E3 Pre-analysis

E3 is inching by slowly and soon the biggest stage of all of gaming will commence. The excitement is building up with anticipation of the newest and hottest games and we are excited to see each of them. The questions remains what will each party bring. I will give my thoughts on each company and what they must do in order to steal the show. As a true gamer owning almost every system I’m excited to what will E3 will bring so bring it on.

Nintendo- We already heard that they will not have a press conference at the show. Will be weird not seeing them actually give a conference, but perhaps not seeing Reggie talk about stupid shit is a good idea. Nintendo has the distinct pleasure of being the first release their Next Gen console and have the market to themselves for the last couple months alone. However That advantage didn’t go to much use with Wii U sales at a dismal. While the Wii U may not be that powerful than the Ps4 or XB1, its still unique and in it’s own way. The Wii u can be a formidable opponent for the others if Nintendo can dish out its line up correctly.

-Dish out its big games, Mario, Zelda, Meteoroid, and of course SMASH.

If Nintendo can deliver the games they can steal the show.On the flip side the N3ds is on fire. With fire emblem, Monster hunter, Luigis mansion, etc The nintendo 3s is owning the mobile side with a landslide. They must continue the streak by releasing those awesome titles and exclusive. Heck putting some of those awesome titles on Wii u might even make Wii U a real threat if they can get a Fire emblem or other big name titles on the console.

Microsoft- After a disastrous conference can Microsoft really recover or do they have something up their sleeves at E3? While on paper the PS4 is more powerful the XB1 after the first conference seems to be more of a VCR/TIVO thing rather than a gaming console. Many people are still confused about the always online, the fee to pay used games, and many other things. With all this negative stuff Microsoft need to deliver on one main thing GAMES!!! It seems at this point Ps4 might be the route to go for gamers. Unless MS can dish out some big name Triple A titles exclusive titles they can win the crowd. and by exclusive I mean only on MS not some stupid early month access like they always do. For Microsoft to steal the show they must focus on games. Not TV no sports not kinect. They must show us why we should game on their console over Wii u and Ps4 If they continue on their track that they have been it could spell potential disaster.

Sony- Right now sony is sitting comfortably. They have the hot seat right now. With many fanboys ready to switch sides it is pretty much Sony’s conference to lose at this point. Sony who still has yet to reveal its full console still has some element of surprise. Sony must deliver on the big name games. Doing so will win over most of the crowd and finalize those who are thinking of potentially switching over. These games must be amazing. Not only that but sony must confirm its console. specs. Will the online be free still? Does it have to be on the internet like XB1. If this console is confirmed to be free online, not always online, and can play used games without fee unlike XB1 sony can win this whole thing in a landslide. But the must go that route. If they start charging fees and such then they will lose on their own accord.

On the other side the Vita is getting owned by the 3ds. However I feel like sony should not spend too much time on the vita. but at least show its hot line up of games. The vita is slow at best much like Wii U is but the line up is expected to be coming.

after all this this is my prediction

I think sony will walk away the winner overall

followed by nintendo if they announce the games I want to hear

lastly I put MS they must pull a miracle in order to walk with this at this point. But if they do then it will be one Hell of an E3. I cant wait.

Cleasing the World of Violence

Over and Over we see our Government in the media always taking about some sort of way to put and end to brutal violence. Whether it’s about gun control, video games, etc It’s a constant debate. The random violence that cause these horrible people to do these things not make it an urgent matter for we as people to discuss so we can find a way to make this world safer. But what is the solution? The Gov. Continues to point and blame the many things such as Guns, Violent Video games, etc.

It is not these things listed that create these monsters. You want the answer, it is quite simple. Look in the mirror and you have your answer. Yes it is we the people who are to blame for creating these people who do these horrible things. No person ever randomly played a video game and said ” I feel like killing people today” It’s not how it happens. So think about that for a minute. What creates these monster?!? Well how about bad parenting? or a Gov who continues to Tax a low income family that is already struggling? How about jobs laying people off and only promoting those who don’t actually do their things. Yeah when actually look at it, it’s not the guns, or the violent games that make these horrible people. It is us. We create them because we that people do not show enough love and compassion in this world. We our to busy and caught up in our own lives that instead we feed of negative vibes to those around us. Whether is bullying the kid in school, cutting a person off in traffic, complaining about an employee.

These people are not created at random. They are created over time. When their mind has finally had enough and they have been consumed by hatred and darkness. This is how these people come about. And what do we do. We continue to do the same thing. Lets make a scenario shall we lets say we have a young adult who is in college. Now which of the two would most likely be provoked into causing chaos.

#1 A college kid who is just playing random violent video games for fun.

#2 Or  lonely college student who was just forced to drop out of school after working so hard because the Gov and education spike the tuition fees. and not the person has to give up their dreams because they can’ afford it no more.

Scenario two

#1 A person who is at the shooting range practicing with guns.

#2 A person who just had the love of their live betray them and hurt them beyond what words can describe.

I hope you think its two and not 1 because that’s the given truth.

