Dream Drop Distance

Article yo

Kingdom Hearts 3DS, otherwise know as Dream Drop Distance, is the newest Kingdom Hearts game on the move to be released next. It is set in time between re:Coded and the ever awaiting Kingdom Hearts 3. Though Square Enix has been pushing 3 back and back, they keep coming out with little spin-off titles for handhelds, Dream Drop Distance being one. I find the game to look magnificent and I honestly can't wait for it.
This article is just a basic review of what it's about and the game style, introducing new and interesting ways to play. The spin-off handhelds always have unique battle systems and differ from the console games. Being for the new 3DS, this game should be a huge hit and the day it comes out can't come any faster.

Skyward Sword = Awesome

SKYWARD SWOOOOOOORD

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword recently came out, and though I have yet to obtain it, I can already tell how amazing it is by friends tell me and reading articles like this. While game franchises go on, the games in the series sometimes get worse and worse there it gets to the point of everyone saying "Just stop already, you're embarrassing yourself." As for LoZ, they just get better and better. Skyward Sword is a great example of this, sayings being that it's better than Ocarina of Time which was previously titled as the best LoZ game.
Skyward Sword utilizes the Wii Motion Plus feature to make actual sword-fighting more realistic. It's a huge step up from the previous Twilight Princess for Wii by using this feature. You feel like you're actually the one fighting monsters, not controlling a guy fighting monsters. Overall, Skyward Sword is an awesome game and if you're a Legend of Zelda fan this is definitely a must-have.

Video Games = Creativity


A study has shown that if you play video games you are more likely to be more creative than those who don't. I would personally agree with this study. I myself play video games a lot more than I should I think myself to be very creative in situations. The vast world that video games produce can expand our minds to other things and let us recreate these worlds and incorporate them into real life creativeness.
Video games are the masters of creativity. Every game has a different story, different characters, etc. Because of this we can learn from them and let our creativity run wild and show it off in school or other places. People may say video games rot your brain, but it's actually making it grow, in the creative spots at least.

Smartphones and iPads can "mush" toddler's brains?

Link it up.

According to this article, the screens of your smartphones or iPads can hurt your toddlers' brains. It is said that you should keep their eyes away from TV screens if they're 2 or younger, but what about handheld screens? The American Academy of Pediatrics say they can do the same kind of damage as a TV screen. Though this may be true, how could you get away with interactive toys with screens and such? Wouldn't it be the same thing?
Personally, if you're going to let a toddler play with a toy meant for it with a screen, there shouldn't be any problems with them watching TV or an iPad. If the danger was that bad they wouldn't market off those kinds of toys. If it keeps them entertained and happy, let them watch their shows.

Will Ferrell is Awesome

Yo dawg here's a link.

Funny man Will Ferrell recently won the Mark Twain prize for American Humor from the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts last Sunday. This prize was well awarded, and I believe he deserves it well. Will Ferrell has always been one of my favorite comedic actors and this just goes to show how funny he is. I've seen almost all his movies and they're all hilarious. His SNL skits are a riot as well.

It was actually his George W. Bush impression he did on SNL that sealed the deal. It went on to be an act on Broadway and be a huge success. His website FunnyorDie.com is always a big input on his career and the winning of this award. All in all, Will Ferrell is an amazingly funny man and deserved every piece of this award more than any other.

TERRA NURRRRRRRRVA is bad.


My final thoughts on Terra Nova? Terra Bada is more like it. Zing~
But no really. This show wasted so much money and resources. It had so much potential and they didn't use it the way the should. Bad acting, bad storylines, just bad. It's really disappointing, because I had such high hopes for this show and it failed me. I will not continue watching this show, and i'm glad I don't have to. I can't take the terribleness that is Terra Nova much longer, especially when I anticipated this show so much before. Terra Nova had so many directions they could have gone with this, and they took one of the worst routes. This show will recieve the official Mark of Fail, enforced upon by myself.

TERRA NURRRRRRRVA WHAT REMAINS YEAH!



So the new episode of Terra Nova aired this week. And what are my thoughts on it? Absolutely apalling. It was another episode based around one huge problem that they were able to solve by the end of the episode. In another words, 1-2 days show-time. It's gotten so unoriginal it's just plain bad. And they're not even scared of the dinoaurs anyore hardly, and they just got there, it's only the third episode. The whole concept of the episode wasn't even good. It makes me glad this was the last episode I have to watch, because this show was a complete waste. Don't get me wrong, the scenery and special effects are great, but the acting and storyline went from good to bad all within 3 episodes.
