I'm back.... so there is that.

I decided it is time to start posting on all my good, old, channels of media. I've decided it is time to play some games, rather than just roll around in my piles of money (it got old after awhile). So instead of doing this on a set schedule, I wanted to start by just uploading a few videos/posts/reviews a month. Not a lot, I want to start out slow.


As a bonus announcement I think I will start out a small sub blog, dedicated entirely on the course I am taking. Basically I'll be doing some things with calculus to start, I don't know exactly how I want to do that, but it will be a thing! (maybe)
Anyway I hope you (reader) stay around for the time to come will be fun!

Books and Gaming (Idea)

I just had an idea, might not be new but whatever, what if you were playing a game, let's say skyrim, and you just started a quest. The quest was a simple go to cave kill goblin king deal, it is also a quest related to the main story. So you are just about to start it and you have to leave, I don't know pick up a package, so you grab your phone and tablet and head over to UPS, only to be told you have to wait 10 minutes for processing. So of corse you whip out your tablet and start that quest you left off at home in skyrim.

What I mean is what if reading on the tablet aided your questline in skyrim. You open up this book, and suddenly your skyrim character's stats are loaded up, and you begin one of those old fashioned "Choose Your Adventure" things. Where each choice has a certain number of choices connected to it and so on. Okay weird senario but it would promote kids to read.

How about you found a book on a cave floor, and reading it (I mean actually reading it not just scrolling through it) told you where special weapons were? So your game doesn't have to wait at home, nor do you have to buy a super fancy device to get special items. Each code for the app would be given with the game.

Okay so now the package you wanted is finally ready, you head home, happy to have killed that Goblin King, so now you just hook up your tablet with the consol or PC, and sync it up, or have a cloud set up for it where you can update online even if you are away from the consol.

I might be thinking outside the box, or even with my head in someone else's box so please give me your thoughts.

Could this help illiterate children?
Or Would this just be another waste of money?

Quick update

Did another review of an indie game, you guys need to check it out. Quick post today, I need to edit it and get it online tonight.

Well well well we meet again 64bit

So, I used my vast quantity of wealth to procure about 30 N64 games. Of corse I know they won't hold up to any current games but that not what I'm buying them for. I am buying them simply to play with friends, and maybe even start retro posting on my channel.

Support IndieRoyale

Just like the humble indie bundle this website gets indie games known. If a bundle of games for a low price doesn't get your indie muscle flexing than I don't know what will? OH how about this current one  has To The Moon, a tear jerking indie game that pewdiepie made really popular when he played it. Now unlike Humble Bundle the profits do NOT go to charity, which is not necessary a horrid thing, but it's would add a bit more buying points. Also unlike Humble the only way you can actually buy it is by paying the average price, insuring that there is no 0.01 doouchers who moouch on the cheap system.

Also when you pay a certain amount (Around $8) you can unlock the album(s) and extra games. And most of the games are no DRM so you can "Share them between your computers" and totally not send them to your friend who loaned you $10 so you could buy lunch for this chick because you forgot your wallet last Monday.

Anyway if you are a firm supporter in anything indie with a tight wallet this is right up your alley!

Quest for Nostalgia!

So, lately I've been digging through my old games with great disgust. Seeing the piles of bad games, that I have no desire to play is sad, but that I found it. The greatest creation mankind has ever made. The N64! So I decided, to hook it up. By god, I've been spoiled by the decadence of new games, auto aim, auto run, I AM LAZY GAM3R!

I am looking into building my own comp, as you all know, but I am going to be recording consol gaming as well, to save on costs. You will defiantly be seeing me play retro games, and because my parents didn't buy me every new game when I was young, I only have 5 N64 games, so if you wanna send me some, i'll pay you! I just want to get as many games as I can for my old consol.

MrFidelmios V. Reddit

So upon the spark of curiosity, and the prodding of a friend I joined reddit. I figured here was a GREAT place to show my experience and I will have no holding back on what happened. This was a side note journal I kept to show you guys how my Reddit life went.

