My Thoughts on This Video Game Console Generation.

Hey guys,

Today I’m going to be giving you what I think about this generation of video gaming. Honestly, I don’t even think this gen is the next-gen. It just seems like an extension of the last gen. Nothing innovative has been given to us except for the WiiU gamepad from nintendo. Plus, some of the new games that are coming out, like COD Ghosts for example. The game got TERRIBLE reviews, with an average consumer rating of 5.3/10 for xbox one and a 5.7/10 on the PS4 (not to mention a 2.7/10 on the PC).  To be fair, there were some great titles like Super Mario 3D World and Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag, both getting an average consumer rating of 10/10. So far, the best selling console of this gen is the WiiU, selling 5.6 million units. The worst selling console so far of this gen however, is the Xbox One, selling 3.3 million units. Which isn’t surprising due to the online and voice commands being broken and it being WAY over priced (500 USD) when it has worse hardware than a much cheaper (by 100 USD)  alternative, the PlayStation 4. Which by the way is the middle selling console of the gen, with 4.7 million units sold. So, which console do I think is gonna win this war? I think it will be the WiiU or PS4, it’s very hard to tell. For the WiiU, the new Super Smash Bros. and new Mario Kart are coming out. Which, if you are a gamer, you know is a very big deal, and will drastically boost WiiU sales. People have actually said that they would get the WiiU just For the new Super Smash Bros. or just the new Mario Kart. For the PS4, there won’t be any smash hits, like the WiiU will get, but it still offers better hardware, and a better user interface than the WiiU, PLUS, it has better graphics. Still, the WiiU is a great system and it’s a lot of fun. Miiverse is a great tool for users to interact with each other, and it was a great idea. To sum it all up, I think that this generation so far, is an extension of the last, but in the future, I think it will change and actually become next gen. What do you think about the new video gaming gen? Leave a comment and tell me what you think. Also feel free to like, share, and follow. Bye, see you in my next post!

Top 4 Video Game CreepyPastas

4. Herobrine

This picture is an in-game screenshot of a player seeing herobrine

Coming in at number 4 is a scary minecraft creepypasta. Back in 2009, somebody was playing minecraft when they saw another player off in the distance. At first glance, the other player looked like it had the default minecraft skin (steve), but when the person looked closer, he saw that it had no eyes. He sent the picture to MOJANG (minecraft creators/developers) and it went viral. Within weeks everybody was posting screenshots and youtube videos of them finding/seeing Herobrine. It’s been years now, and everybody knows that it’s fake. We’ve all come to the conclusion that Herobrine is either a hoax, or that MOJANG actually created Herobrine and used it to make minecraft more popular or they thought it would be fun to start a rumor. Anyway, Herobrine still creeps me out till this day. I have watched many videos on it, and they always have creepy music playing and they sometimes even jump scare you. If you want to learn more about Herobrine, or see some videos or pictures of Herobrine sightings, you could just google ‘Herobrine’ and millions of results will come up.

3. The Tails Doll

“The Tails Doll” is a very scary creepypasta about Sonic R, a launch title for the Sega Saturn. After the release of the original creepypasta, people started making disturbing fanart, and videos claiming that the tails doll was a real living thing.  There were also reports of people having horrible seizures playing as the tails doll in sonic R, saying it was due to the song “Can You feel the sunshine” that plays over and over on every single track in the game, along with all of trippy patterns you see. Some people say it’s the tails doll giving people seizures, based on the fact that in EVERY SINGLE person that reports having a seizure while playing the game, state that they were playing as the tails doll.  The most ridiculous complaints and videos are people saying that the tails doll actually comes out of your tv or computer screen, and tries to kill you. If you want to read the original creepypasta, go here. And if you want to see one of the creepy videos about the tails doll, go here.

Since I can’t write the whole story on this one post, and anything else I say about it wont make sense without the rest of the story. So, here’s the link to the story. Trust me, this story is creepy.

1. Ben Drowned

Coming in at number 1 is a good ol’ Majora’s Mask creepypasta. There is so much to this story, that I can’t put it all in this post, so I’ll just tell you the beginning. The story starts with a teenager that bought an N64 off of Ebay, and is looking for a game to get for it. He starts looking at yard sales, and finally at one he sees a Majora’s Mask cartridge. The old man that was running the yard sale made an offer, and the teen bought it.  After the teen gets the cartridge he speeds back home, eager to play Majora’s mask. When he gets to the file menu, there is only one file called: BEN. Not caring,  the kid deletes the file, not knowing what he has done… To continue the the story, go to this link. And if you wanna see the video, go to this link.

My Cats!

This is a post about my cats Rocko and Jasper! They’re really cute, playful and insanely crazy. Jasper and Rocko are twin brothers, and best friends. They are always chasing/fighting each other, playfully, of course. If you’re wondering what Rocko and Jasper look like, here are two pictures that show them:
