My top 5 favorite video games

So here's my post that I promised... Though I still have no idea what I am going to post about... I am thinking maybe something about my favorite video games.

Well I think in 5th place it's the Total War Series... Medieval Total War II to be specific is my favorite (that I've played) Its a Real Time Strategy (RTS) which is probably my favorite genre where you control and build cities then fight other nations. Rome and Medieval are both set in Europe, then there's several others that are set in other places as well. It might be hard if your new to it, especially if you don't play RTS games and its pretty intense as well at times.

Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth I and II are 4th on the list. It's the game that got me into RTS games. Being a Lord of the Rings fan I really have to give this game props... And it was probably the game I played the most in middle school and early high school. You have a small area where you build things and those things can give you units, money, and things in that nature. I highly recommend it if you haven't. Its not too complicated and is a good game to start if you're new to RTS games.



Now for the games that I have spent way too much time playing more recently. I would probably be more successful (and dull) if it weren't for these games as I have invested lots more time in playing them. I think the reason I like the next few games so much is there's multiple characters you can invest time (and sometimes emotion) into. Each character has a minor back story and special things to contribute.

I have invested way too much time in this free to play game. League of Legends is constantly updating new features and adding new characters and is a genre that is newly getting popular Multi-player Battle Arena. Basically the best way I can describe that is like Hunger Games. Its one of the most (and maybe/probably is) the most online played computer game today. It is a free to play game and you can unlock characters as you play, but they make money by allowing you to buy characters quicker and making different visuals for characters that might look cooler. I have maybe spent 30 dollars on this game but have invest a lot of time in playing it. I recommend it and if you play, I am ToxicShardShock. The only thing I don't like is the community of the game, lots of people have horrible attitudes and troll often.

Second is Pokemon. Yes you heard correctly, one of the things I talk about the most is not my first favorite game. Pokemon is part of my childhood and I haven't missed a game since I got my GameBoy Advance.... That is in the main series of Pokemon. There are lots of different series. Pokemon is an adventure game, that takes strategy. With lots of Pokemon, and lots of moves it is always entertaining. I have bought every game the day it came out since I was about 13... Well they tend to come in two's with not much difference in the counterpart games, then a third is released about a year later. I guess I don't have EVERY Pokemon game, but I have on from each new release. Being part of my childhood, I can't help but feel overly excited whenever new Pokemon are released. I always want to spoil the game (Love spoilers.) I will never get tired of the video games. My favorite so far is Emerald version. You can beat it quick, but still have those difficult times. For some reason, I also find it refreshing to play Emerald version.

My all time favorite game, the game that actually beats Pokemon is FIRE EMBLEM. It has everything I love. Amazing gameplay, lots of strategy, character development, amazing artwork, cool looking characters, fairly difficult settings, amazing story lines, and amazing music. This game, to me, is perfect. I don't talk about it as much, I think, because maybe it didn't have a show, or maybe because its not as big as Pokemon or League of Legends. But every time I play it, I just feel good. I have gotten lots of friends to play it and have been finding more people to play it as well. I was very excited when the most recent one was released, and even more excited when I learned lots of people I recently befriended also play it. This game is simple enough for anyone to play it, but also difficult enough for anyone to want to invest some time in. Its a pretty casual game (meaning you don't have to invest too much time in it and pick it up again easily) and after you play the first few chapters, you should understand it quite well. Again, I think this game is perfect and I really wish there were books or a movie based on it, because the story line is so well done. I highly recommend it to people. Its a Nintendo series game and currently has 6 games release in the US. If you use emulators, there are two Game Boy Advance games. There is also one for GameCube and its sequel is for the Wii. There is also one for the Nintendo DS and 3DS. I don't know I can pic a favorite as they are all so good and also different enough so its not too repetitive. I wish more people knew about this game because I feel its probably one of the best games AND genre's out there... Its a total strategy game kind of similar to Chess and the board game Stratego.

Disclaimer (sort of not really). There are probably typo's. I know the rules of grammar, but I bet you understood the jist of what I said... I am lazy and don't want to edit this a billion times. Sorry grammar nazi's.

Hopefully I'll Have More Soon!

Its been a while since I posted (like 2 months) but I do have other idea's to post. Just realized I hadn't posted in a while so hang in there!

INFJ, Jung Personality test.

     So every time I take the Jung personality test, I am ALWAY'S the most rare kind of personality there is. INFJ, which stands for Introverted, iNtuitive, Feelings, and Judging. If you want to understand what that means click here.
     Basically though it means I am good at reading people. It takes a lot for me to trust you and once I do that is a HUGE compliment. It's hard to communicate emotions verbally, but very easily through writing. I like helping people, but am sensitive about it; which I guess means you need to be good at accepting help. And well there's lots of other things about being an INFJ.
     It's been a while since I took this test but I feel its still true. All the jobs suggested are jobs that I want to do. And every description I've read I relate to well. I think in the description from the link above my favorite line is:

• INFJs are weird / odd / strange / extremely rare and they very much know it. They yearn to be understood and want to be accepted as they are (as most people do, of course). An INFJ is incredibly complex, so complex they confuse even themselves. They almost always feel misunderstood and ‘hidden’. They will be offended if you pass them off as ‘simple’ or ‘average’. Getting to know an INFJ takes work, so be prepared for that. A lot of gentle enquiry is required.

