For whatever reason, I love Thursdays. They're always the best days for me, and I feel motivated to do things. Except for this Thursday, I just want to sit around and play video games. Which is gonna be the topic of this blog since that's what I'm thinking about.
When I was growing up I played all sorts of video games. My favorite game when I was tiny was probably Sonic or Star Fox. I also played the crap out of some Perfect Dark and Goldeneye. Donkey Kong was another one that took up a lot of my time. And Mario of course. Nintendo, Sega, Nintendo 64. Ahhh, the good old days. When I was a little bit older, and when I say older I mean 8, I discovered The Legend of Zelda. I automatically fell in love with that game, and that game and I, we've been bffs since the first day I played it. I do not think I've ever been more obsessed with anything in my life.
Basically Zelda (if you've not played) has the same idea as Mario. You always play as Link (a young Kokiri boy) and every game's plot somehow has to do with you saving the princess of Hyrule, Zelda. And the bad guy you have to fight's name is Ganondorf. So It's like the whole Mario saving Peach from Bowzer type thing. But, Zelda always has really amazing plots, and all the games connect together somehow. The most recent Zelda, Skyward Sword, was supposed to be like how it all began and whatnot. Pullin' a Star Wars on us I guess. Anyway, Zelda is INCREDIBLE and if you ever need a new game to play, and have not yet played it, I highly suggest it. But I do suggest you play Ocarina of Time first. It's not technically first on the Hyrule history timeline, but it's still the best IMO!
Speaking of Star Wars a second ago, I don't know why everyone is making such a big deal (negative) out of the fact that Disney bought it out. Disney is an amazing company, and they make fantastic movies. And to be honest, the last 3 Star Wars movies kinda sucked anyway. Just sayin'.
But that's off topic. The most recent game that I've gotten into is Skyrim, and I absolutely love it. It's so fun and I can completely relax when I play it. It's got that medieval feel that I love. I'm a complete middle ages nerd to be honest with you. Zelda also kinda has that feel to it as well. I enjoy studying the middle ages, just in my free time. Yep. Nerd. I went to my first renaissance festival a few months ago and it was absolutely incredible! Had the time of my life because I was totally in my element. In fact, there was a booth set up where a guy was selling Ocarinas from Zelda! There was also a booth where a guy was selling his hand painted pictures, and the majority of them was scenes from Lord of the Rings! (my favorite series) I could go on and on about LOTR, but I wont. Anyway, I ended buying two of those.
but yeah, I love video games, and I think they're great and I hate how people say they're unhealthy for you. If I didn't have them to relax, I'd probably be having anxiety attacks every second. Plus, most those people who say they're unhealthy are people who live for reality tv shows, or just tv in general, so suck it tv people!
Imma go play Skyrim now. :D
