Mario Review

This may seem strange that I have decided to write this blog post about one of the most famous video game characters, but I found myself thinking of all the ways that Mario has been redone and remade.

Through out the years we have gone from the first ever Mario, all the way up to Super Mario Galaxy where we find our lovable little Italian where Mario literally travels the final frontier of space, with a few additions and improvements from the creators of the game

Mario was originally made by the Japanese creator Shigeru Miyamoto for the Nintendo and was soon decided to serve as the mascot of Nintendo itself.

Mario games are considered by most as the most popular game series ever created and the franchise has sold over 210 million units. Although Mario was originally designed for the Super Mario series, he was appeared in many other games from the famous Mario Kart all the way to the fun and easy going RPG, Paper Mario.

The main plot theme of the original game of Super Mario is a classic in the gaming world. The helpless princess Peach is captured by the evil Lord Bowser which sets our hero, Mario, into motion to rescue the fair and helpless princess to the best of his abilities.

This will always be one of my favorite game series, and Mario will always be one of my most well loved and favorite video game characters.

You Wouldn't Get Trolled on an Atari...

Welcome back my ever kind shoulders to complain on, I hope that you are once again ready to listen to one of my senseless rants, but this time I have a legitimate to be concerned and I feel the need to share. Trust me.

So, recently I have acquired a new accessory from my Xbox 360 known to us gamers out there (and everyone else) as Xbox Live. Basically Xbox Live is a way to connect with other gamers worldwide on a number of games, the thing is people may seem a but unapproachable and forcibly polite to you, though they may hate you on the inside, but still polite. The thing is, when people don't have to look you in the eye when they're talking to you, they're not afraid to say ANYTHING!

Trolling is a term used to call someone a bully over the internet. Basically when you get trolled it means that someone else, or a group of people, are taking what you say and/or do to make someone else feel bad or stupid. This is a big problem on Xbox Live and there is really no way to avoid being trolled unless you unplug your mic and headset.

The funny thing about Xbox live is the fact that everyone varies in ages from 4-30 and it seems that even those 4 year old children have a pretty good idea when to buck up and stand up for themselves, or when to shut their mouths and let it go.

Xbox Live isn't just a place for fun and games anymore, now it's a place for people to relieve stress and anger by yelling and screaming at strangers that are just trying to have a good time. I know this because I have been trolled before and it really buts a damper on my whole gaming experience.

Well, this wasn't my longest rant, but I thought I should get all that off my chest before I became a troller myself.

Thanks.