It is not guns or game or whatever the Government keeps putting the blame on. It is us as people who are to blame. It is us that pushes people over the edge to where their mind is finally saying enough is enough. It to the point where they are finally saying what is the point anymore? and is that mentally that makes them lose faith towards the future.

The answer you all have been looking for has always been in front of us. It is us. and until we as people stop being so hateful with: racism, discrimination. etc these violent acts will continue. 

So if the government wants to ban guns, or take away violent games.  I say let them. Because they will learn the hard way. Doing that will only provoke people causing them retaliate. Their plains will only cause more violence its that simple

Getting over the bridge.

I feel that I now must right this. Time to time I see many people complain everywhere. No matter if its in person, FB, tumblr, twitter etc. Everyone always upset at something. Angry, depressed, irritated. You name it its everywhere.

What I don’t understand is its always the same people over and over again. Let me give you life advice people. You have problems build a bridge and get over it. I know life is hard but that’s why its called LIFE. it’s not called easy, or pleasant, or sun shine and rainbows.

You people need to seriously get over yourselves. You crying an whining for attention everyday won’t help you in anyway. Yes you have the right to be upset, because we all have our bad days. But continuously crying like a little kid over and over again wont solve your damn problems.

Grow up and solve it. Get over it. You may think your life sucks because your struggling financially, or your significant other just broke up with you. or some friend back-stab you in the back. Listen up, while you may think your life sucks. I can guarantee you that you are more blessed than almost 80% of most people.

Here you have family and friends. Cell phones, food to eat, a place to live. So why are you crying?!? You are living!!!!! that is a blessing in itself. Another day alive is another blessing for you Remember that. Because there are many people who don’t get to see tomorrow. Just take a lot at the boston thing, or sand hook, and the dark knight shootings. Those should indicate that life is short.

If you continue to life in your own self pity you degrade yourselves of what is really in front of you. You miss out on life. So really you have nothing to complain about. Because im sure there is a sick staving kid in africa, or some kid living in a war zone who would gladly switch places with you. So think about that.

Some of you know. Buy my youngest brother was born with life illness. He has been in a hospital his whole entire life. Hooked up to machines. He had a bone marrow transplant when he was young just to get by and went through Chemotherapy. He never had a normal child hood life. He didnt get the pleasure of going to school and meeting friends. ALl his friends were meet in a hospital, most whom now all passed away. So think about that.

A few years ago I watch my little brother’s health take a turn for the worse. His condition worsen and in time. He became my brother walking around the house playing, to being unable to breath and needing a oxygen supply and needed a wheel chair. He spent nearly a year away from us and his family to get special care waiting almost a year for that call that will save his life. and guess what we got that call. My brother underwent a double lung transplant. and the next video my parents sent me was him without tubes and him walking again and dancing.  So feel bad yet?!? you think your life is hard. Put yourselves in other people’s shoes. Because if i learned something throughout all that its learning to be strong. My brother showed me amazing strength and will. He never gave up on himself. and never doubt anything.

It’s because of him its why i try to stay positive and be more grateful for the things i have. I think some of you people need to do the same.

Never once when my brother was hooked up to tubes did he complain about his life. He always smiled even when things were looking bleak. I remember asking him one day” how do you feel are you scared?” he replied “no I know everything will be alright” 

So take a lesson from this. You can be mad. But nothing solves itself. You want to be happy then be it. Happy doenst make you. You make yourself happy. End of discussion.  So pick yourselves off the floor and stand up tall. You have a lot of live for to waste on self pity. Never let the darkness consume you.

Daily Blog 04-20

Last night was truly an amazing night. It was the 5th annual Mambo room dance-a-thon. This was a 12 hour dancing marathon to raise money for CHKD. By the end of the night we raised nearly $23,000 AMAZING. I had the best time with my team last night as well as sharing it with my other family. I do this ever year and its one of the rare times that both my ballroom family here in VB and my VCU/Richmond family are together. I love both my dancing familys and its great when I can dance with both of them at the same time. It was great, the night was full of fun, laughs, and dancing. I also got to give props to my team Oppa Ballroom style for winning the most spirited team award. What an amazing day.  My body of course is now in a lot of pain but it is all worth it. I can’t wait to do it again as always. Big props to everyone who helped out and donated and support us.

Find a place

Don’t get me wrong. I’m neither sad nor depressed. I just feel empty some days. Days of long hours or work, doing things, it’s just boring. I never liked being part of the % of people who does the same thing and does that boring routine life. I always liked the sense of adventure. Maybe because I know i’m always broke and never have money to  do anything. Or don’t dance as much these days because of how things are going. It just feels empty. I liked my life in richmond. No day was the same. I had adventure almost every night. and I did this on an empty wallet. I think its just VB in general. Living here to long is just boring. Perhaps when things warm up it will get better, because the beach will be a spot again. But still this place bores me. If I could i would of totally moved back to richmond or some other place already. I love my family and friends here do death. But times I wish i could be somewhere else but here. But i really need to find myself and go on some random adventure. Maybe ill drive out to nowhere and get lost in pungo and just take pictures. or something. But hey money it would be nice if you could find your way into my wallet and bank account that would help greatly.
