extended Universe. There is a reason why a lot of old fans of Star Wars loved this. I mean it feels like a work of George Lucas!

3. Mega-Man X

My dad loves this game. One time, we found it in the garage with a SNES console and 2 controllers. At the time, we were in need of money so we sadly had to sell the poor thing. For a lot too! It sold for almost a full grand! To be clear, I never played this game, but every time I mention Mega-Man, my dad asks if I'm talking about X.

It gained so much popularity, that it had two other sequels. Each one different from the last, the game is big, but never leaves your mind. Oh, if you ever come across Mega-Man X 3 at a Thrift Store, make sure you buy it! It sells for hundreds of dollars! It goes for even more with the box cover.

2. Sonic The Hedgehog

Aaah... That beautiful them... I know you Nintendo freaks love the more famous mascot, Mario, but this game went ahead of the track. See what I did there? I made a pun! Anyways, the game was remembered, but the high price of the console put the game to a deep hole. 

Like how Street Fighter rose to fame, after the second game, it got noticed and marked the minds of my dad and almost every gamer there is. Don't think it hasn't! You know you love that game! I see you playing it on the DS! Don't you hide it!

Now for our Honorable Mentions.

1. Crash Bandicoot 

Almost every PlayStation owner knows this awesome character. The game wasn't just fun, but hard! It had a combination of puzzle side scrolling and Mario kill mechanics. And that was the reason why it was so memorable! It made us almost rage quite! And he is also crazy enough to go to the Nintendo studio and tell them out!

But we still love this crazy, furry rodent! 

Did you like my list? What game made you feel old? Why am I asking that? I know you guys won't answer!

And until next time...

The giant community of Game Informer has lots of creative writers. Most of which were hard to depict as number 1! And no. None of them paid me to put them on a list... I wish they did, but what'ya gonna do? From members that achieve to speak about gaming to veterans members that would have everyone cry if they left. I hope you enjoy. 

Now since there is now evidence of their image, I will be using their profil pic or hero image as a replacement. 

5. Phil Kollar

Once worked at  Game Informer, he was a great blogger, but that would be an understatement. I mean he helped out with those bloggers with trouble in the Writer"s Guild, he created the infamous Replay that GIO is now famous for, and shaped a lot Game Informer. 

Even though, he spoke his mind a lot (Which is not a problem in my book), and made a lot us think of what was behind the basics of our favorite games, the awesome that lies in front of us that we don't notice! This is still an understatement,  but he was an awesome dude and a kind guy, which made it devastating when we heard he was leaving. Phil, if you're reading this (And I hardly ever think you will), we miss you...

4. GerardoExber

I know he might be reading this... Maybe... I don't know. He has some of the best talks about games! Surprise Gaming Reunion was fun to read!

Is Beating a Gaming Truly Satisfying was a great look on what is good when beating a game!

And don't get me started on his Community Challenge Entries!

They're just fantastic! Magnifique! We need more people like you in GIO. Both great writing detail, and awesome ideas we all need to hear!

3. Craigleg

I know a lot of you guys have seen him on the GIO Newsletter. Well, besides his creativity (Like most people that appear on this list), he likes to do more about himself. Something many would often do with a blog, but it doesn't shed light of his life like "I just ate a pancake at Ihop! What do you guys think of their food?" I'm talking about his experience in games, what he has got done on his Backlog, and he even shares what not many would blog about... HIS MARRIAGE!!!

What? Am I the only one that thinks talking about your true love to other people you don't know is weird? Well, okay! Nothing to judge on that... Oh and Craig... Sorry if you think this is bad to show on my blog. I can take it off if you like.

2.  Marco Polo

Many would say that Ninja is a bit cooler than what's underneath that cloth mask... What? It's nothing bad? No wonder he's on #2.

If you haven't read what is on his blog, you should go do that right now! Do it! He explores a lot of both sides of the good and bad of gaming, the payment is awful, but the game could enhance the way we think of things. The game wasn't what we expected, but we can learn from those mistakes. He isn't afraid of to tread on either side of the band wagon. 

Now for a few honorable mentions...