Day 1: Odd layout, confusing, impossible to find help page, impossible to navigate, rules page hidden.

Day 2:  Finding topics, and exploring. Found r/Gaming, turned off the comp early, didn't want to spoil the fun, wanted stuff to explore!

Day 3: Finding more and more topics, I LOVE THIS SITE!! 

Day 4: First Posting...

Day 5: First couple comments, made a few friends, and a few haters

Day 6:  Post got 5 downvotes, but why? 

I'm going to stop for a second a talk a bit about Reddit's Karma system. One can either up, or downvote a post, link, thread, comment ect. The overall number of number of up and downs are calculated and plopped on your user profile. This would be good, but it shows ANY post you've ever made, and since someone decided the best thing to do was allow someone to be able to downvote any thing without reading the actual post. So for example, I made a posting that hurt a hater, he downvotes 10 comments, I look like the jackass who has a -10 karma.

Day 7: Rest

(Cutting to weeks for benefit)

Week 2: My friend warns me about /r/Aethism. Obviously I must see what he is hiding from me. Let me say this: /r/Aethism is the largest bunch of people who enjoy bitching and being asses I have ever seen in my life. I do not know why, but the best thing they have to do is just complain about God, and show how science explains everything, and how people who complain about God are nothing more than ignorant fucks. Now I will say this: I believe in God, but I do not dare to question what is science and what is God. Now I am NOT closed minded, I welcome all scientific debates, and all arguments, but still they just..... they just complain about everything! (/rant)

Week 3: Posting In Aethism topic is not doing so hot, so far -3 downvotes. The topic was "Removing In God We Trust, from the US Currency." I said "Why? It's part of our history....". Of corse this was a kiss of death in Aethism. I got hated, and downvoted.  /r/Gaming getting old, and immature, wanting a different group of peers to talk to. I find /r/TrueGaming. They are a group to talk about games, abit more mature, and pretty funny. At least that was my first impression. /r/gaming is FILLED with Fallout Logics....

Week 4: Find /r/Slender, /r/nosleep, and /r/horror. Most stories are not scary, I laughed, but I liked the change of appearance. This week was the deciding week, if you will. I got my best grasp on the feel of how the groups were laid out. The only things I am seeing are Portal 2 Cakes, things I build because I'm a gamer, Greenlight, and Kickstarters. /r/Gaming is sad now, the immaturity is more frequent than I was led on to think, I was tricked by my friend! This place SUCKS. I find I am being forced to check my mail, and karma every hour! The more smart assey I am, the smaller my karma gets, but the jokes I say, are directed for no one in general. Than I hit the karma gold mine, I said "Personally, I get all the bitches with Link." 30 upvotes. DAFAQ?

Week 5: I am fed up with Reddit, if I go against the popular flow, introduce a new idea, I am shot down before I can make an intelligent statement. My Karma is at a standstill, at 41. I make a posting in both Gaming and TrueGaming. I ask them to generalize their complaints with the gaming industry, the responses I got were awful, people hated me asking an open ended question! How dare I ask a question to gamers, my fault, guess I'm not allowed to discuss games in a gaming forum! I was appalled! I decided the best thing to do was apologize, and slink back to my safety of /r/WTF and put my head between my knees and cry.

Total Anlaysis is still in progress, maybe I will find something to make me stay.

Current Analysis: Unorganized, slow, ad filled website. Many popular subreddits are filled with children, or people with trolling decent. While reddit can be used as a quick news soucre, many of the people on the site swim in the same direction, and attack anything that swims another way. The popular stuff gets upvoted, new stuff, downvoted, dirty/racist stuff upvoted, smart stuff downvoted, long stuff downvoted. Hey, I met some new people, and got a few subs out of it! :D

Subreddits to avoid: TrueGaming, Gaming, Aethism, Politics, Funny, and gamingsuggestions.
