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!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