Dalin Briggs

MightyMagikarp

And now for the #1

1. Saint

Like the profile he chose, he is a legend in GIO. Almost every blogger on this site was inspired by such an awesome writer/blogger! None of his blogs were a mess, and they never will be. He made blogs that marked games as a whole, talked to us like we were family! He was just awesome. And that;s the ultimate understatement. But, like all the greats, he left. He stopped blogging. He ceased to speak on GIO. He was never heard from again. Or did he? 

I've seen him comment on a few of the bloggers out there, but I'm not sure it means he's back... The theories are flooding!

I know I missed a few greats out there, so please name them! I would love to see some people's ideas of writing! But as usual...

The Reasoning of The VR

I have heard that people hope this fades and is continued being know as a fad, but what they don't understand is that it's something that we need job-wise. What do I mean? I mean the VR wasn't made to entertain you, it was made to train a person in the occupation such as Surgery, piloting, and even war. 

A lot surgeons are careful and can't practice on simple dumbies in CPR classes, they need a subject to be a surgeon. Surgeon simulator isn't a good depiction of what might happen because that's for viral purpose. The VR would practically give us a literal depth in how to preform such a hard job. 

Now in piloting, there is a similar device that simulated what a plane may operate, but it's 67.8% of what a real plane would be like, because of the lack of depth. If we had a VR installed in a large rotating device, it it would raise the percentage buy 20, making the VR capability a better training device. 

Can be for Other Purposes

If you look at it, the VR can do more than just allow us to be in a game. What if we could be in a movie? You don't need to be apart of the movie, but you can watch an entire movie as if you were there. Watch the Avengers fight Apocalypse as you sit there observing it. I know they did things like that with talk shows live, but what about a cinematic event instead a tedious talk show? 

I know what you might be thinking, what about the VR porn? I know and funny thing, Blue Rays were actually brought to its fame today because of porn. Hard to believe it, but it's true. I know some how, the VR will go along the same shameful path. 

What VR's May Do

As said in one of Lemino's videos, we always said that we would extend to space and expand from out there. Why do that when we extend inward and create our own world and be free with in those worlds, with no consequences, no punishments, and nor regrets! Many don't see it, but a simulation can be one of the greatest frontiers man has to cross. 

Well, there is a lot that may or may not happen with VR, but I know it will never fade as a fad. But that's just my opinion, like how you think this picture isn't funny...

And 'till next time...

Play More Games!

Now we all know that most of the multiplayer done in gaming is bad, so I'll sum it up for ya, but I'll have to give a take on both the Goods and the Bads of Multiplayer Transactions. 

Of course I have to go with the awful hate that goes on with your typical 12 year old gamer, but most of what gaming is today, is nothing but online interactions! No split screen either! The joyful gaming that made a 4-player match awesome and memorable! Gone out of our hands! We are forced to play with that stupid ass kid that no one will try to kick or vote kick (For you PC Gamers). Will our children ever see and play the awesome split-screen multiplayer matches that marked us as kids with that awesome 007 64 game? 

Most people say that our generation of gaming will end with us destroying what was awesome back then and create something new with what we already have. Online matches can be fun, but some are just repetitive and just... Well, hard! With all those awesome players that take this match as serious as a FIFA fan on crack! STOP IT WITH THE HEADSHOTS!!!!

Well. now to the "Good" topic that was so anticipated for. Now a lot of people love, and I mean, LOVE getting to know people that they met on CS: GO or CoD. My cousin met his wife when he played Halo 2 for the entire day! Meeting people might be the half of what's cool, but a lot of my friends are either from Canada, England or Japan, and I met them all on a single match of Team Death Match on Gears of War 2. 

And that's the thing, I met them from either half way around the world or a country above me! You can meet any now a days. People from across the world can meet all at once by just playing a match of Slayer or King of the Hill. As bad as it sounds, actual terrorists contacted each other by playing CoD Black Ops 2. Reason why the network was temporarily taken down in early 2015. 

The one thing that haunt gaming as a whole is that the multiplayer option can be forced on you. Titanfall is of those games that hit us big. A triple A game can become one of Indie's finest sellers on Steam. You can't say Team Fortress 2 is a triple A game because it's a what I like to call a mini game: a game of which you play for the sake of fun instead it being based on story or plot. As soon as one of gaming's funnest factors became what it is now, people are worrying about the next generation that may happen... God the humanity of what could come...Zelda Tri-Force Heroes became such a game... The pain it brought when I saw it...

