Update

Hello fellow and non-fellow gamers this post is a bit different from my others. As of right now, this is just an update as in what's going on with the blog. Me to address and inform you all about the classics, such as the little game of pong. To the addictive colorful blocks and its amazing music that echoes for centuries. I'm just some kid on the internet here to give you a little history lesson about some games. Nothing too special going on here really this is just for fun. Though I will gladly take suggestions from anyone and answer any questions about the classics and anything else of the sorts. I will try to post whenever I have time besides school and my personal life taking up too much time. There will be no official schedule post for this blog though I will make one at least a week hopefully. I will keep this blog alive as long as I can because it is something I truly enjoy and fancy.  Some post will be long and others will be short depending on the topic. I don't know if this blog will grow or not depending on if you really like my post. If there are any suggestions on what I can do to better this blog, please comment down below or email me. I am willing to make this blog content and format better, feedback from you is always appreciated. Good or bad there is always something to approve one. Thank you all for taking the time and reading what I have to say. This is your fellow chap Ricky Rodas Munoz signing out and good day to you all!

Gamer on The Go

Do you ever wish to play a game on the go? Yes, there is the 3ds and the use of your phone. But do you ever just want to play the classics on the go. Like the NES, the GB (Game Boy) and the GBC (Game Boy color) It's just you don't wanna carry around the block of a Game Boy if you even have one. Same with the NES you have to have some luck to find a good condition one. Then all the extra stuff with finding the cartridge. Too much money for something that may be broken and hard to find. That's why I suggest you get the BittBoy. What is the BittBoy you may ask? Why it is shaped like the Game Boy, as small as your hand, and will let you play NES, GB, and GBC games all on the go. This ain't no advertisement for it, this is just an honest recommendation saying you should go check it out of you're interested. I left a link for it on the name if you wanna check it out.

Heres how it looks like pretty small if you ask me. There aren't any games downloaded onto it, you have to go and download it yourself with an SD micro card. It can be off of any emulator website that has Roms. For the NES, GB, and the GBC off of any website that have any. All you have to do is type in " Roms for GB" Or whatever and you'll get some good results. After you get the games you want there is a little slot for the SD micro card. Turn on the  BittBoy and just start playing. It comes with its own charger and a cable if you wanna play it on the TV. This one is better than most because of its saving feature. Most bootleg and unofficial handheld Roms don't have a feature like that, so its amazing for one to have a feature like that. There are videos of people reviewing it on  YouTube if you wanna get a more in-depth review. There was an earlier test version of this project two years ago I picked it up. It had 300 games installed on it and that was a disaster, half of the games were bootleg some were good but lacked to save the progress. At times the games would crash and the material was iffy. They've obviously improved on a lot of things from and listened to the feedback. A good and honest handheld console on the go. Fellow Gamers here is your game on the go and rise up!

The Term "Gamer"

What does it mean to be a gamer? Someone who is fond of playing video games and who relishes competition. Or just the casual person playing mobile games like Candy Crush. The term gamer originates from old English and of Germanic origin.
Old English Gamen - Amusement or Fun
Germanic - Play and Amuse oneself
Both combining into modern English term today gamer.
(The official definition by Webster) Gamer: 1. a  player who is game especially: an athlete who relishes competition

2. a  person who plays games 

especially: a person who regularly plays computer or video games   

This is the official term of the word gamer. But there is also another definition for the word gamer. The Urban Dictionary term for the word gamer. It is where new or made up words that have a slang term in our society. 

This is the most accurate and slang term to the word gamer. It is the second most popular result of the word gamer. The word is a bit controversial due to the fact that it's aimed towards the muscular group of people. Excluding the feminine group of people to that matter. When is use the term gamer, it's towards someone I know who is fond of games. Usually in Chemistry class is when I and my friend call each other gamer. We both know we play games and its just a fun word to call each other. No offense to one another, just friends being friends. There is the battle cry for gamers the "Gamers Rise up" There is a joke going around for gamers that they are the most oppressed group in society. Obviously, it's just a fun little joke nothing to get hurt over. Everyone knows that gamers aren't the most oppressed group in society. A term that is relevant to teenagers and a couple of older people. Now you know what a gamer is.   Are you a gamer? Has this opened your mind to a whole new world of slang terms? If so then gamers rise up and this society we live in!

What a Steal

Nintendo released a service called, "Nintendo Switch Online" Where you pay to play with people online or games that let you play online. For a year its only twenty dollars! That's a steal and it comes with a whole bunch of NES games for free. The article The Verge, (I recommend to read the article to understand what I am talking about) Is talking about how online can be a great gaming service. Giving you a nostalgic feeling playing an 8-bit game, on a brand new innovated console.

All the hit original classics that made Nintendo a beloved franchise today. The very first ever game, where they introduced Mario ( Originally known as Jump Man in Donkey Kong) Donkey Kong, where you have to jump barrels, climb ladders, and then save the damsel in distress. The Very first The Legend of Zelda game with one of its most iconic words, "It's dangerous to alone! Take this" Metroid, where you're a space bounty hunter trying to kill the alien Mother Brain. With the game being such a hit and inspiration for many others. It created a whole new kind of genre for video games called, "Metroidvania" There are games yet to be added like, Castlevania, and Final Fantasy. Nintendo is still adding games to its list, which seems to be about every month.

Here is the list of what games are currently on Nitnedo Switch Online. 

There have also been rumors about Online getting ready for SNES games. The Switch was recently data mined and people discovered SNES title within the files. A couple of games which were on the SNES Classic and some new ones that were not. It isn't confirmed by Nintendo, but it is most likely happening. Now is the matter of fact when its happening, all we have to do now is wait. The Nintendo Switch is revolutionary and redeemed Nintendo form its Wii U console. Combining the new and the old really makes you see how far each and every single game came. Good or bad it is the roots of Nintendo the beginning of one of the most beloved franchises today.
