Day 5 - Game Character you feel most like

Welcome back all. Here we are, on day five of my videogame challenge. Super surprised I have not missed a beat. But as the clock dials down we should get down into the meat and potatoes of today's topic before we run into tomorrow.

Today's topic is "Game character you feel most like." I seriously have not giving this much thought. The few questions from the past few days it's easy to come up with an answer pretty quickly, especially if your a gamer like I am. I'm always thinking of games I like and why I like them,but this question is a bit off the beaten path though.

With the introduction of Facebook I have loved seeing what pictures people post as their profile picture. From time to time you get some one who has posted a cartoon character that is just like them or has a very clear resemblance. One of my friends looks just like the kid from How to Train Your Dragon. I have really never had this sort of resemblance though. I'm always told I look normal, average.

So this is hard for me, but the challenge is to pick someone. So I'm going to go with the...



Kid from Bastion. The thing I like the Kid is he is a silent protaganist and when I'm not rambling on this blog I'm usually pretty quiet. The Kid is forced into this world ending calamity and spends the whole game silently saving the world and constantly narrated by an elder gentlemen. I guess I connect with the Kid because he is a guy who does what he has to do, even if it is alone. He is contemplative as well as complex. I guess I see those traits in myself as well.

While quite the interesting topic today. Stay tuned tomorrow for another day in this 30 day challenge, and leave your thoughts below in comment form.
Cheers!

PrE3 - What we know and predictions

This article was featured in the latest issue of Wingman Magazine. Check out this preview and for the full piece support this local publication and grab a digital copy.  http://www.wingmanmagazine.com E3 is the biggest games show of the year, each year bringing the biggest announcements and painting the gaming landscape for the next twelve or more. In this internet age, it's hard to keep things under wraps, so a lot of companies will divulge, or unfortunately get leaked their plans, but we are always a fan of a good surprise. So here is everything we know about E3, and then some pretty good guesses that we hope will come true. I’m going to break this down by publisher because they each have a big presentation where most of their announcements will happen. Microsoft Microsoft made waves this year by moving their big showing up from their typical Monday time slot to Sunday 5PM Eastern time and beat out the other big competitors. Being a console maker, this show is guarant

Day 2 - Favorite Character

Now you'd think that I'd put some thought into this before I start typing, but I just woke up and saw today's writing prompt. And when I say writing prompt I mean my writing prompt. If you want to join in and do this 30 day challenge you don't need to do such a big spectical as I am doing. The other guys I know that have done it just did a picture and a sentence or two. So it's pretty free form, don't feel boxed in. But on to my favorite character. For the longest time I played RPG's pretty exclusively, which lends its self to some great stories and in turn some great characters. Final Fantasy VI was one of my first RPG's and I loved  one of the main characters, Locke. He was a pretty bad ass guy. Mario games have always been fun, but there isn't much to his character. Having played all the Halo games pretty religiously I never connected with Master Chief either. I feel like most of the games I play now are more about the game mechanics than the ch

30 Day Videogame Challenge

Hey all! Here is the surprise you have all been waiting for. Actually quick quiz, how many people reading this actually were looking forward to this surprise? Leave a one word comment below if you could. You can comment anonymously so you all have no excuse. Back to what I was saying, the big surprise is that I'm going to do the 30 Day Videogame Challenge. It's not as challenging as the title sounds, but fun none the less. A few friends of mine did this what must have been a year ago, and I told them all I would do it too. So here I am, fulfilling that promise. The 30 Day Videogame Challenge is a list of videogame moments that I'm going to tailor to my own life. The first one is "What was your first videogame?" They are not terribly hard, but it's nice to look back on all the games I have played in my life and tell that story. So to kick things off "What was your first videogame?" Obviously thinking back this far is a bit tough. I mean I was