Now what can even this out? Another good to even the bad. What is it? Oh! Besides the friends, besides the people across the world, there is triumph in each match you complete. The teamwork you brought after defeat the infamous Blue Team. The score you got on Death Match. Everything in each match that you can achieve makes you feel good! Yes! I finally won a match in TF2! Finally! I killed my player in CoD! It's just an awesome feeling to get when you finally achieve a goal you could pass in the past or even for days after doing it.  

What you think of what I had to say? I know there's a lot of things that make you mad or happy in today's multiplayer gaming and I know I might have missed a few or more. Wait... Are you going to answer me this time?

And 'til next time...

Play More Games!

Now, I know there's a lot of hate on this DLC, and I can see why. I mean, what were we expecting from a $10 DLC? An entire world? If that were the case, it would have been $30 to $25 tops. 

Now to the review, the DLC gives the option to build your own robot (Obviously), a few locations to dungeon claw on, and a new story mission. To say, that's all good for me, I mean the game became lacking after meeting a few locations and finishing a lot of quests, so I'm glad they did this! I mean it's not much, but at least they are showing us what can be done. 

The robot building is a bit annoying if you don't have the material, but it's just fun! How much can be built in the game is just awesome! It's as if they got the weapons moding and the base building were put  together and mashed it into one. I mean you can choice a voice for the robot and just customize it to the fear or cuteness of the voice. But for some reason, they mention that there can be personalities in the robots, but they don't utilize it as a custom creation option. Way to tease us Bethesda!

And what's great is that they put in a new raider. Doesn't sound much, but the same raider keeps getting old, and they are a bit too week to fight sometimes. The new raiders, The Rust Devils, are a lot harder than the average raider with a stick. They have lasers, can go higher than level 60, and when you encounter a legendary, you're going to need a Mini Nuke.

And of course there is some new weapons and armor that come with them, they have the parts of scrapped robots that are a stronger than the standard metal armor... Yes I read that off the loading screen... But besides the armor, there are a few new weapons like the Assaultron's head that blasts a beam stronger than your average laser, but can give the user radiation damage, a Mr. Handy Buzz Saw Arm, Assaultron Blade and not to forget the Tesla Rifle.

And even Tesla Power Armor! Me encanta esta armadura!

Now to finish this, lets talk about the story mission. 

To say, there was a lot of lore that was explored in this, and I had to say, they strayed away from the New Vegas game when they talked about the Robobrains. The game explored how the Robobrains worked and how the hell does the brain have to do with the robot!? 

And it just tries to make you dig deep on what the hell is happening and why it's happening. Now to the story, the DLC mission line is fun, and I would have to say you would have to get at least an expert hacking skill because there's going to be a lot of that in the long run. And make sure your health is large because there will be many legendary enemies, and remember what I said about the Rust Devils. 

And not to spoil anything, the main boss fight is a bit typical, but it reminds you of the fun and memorable boss fights in the past. I mean The Mechanist throws all he's got at you! Good thing there wasn't a sentry robot in his stash...

Now of course there are some glitches that are in this DLC, like if you have almost full storage, the DLC will not appear until you clean your hard drive. The enemies thinking you're not there. That guy you killed is still alive. And don't get me started on the crafting. I mean I got to build every robot I wanted even though it said I couldn't build it! I mean every robot. I built a Mrs. Handy for Codsworth, an Assualtron to protect Sanctuary, and 5 Sentry Bots for each settlement on my map. And I don't think that many people will encounter this. 

Oh! And the boss fight I was talking about has a glitch, and it's not cool. You finish off every bot and you have nothing else to do, you wait for The Mechanist to stop attacking you with teslas and explosive barrels. Nothing happens! I had to start way back from the beginning of the fight and died 4 times over and finally defeated The Mechanist. 

Now this was what I thought of the DLC. What did you think of the game's newest DLC that may give an example of what may come next in the other DLC's? I just can't wait for those two awesome DLC's... I hope there will be more, too!

Well, as usual...

If you're about to create your own horror or you're just wondering what make a horror game, here's some of the basics of what can make a good survival horror. From what you dislike about that creepy child to why does that look like a necromorph, this is 5 ingredients for making a good survival horror. 

