My Formulative Years With The GameCube

  My Very First Video Game Console The 6th generation of consoles contains a steep amount of monumental moments in video game history stored within them. The Sega Dreamcast would mark Sega’s final attempt at the console market, before they would retire from the competition and become a 3rd party publisher. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Microsoft would take its first steps into the console market with the launch of the original Xbox. The absolute juggernaut of the generation however was Sony’s PlayStation 2 (PS2). It’s backwards compatibility with the original PlayStation, stellar launch window lineup containing heavy hitters such as Metal Gear Solid 2 and Final Fantasy X , and the ability to play DVDs at a time where those where the hot ticket item with DVD players costing a premium, all contributed to the PS2 dominating the market and becoming the highest selling console in video game history. With so much going on in the background of this generation, the Nintendo GameCub...

X's Unending Internal Struggle: A Battle Between Conflicting Ideals and Actions

"X" is the first in a new generation of robots which contain an innovative new feature - the ability to think, feel, and make their own decisions. However, this ability could be very dangerous. If "X" were to break the first rule of robotics, "A Robot Must Never Harm A Human Being" the results would be disastrous and I fear that no force on Earth could stop him. Approximately 30 years will be required before we can safely confirm his reliability. Unfortunately, I will not live to see that day, nor do I have anyone to carry out my work. Therefore, I have decided to seal him in this capsule which will test his internal systems until his reliability has been confirmed. Please do not disturb the capsule until that time. "X" possesses great risks as well as great possibilities. I can only hope for the best. September 18th, 20XX T.

My 5 Desert Island/Forever Games

  We’re lucky to live in a time where we have access to a seemingly unlimited amount of games at any moment. Whether it be via our consoles, handhelds, or PCs; we can access any number of games both old and new at any moment. But what if we were put in a position where we were limited in that regard? The idea of having 5 desert island/forever games has been discussed online for a while now, though the main thing that brought my mind to this question was watching Scott the Woz’s video on the subject recently. The question never really gets uninteresting. If you could only play 5 games and those 5 games only for the rest of your life, what would they be? What makes this hypothetical different from just asking someone for their 5 favorite games is that it asks a person to consider what games they find to be infinitely replayable. A game being in a person's top 5 might not automatically be the best possible choice when you can only play 5 games forever. Say someone’s favorite game e...