I feel its accurate and I don't mean in the dorky way nor am I meaning to be that guy who's fishing for some kind of attention, its just in general I basically always feel like that.

So Called Missionaries

     Okay a post that might upset my Christian friends.
     I find it funny how people are willing to go to countries as a missionary evangelizing to another place that is already Christian, but when it comes to going into the big city, a place where they think God doesn't exist, they immediately shun the idea of going there.
     I need to be honest, I have met too many people who have only ever been surrounded by Christians. They think they are the best of Christians. I am going to be honest, I think you are JUST AS GOOD AS EVERYONE ELSE!
     First off, how are you supposed to let yourself grow if your faith is never challenged. If you are only around other Christians who have the same philosophies you have been raised with, how do you know you are really a follower of Jesus, or a follower of those around you? Why are you afraid to go into a place that there are going to be people who may or may not agree with you?
     After I graduated high school suddenly I wasn't around people who I always agreed with and with this I started to grow. I am now more aware of what God wants me to do with my faith and the traits he has given me than ever before just from not being around the same denomination of Christian friends. Sure a lot of my idea's have changed, but I still believe in Jesus. I personally think I am a better Christian and human being.
     So if you want to evangelize, maybe go to a place you are afraid of going. Or go to a place that will challenge you. Let yourself grow and extend your limits rather than just staying in the same settings you have always been in. A tree can't grow its maximum height if you leave it in the pot forever.

My new intro!

So I decided to make an intro for my youtube channel! And here it is! Click here to watch intro.

Feminists in Action Movies

     Okay, here is something that bothers me. Every action movie I have seen that tries to have female characters always has one of either three types of characters. And each of them aren't realistic and almost offensive. People get excited because they think, "Oh a strong female character!" But in my opinion its the exact opposite.
     First you have the most commonly used one. The one who is a total jerk, hates men, seems emotionless, and never happy. No person, either gender, is really like that unless they are super emotionally damaged. Every time an action movie has this female character I pray she dies. I find it offensive, anti masculinity, but also anti feminist. It's also rather ignorant because typically directors just want that strong female character, but the character they have isn't part of a feminist movement... Feminism, by definition is equality for all. Not some kind "This hard-@$$ is better than everyone."
     Next you have the seducer, the one who's actually kinder, but she still has this "men are slobs" thing going on... She has the whole I need to use sex to get what I want cause I know I can get anything this way. They always talk in sexy voices and betray every man she seduces. This is also anti-feminist, even though a lot of people consider her another strong female character... I almost feel like this the exact opposite since it's the whole "women are just here for sex" idea that everyone gets mad about in pop-culture.
     Then finally you have the weak cry-baby girl. She's afraid of everything cries a lot and makes everyone around her do everything cause she's crying too much. She's the one I have the least to say about because she isn't as used as the others, but I think you get my point.
     In reality there aren't that many women who fit these descriptions. Sure the first two I mentioned are independent, but can't we have a real girl. Maybe find a girl who's bubbly, and friendly, yet also can take care of herself. I can't think of any action movie that has anything besides those three descriptions. I can think of several anime's that do, and I don't even watch anime much.
     So this is my rant that may or may not make me look like a feminist... I feel as though everyone has a different idea what feminism is.

My BIGGEST Pet Peeve

     Well what is my biggest pet peeve? When someone gets angry easily and/or over stupid things. I see myself as a pretty patient person. But when you throw a fit because you spilled milk I might actually slap you. I see no worth to anger. Do I get angry? Yes! I try my hardest not to. But the only people I have ever not been able to be around very much are people who get angry all the time.
     I see it as incredibly self centered to be angry often. Like for some reason you are always right and better than whatever. And the people who I know personally that are angry often, -caution I am not going to filter this,- are the biggest freaking idiots I know. Like every one of them causes something bad to happen and are trying to make everyone around them to have fault only in the end to realize its their own fault.
     I have no problem with slow people, but most easily angered people I know are incredibly slow at getting things, and i think its because they get so hot headed they can't even think about it.
     This sounds horrible but I have a relative (or relatives) that do get angry over the dumbest things and I can't stand being around them. To be honest most of the time I see almost no worth to people who get mad over things. I am an optimistic person, but if all you do is make everyone around you feel miserable, I don't care how good you are at doing your job or whatever, but you DON'T deserve it.
     I can straight up say this is my most narrow-minded post and honestly I don't care. This is my BIGGEST pet peeve after all. I have zero-tolerance towards this kind of pessimism and I might even snap back at you way harder. And this is also straight up the most hypocritical thing I have said, but the one thing that makes me the angriest are ANGRY PEOPLE!
     Okay my vent is over. With this said, here's my words of wisdom, you can't reason with the unreasonable.