5. Distortion

When you play a simple horror like Condemned or Amnesia, you can see things as misleading, that stack of books looked like a monster, the lamp's shadow looked like something ominous. It's like a trick jumpscare. If you didn't know, all horror flix and games have this ingredient. 

4. False Innocence

In many games, children, one of the most unexpecting killer, can be the most fearsome and creepiest ghost/monster. But that's just a small example of what can be unexpecting. Mannequins are one that can snatch you when you're not looking, doctors are a man's worst surgeon in a haunted hospital and even toys such as dolls can be offensive. Anything that can that can't be seen as a creepy entity, is most likely to be put in a horror conflict. 

3. Loneliness

One of the main keys to a horror is to feel alone. Loneliness is a feeling that can trend fear on the bravest man when exposed to such horrors in games.

Games like Condemned, F.E.A.R., or even Resident Evil have this to make you feel outnumbered or without anyone to help you accomplish escaping the hell hole you fell in. Sometimes it makes you question if you're still alive or if this is just all in your character's mind. 

2. Powerless

One thing you don't want to be in a fight is being powerless, no weapons, no protection, or the monster chasing you is just plain unkillable! This factor is one of the most utilized concepts in horror games. The feeling that you have when you have to run instead of protect yourself is more terrifying experience than meeting the monster!

Games like Dead Space or Alien Isolation has this as you were trained to fight the huge monster after everything you had weaponized or can be used as a weapon was taken from you or just plain useless against him. 

1. The Drive

In every horror, there is some kind of drive you need to keep playing; to survive from the horde to live longer, find your wife and escape the city, find out what and why you're here, there just has to be something to keep you from leaving the game on your backlog.

Games like Soma or Amnesia had you asking why were you there and how the hell did you get there? There has to be something to keep you playing. From why is the monster here, to where is my family could be great combinations to create a survival horror.

Did I miss anything? What makes your skin crawl in horror games? Well, I hope it's not about FNaF, because that game makes me angry!

'Til next time...

Play More Games!

I always look for more in a game, but what I usually do is ask for a game I want to play. From a game that can win 5 Game of the Year awards to a concept that may define the meaning of this generation or the next, I count down the 10 best gaming concepts that need to be used for once!

10. Vampires!

A concept used in the olden days, We need another game that you play as a dark creature of the night to kill to quench his bloodlust or prove the villagers that there is a heart in a soulless vessel. Since the dawning of Twilight, all ideas of such a game be developed was scrapped or just rethought of. I mean, the story of Rayne still lives on, but we miss the games she was in. 

9. Theft

I know there are games that have you sneak and steal for the fun, but they aren't a good example of what can happen. I want to see some utilize this concept in a rare way. Either in VR or even in modern gaming. Make the game in a more modern era where you'd have to do more than just run away when they have guns. Make it even more than what I expect, make it like a Jewel Heist to put more suspense on my behalf.

8. You Don't Have to Shoot

If you ever played SWAT, then you know what I'm talking about. In SWAT, you had to arrest the offenders, if they attack with lethal force, you had permission to shoot to kill. I haven't seen a game like that since then. I mean there's Rainbow Six: Siege, but they don't utilize the concept of a real SWAT team or a real American Law Enforcement. This would lead you to believe that meeting an offender that would kill, would be surprising or just hard! 

7. For the Sake of Adventure!

I know there is a game coming out with the same concept called No Man's Sky, but I know that not many would like to take this concept willingly unless it's an awesome new world. I really want to see what a person can with this idea, with worlds already created, like Tamriel (Elder Scrolls) or even Middle Earth (Lord of the Rings). I know that there might be dangers in this type of world, but I want to see the world in a perspective of a traveler or be the Lewis and Clark of Tamriel! Sounds like a boring concept, but such an idea can have you dwell in the depths of the world's beauty.

6. Become the Elite

I know that in Halo 2, you play as the Arbiter and that was awesome, but you see the game in a heretic's eyes. I want to play as the Elite that doesn't see the Covenant as a false community, a concept already told in books, but never in a game. I want to see the story before the Spartans were made. To see what Reach was like in the hateful eyes of a cold blooded Elite. 

