I made a Twitter account, and mostly because most of them encourage me to, but I don't really use it because I don't necessarily understand how it works lol. Perhaps some time in the app will help me understand, but it is my most-unused social media by far.

He's on his way to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia now lol

I have also been into Megadeath, Metallica, and some Amaranthe. I also dapple in more modern versions of metal such as Korn, Avenged Sevenfold, and even Three Days Grace. This one could arguably be considered hard rock though because they're not as 'intense' as, say, Korn.

I usually write and read a lot. I tend to write novels more than poems, but I have written a handful of those as well. I also am into drawing, listening to music, and acting. So I am able to find lots of ways to keep myself entertained! I also visit with my friends a lot whenever my schedule allows for it!   

The other day I had Starbuck's Pumpkin Spice Latte. I'm all about pumpkin spice but I really enjoy it in autumn. Their latte is good but I have found it can sometimes taste like 'chap stick', as I like to say, or it loses some of that spice flavor. This can be corrected with an extra pump of the pumpkin spice flavoring for a Grande size or 2 extra pumps for a Venti! Definitely works for me!

@Bomber Man
Maybe creepy, but I feel it's more suspenseful

@BLUEVOODU
The concept could be boring to others, and I can especially see this with the open-ended exploration. It's a game that paces itself at your tempo.

Thank you @Jack !

Just chowed down on some homemade blueberry pancakes and coffee. Yummm!

I've always thought the bunny one was cute.

I am currently drinking Gevalia Colombian blend, which is one of my favorites. I usually drink this one or Donut Shoppe, especially when I'm gaming If you maybe don't enjoy the robust flavor, adding a splash of milk is also very good.

@mastermario Thank you very much!

@Kinikko , @retro junkie , @CreepinDeth Thank you all for the welcomes! 

@Bomber Man thank you for the kind welcome, and I'll enjoy seeing you around!

Hello everybody,

My name is Princess Peach, and I'm a new member to the CDG community. I've written a few posts already in the Retro gaming section, but I hope to branch out here soon. I've just had a lot of fun with retro gaming.  I hope you all will enjoy my posts, and a thank you to those who already have read them!

I'm excited to see all the new characters and layouts! If it's good enough, it may have the potential to replace my current favorite - Mario Party 5. I talked about 5 and other versions in my latest post, so I'm excited to see how this new release turns out!

@Bomber Man  It really is a good version! I wonder if others feel the same about it, or if the other Mario Party's have become more "popular".

Ok,so I must say that I absolutely love this game with a die hard passion. Although infamous for its ability to end friendships due to fighting, it has been a  huge hit with me and my friends. The mini games are the best part in my view. I love Mario Party 5 more than the more current versions, such as Mario Party 10 for the Wii U. I just didn't get into the whole wagon concept, and the mini games weren't as fun as the ones in 5. This is probably because I grew up playing Mario Party 5, so it will always have a special place with me.

The graphics aren't much to brag about, but this is expected due to the lovely graphics we have today. My character of choice has always been Princess Peach, who has really been one of my favorite Nintendo characters. I can't say that I've had a whole lot of victories, but on a couple of occasions I've won the glorious Superstar award that everyone seems to fight to the death for

What have been some of your funny Mario Party moments, wins, or even fails? Comment with your story, and feel free to ask a question! I'd love to hear about all of your guys' Mario Moments.

Hey all, here is my sequel post on Endless Ocean as promised. Endless Ocean: Blue World came out about two years after the original, and I have to say the second one is my favorite. In fact, I tend to play it way more than the first. For Blue World, the concept of diving and exploring is exactly the same. However, there are some details that were changed that I find quite amusing.

First, there were some additions to the diving map. They allow you to travel to other seas around the world, which I like because I personally enjoy a change in scenery and adventure. The different areas to explore include the Arctic, South America, trenches, and other tropical seas. Each location has unique creatures and treasures to explore, including but not limited to a sunken palace.

Another added feature I liked was the more in-depth missions. There were other characters that came into play as you went along with the game, and it really added to the experience. It felt like I had more of a goal to accomplish as the game went on, and there was a point where I played it daily for an entire two weeks. The graphics were about the same, but the different environments in each sea kept things interesting. 

And of course I can't leave out the sharks. What's fun in this game is that the sharks actually attack you. Again, there's no gore or blood, but the sharks will charge your character while intense music plays. You have to tame them with the pulsar gun before they reduce all your oxygen, but the task can be quite the feat. This is partly because the sharks swipe you with their tails and momentarily stun you. The shark feature in this version is much more interactive, and I thoroughly enjoy it.

Endless Ocean: Blue World is very fun to play, and it takes the original version to the next step. The different environments in the 9 different seas are an element that I really liked, along with the adventures I encountered beneath the water (no spoilers ). Blue World is my favorite of the two because of its interactive nature and further attention to detail. I would definitely recommend it, especially if you enjoyed the first. Feel free to comment with questions or thoughts!

Hey guys, so I've been playing Endless Ocean for the past few years and I thought it'd be worth sharing.  If you're unfamiliar with Endless Ocean, it's a diving game where your objectives are to explore and cover the map. But of course it's also more than that. What makes it unique is its attention to detail with the sea creatures and other features you encounter. The graphics are pretty good, but the avatar does walk around kind of funny. The controls may take a moment to accustom to, but once you have the hang of the controls it's pretty smooth sailing from there - no pun intended.

A favorite feature of mine - well, really I have mixed feelings about it - is the shark encounters. As a kid when I would play this, this feature freaked me out. It wasn't gory or bloody, but I'm pretty sure suspenseful music plays as these sharks head-butt your avatar. You have to pulsar them, or tame them, with the pulsar gun before they reduce all the oxygen in your tank. It's fun to experience now but as a kid it just always made me anxious - to the point I'd toss down the controller and go running.

It's a fun game for those who like the ocean and diving, as well as games with missions. There are occasional missions to complete, but it isn't based off of completing levels like Mario. The game is very kid friendly, unless they'll freak out when the waters get dark like I did. I still enjoyed it despite that! The only slightly negative thing I'd have to mention is that the controls can be a little weird to figure out or work with sometimes. This is mainly because you steer the character around by moving a blue dot around the screen with the Wii controller and not the buttons. It's not a huge, recurring issue but it can be awkward making the character walk or sometimes diving into small crevices. It may take a few tries.

Thanks for reading and feel free to comment if you have any questions, want more details, or have played this fun game yourself! I definitely recommend it because it allows you to interact with and view digital wildlife that accurately depicts the real thing. I will be posting about the second release - 'Endless Ocean: Blue World'- shortly, so keep an eye out for it if you enjoyed this commentary!
