Bringing Back my "Old- School" Video Games

Bring 'em on out!

Bringing Back my "Old- School" Video Games
OnlineGadgetStore

Recently, in my long, never-ending move, I had discovered some older video games(and consoles) that I had in my possession. Of course, I packed them and brought them to my new home with me. While unpacking, it was only natural to give those old school games I packed a try, right? Now, don't get me wrong, I love new video games, and new "call of duting" as much as anybody else, but nothing will beat some old school games and consoles. I tried out a few so far.

**These might not be old school, to you but these are my opinions.**

1.) Wii- New Super Mario Bros. Wii

Now, I know what you're thinking. "There's a ton of Mario games what one are you talking about? Blah, blah, and blah." Well, everybody will know this one because it's the one that comes from Wii that is in an ALL red case! On this one, you have to go through 8 worlds (spoiler alert) sometimes 9 worlds. While going through challenges, just picture your everyday Mario game. We have the question boxes, coins everywhere, and a couple mushroom people (Toads) following you along the way.

2.) PS3- Call of Duty Black Ops 1- Zombies

The original 4, Dempsey, Nikolai, Takeo, and Richtofen. Currently, on my ps4 (Black Ops 3) , I do love zombies more than anything. I am obsessed with the game mode, but I have to admit, nothing will beat the original. I love the first map "Keno" (with the theater.) The original perks and the mystery box guns are OP. You could never lose if you got the original ray gun, of course, it would start making crawlers on the higher rounds, but still the gun you would wish for every time you hit that box.

3.) Wii- Guitar Hero 3

Ahh-- my childhood and horrid middle school days are being reimagined. I used to come home every day and spend hours on this game. The songs on this are the reasons why I recognize them on the radio today. "Barracuda" was the absolute best, and every girl that ever played was obsessed with being the character with the pink hair. I also blame this song for my obsession with the song "Devil Went Down to Georgia."

4.) Wii- Mario Kart

Y'all knew this one was coming. Who wasn't obsessed with this game growing up? Whether it was on the Wii, or the Nintendo DS, you played this game over and over. My favorite character was Dry Bones, and playing this game brought back memories of people who played me throwing their controllers. ( I was a Mario Kart champ-- at least I thought I was at the time.) Replaying this game made me realize I got a little rusty, but you can always shake off the rust. PSA Rainbow Road is the reason I have anger issues. Just kidding. I think.

5.) PS4- Rock Band4

Yup... this ones not so "old school," but I shoved this game in my closet back at the old house, and now at the new house, i've been playing it for 2 days straight. Honestly, any rock band is the "ish" and who doesn't love making a band with your bros? Just don't go into a "friendly" competition that's when instruments fly.

And--that's old school to me. Those games were my childhood, and now I am obsessed with them once again. Hope this inspired you to pull out a Wii Gamecube, PS2, PS3, Xbox360, or something else along those lines, keep gaming everybody!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