5. In the Great War

I know this may go off roots with the game's genre and style, but always wanted to see what everything was like in the great war in Alaska and China. To play out the role of an American soldier wearing the T-50 Power Armor for the first time and drive out the Chinese from Alaska. A short story already told, but never shown. Someone in Bethesda, try to make this happen and not make it like Point Acherage. 

4. Egypt Empire  Vs. Roman Empire

There are many stories of which that talk of the Egyptians and the Romans, but I would like to see someone in the gaming industry try to take those stories and put them either in a story driven game, or a game in the style of Chivalry. I have my own ideas, but I would like to see what people would do with the concept.

3. Other Superheroes

There has been some talk going on that the Arkham series is old and we are waiting to see other heroes take it's spot. I agree with that. Arkham Knight was a bit of a bore and felt as if I was playing the same game. I would love to see a game that would be based on either famous or unknown heroes like Spawn or Shadow Hawk, maybe even a game based on the Sin City comic book franchise. Please, Telltale, Bethesda, 2K, anyone try to take this idea! I want to see the heroes rise!

2. One of the Nine Divines

After seeing the success of Fallout Shelter, I believe they can do more than a Vault Simulator. I always loved playing Civilization and games that make you as the god of these people, so I want to see this concept go to one of my favorite franchises, Elder Scrolls. Be either the Daedric Princes or one of the Nine Divines that are worshipped by the people of Tamriel. I've seen games that tread this concept pretty far by allowing you to not let your followers poop causing them to be constipated.

1. Become the Demon

Games like Overlord gave me a lot of fun. What sucks it that the concept is no longer used. I want to see a game where you are the Demon tormenting the residents or on a rampage in the city. If you ever watched Grandma's Boy and you remember that game they made called Demonic, then you know what I'm talking about. 

I would like to be on the evil side once more since Overlord isn't backwards compatible on the Xbox. 

Did you like my list? Well, I hope the developers do something with these ideas because...

And as usual...

What I loved in The Last of Us games were how realistic they were. I know some of you might say that the Zombie concept is getting old, but you haven't really been getting the real thing. As some of you PlayStation nerds know, The Last of Us had a story that was both an adventurous ride and a heart-wrenching path. 

Beside the great AI and mechanics, the game gave you guilt when fighting an enemy. Some would plead for mercy, some would try to flee. That made me and most players hesitant to even finish them off. I really miss that in a Zombie Apocalypse game. Now they make you hate the enemy and have you kill anyone without feeling sorry for them. 

Dying Light is a good example. The game made you hate Rais and his goons, but the stories that could been explored about the goons would been better either told by word or by note. I mean there has to be some heart in some of them, right? Well, I wanted to find notes in Rais' palace from his goons saying they only joined the gang to provide food for their family or they wanted to have protection from the outbreak, things like that. 

In The Last of Us, there were notes that explained why those jerks of raiders didn't really want to kill everyone, they just wanted to keep the military from coming into the city. There were notes that told you what happened to the corpse holding. There were even notes on what the hell was a ration card was! I will be comparing The Last of Us with a lot of things, because that game was such a perfect game with the right concept. 

Although, most people may say that the game was a bit too much in one place, but if you ever were in a tragedy, things seem to get worse and worse by the minute it started. All I can say is that the game treads the realistic path that games tend to stray away from. 

I know there are a lot of survival games that have some zombies in it, but I would like to see some take on the legacy of The Last of Us. I want to see a game that treads on reality of zombies to another game with a different story and more compelling characters like Ellie and Joel. 

I would even like to see some realistic mechanics in games like DayZ or H1Z1 where there are friendlies and there are enemies. Kind of like a faction system, so no one can start killing any random player that cross the god damn road!

Anyways, there is a lot that the game developers can do for the game, but as many know, the players and gamers are tired of the zombie concept. Well, I hope something comes out of the idea. And 'til next time...

Hello Wondering Traveler! Okay, I know what you're going to say, "But this guy was a rip off of Duke Nukem!" I can tell you this guy came 2 years before him and he was my idol as a kid. 

Now, before I go on with my statement, here's his story: in times of raiding tombs and killing demons, there was more to unravel in the depths of Egypt, and there was a lot to uncover. When some archaeologists found something bizarre. A beacon that summoned aliens known as the Mentals. They hired Serious Sam to save the day. 

Since you know his story, the game was a great hit on my life. The game had some awesome strategies and physics, memorable enemies, and weapons you couldn't wait to try out! The game was the greatest of Arcade Quake. I know a lot of you guys out there are long time fans of Quake Arena, so I know you played the Arcade Arena in Serious Sam! 

The game had a silly and ambitious story, cocky character design, and unreal logic, but that's what made the game so enjoyable! What sucks is that the game was looked over for some time. The game rocketed into fame in it's first entry, but everyone got another game after the second entry. I don't know what it was, but I think it was Nukem that blew him out of the water. 

I heard they made a sequel back in 2009, but it was an underground release, meaning barely anyone knew of existence! And it was fun as hell. I know it was taken off the market after the first few day of release, but it was put back in the market 3 years after in the HD collection... That also came with... This...

A side scrolling  shooter that DID NOT live to it's name. And what does Double D mean? Did a child think of that name or wear the Devs fans of Ed, Edd and Eddy?

All I can say is that the game could have had a different name that Serious Sam. Well, I played some of the company's games and saw that Shadow Warrior had a reboot not too long ago! I played it and it looked like 3D Realms was going to do the same to the rest of the games they made in the past! 

Although it's almost unlikely, I still want to see Sam redeem his name in the history books that our children will read  in the gaming future! Well, on a serious note, since Shadow Warrior is getting a sequel soon, I believe that they might do that. And the game had so many things shouting Serious Sam! 

Just please, 3D Realms! Have Sam be back for just one more time!

I hope you guys like this read and of course I'm not going to leave you without a meme to leave you laughing! 

And as usual...

As we all may know, I love comic books, so how this game has an Onomatopoeia style and comic book style of art, makes me want another in the future. The game is beautiful and the game doesn't dwell on the world's worst scenarios, but goes more on the world's funnest and great times you can have in the apocalypse. 

As the trailer says completely (Don't say this is spoiler, because they say it in the trailer), the people in city drank an energy drink called Overcharge and became a monster-like zombie called the OD (Overcharge Drinkers). Afte hell has broke loose, Scavs are the only human threat. The story is nothing, but an ambitious ride into a hilarity of quests. I mean your respawn just screams jokes and references! This is my favorite respawn animation.

Anyways, the game is funny. I like a funny game and it's something I want in the gaming world. I know some games are getting more and more serious like The Last of Us or the Bioshock series, but I want to see a funny joke to be in there. And if you think of it, the game kind of reminds me of Saints Row 4. 

Anyways, the gameplay is fun. The grinding mechanic is really easy to use, but difficult to master! I mean there can be some real good players out there that I know can get a 100 combo out of one go in the game. 

Oh, and there's a combo mechanic! Kind of hard to remember that when you're busy killing OD's and scavs. It's satisfying to to get the combo meter up and along with power ups that comes with each hero tear. With the combo mechanic, it can enhance the way you can play with abilities called Amps. I guess you call it a hack skill, if you may. You can equip many at at a time to weapons or yourself. And every tear goes to a certain level. But you gotta get moving to keep your 4 tears. You can keep it up by killing OD's or Scavs, grinding, trick grinding, bouncing, grind bouncing, and killing while doing one of the two. It sounds dirty, but it's not. 

Overall, the game has a nice round up. Yeah, you can't take the game seriously when there's a serious cutscene, but the jokes and hilarity you experience is fun. Even my sister likes this game, and she hates games with a trick mechanic!

Well, I would rate this game a 9/10 for the gameplay and an 8.5/10 for a good story. I hoped you liked this and I hope you enjoy this game when you get it for free for gold. So, lets get drunk on Overcharge...

And 'til next time...

Welcome Wondering Traveler and welcome to a small talk to the people who read my stuff. I know most of you guys out there, and I can believe this statement myself, like to read my Top 10's better than my wacky gaming stories, things I have to say about gaming, or even my reviews! I mean I can tell by the views.

And I think that's totally cool, but as you may have noticed or even stopped reading because of that, but I have hardly any that have been posted! I'm sorry that haven't done that, and I wish I could do that because I love doing it! It's just (As many of you may know) my computer basically died on me and have to use this labtop to do any form of blogging! 

And don't forget this labtop is a god damn school Chrome Book! So everytime I bring this thing to school when I have a Post to Blog tab open, the school internet just corrupts it! And when I have actual text in it, the computer rejects it like some kind of error, giving me the error page. And when this thing just escapes the internet at home somehow, it begins think the text is corrupted and I have to clean this thing with a cleaning software and if that don't work, I have to get an anti-virus installed from my USB. But none of that works on either the bad school internet or when my internet WeeFee shuts down. Yeah... I call it WeeFee, Don't Judge. 

Now, for more info on what I'm writing next is two Top 10's that might redeem the old blogs I had that were plain ugly. I hope you like them and I hope they freaking post. And as usual...

Hello Wondering Traveler and welcome to this entry of a Community Writing Challenge! After playing only one entry of the game, God of War, I was hoping the next game would explore other mythological tales. 

The Mystical Creatures

There is a lot of legends and tales of creatures that hunt man and kill for their bloodlust and I want this God of War game to explore. In Norse history, there is a creature of pure beauty call Nymphs. In Greece Mythology, they were hunters that lure any man with beauty and drown them. After killing their prey, they would feast on him. In Norse Mythology, they are simple shape-shifting females that turn into anything of nature. Some were guides for travelers and when they were lost in the snow or sea. 

Some people confuse them with Mermaids, but that is something a Nymph isn't, since they are like sharks in water. Somewhat like the Greece's Nymphs, but they hypnotize men by making them follow the Mermaid done the sea's depths until they die from suffocation. There is a lot of death in Mythology involving water, huh? 

Real Kratos...?

Okay, what I hear is that the new Kratos, (Or Viking Kratos as most call him) I want know what happened to the other Kratos. I mean, it would be kind of a let down if he was the same Kratos fighting another set of gods. I would like to know that a man bested him in battle and had his curse cross over to his opponent at Kratos's defeat. And this opponent carries his marks that haunts him or something like that. I would like to see another Kratos, in my Opinion. 

The Gods' Tales

I love the tales of any god. I just adore the weird tales they have. The one I'd like to see is Thor's Tale

No, not that Thor, I mean the Norse God Thor, where he is on the quest that is similar to Hercules. Okay, not all of it, I don't want to see Thor become a woman and try to seduce the Orc King to get his hammer back. Yes, that's all true. The one thing I would be excited for is fighting the Serpent of the World. I think that's name, but it was believed to be a Serpent that wraps around the world and causes the world's pain and suffering. Thor tries to kill it, but fails each time. I would like to see Kratos show Thor off. That battle might be as epic as the Hydra boss. 

Weapons of the Gods

What I'm wondering is what this game might give us to fight? I know that they're going to give us the Chain Blades back, I know that for sure, but through each boss, they had some kind of weapon. Hercules had the fist gauntlets, so what of the Norse Gods? I know that Thor's Hammer will be one of them, but what will be the rest? I want to know!

I hope you enjoyed this little read, and what do you think can happen in the next God of War? Are you mad because I only played on of the 3 God of Wars games out? Tell me in the comments! Wow... That's something I hadn't said in a while! I don't like it... 

Well, as usual...

Good Games! Where for art thou, Good Games! For we miss the.

Hello Wondering Traveler and welcome to our peaceful joyride that is my thoughts! In gaming legends, the world of which we live in, we crave the best out of the developers and designers. Since the days of games such as Legend of Zelda, Metroid, or even Metal Gear Solid, has died down. We aren't getting what we need out of what's out there. 

The games that basically shut us off from the game's origins...

And even games that just told us that expect no more...

We are losing hope on anything good from any developer. Nintendo is going downhill as they try to revive some of their older games. TriForce Heroes was a let down with the Mandatory Multiplayer option, we're hoping Metroid Federation is what we want, and the choice of a female Link is making us questioning what was Nintendo thinking. 

We are worried, scared! That the next generation of gaming will go down in obscurity. But from what we are getting, the generation we are all fearing is turning around now! Although, a gentle bump can frighten us, but that was just a small bump. We can get more of those great games! 

Games's like Doom

Recore

Overwatch

Battleborn

and many, many others are coming soon! Although, many would say that they're not the best games, but they're getting us there. Truly, I miss those days, and I'm finally getting the feeling back from these games! 

For those people that feel my pain or greater pain than what I have, just know that we're going back to the path of legends. And the question will finally be answered. Hope you liked this read and 'til next time...
