You stare at this little thing sitting pretty on your disheveled bed. It was covered with yellow fur, its ears are long and pointed with black tips. You cock your head focusing on its little red circle on each of its cheek. Ever so gently, you caress this little thing then you immediately stopped, you thought it was stupid to act like you never saw a Pikachu stuff toy before considering that you are now eighteen years old. You thought that you are stupid, everything in your tiny world felt stupid and unfair.

You recall the time when he took you to a little amusement park, his big strong hands clasped with your own tiny little hands, pulling you along as he lead you to a little booth. “What are we doing here dad?!” you asked him annoyingly, you thought that he’s an ignorant to act all giddy about something so unexciting for his age. “Just watch.” He told you and you didn’t because you badly wanted to go home, your feet were aching from all the walking. When he returned, he had this little stuff toy on his hands and a big smile plastered on his bright face “Look! It’s Pikachu!” he told you while waving it in front of your eyes. You looked grudgingly at this little thing then stared at his face, eyebrows furrowed “What about it?” you questioned him nonchalantly, pushing down the desire to slap the toy away. “Oh come on, don’t act all catty to me young lady.” He told you almost pleadingly but you didn’t care, not even a little bit. Your body was aching, head pounding and your eyes were tired “I don’t care! Please, can we go home now? I’m honestly tired and I’ve have been trying to tell you that for like every minute of this stupid birthday!” you told him. Again, he waved the stupid toy in front of you “Oh come on sweety-I” he said to you, trying to grasp for your empathy but you hated that and you remember losing your patience, finally smacking the toy away from your face. The yellow furred toy fell and rolled into the puddle “Dad! I’m already seventeen! I hate it when you treat me like a kid.” You basically scolded at him and you watched as his face instantly went dark. You remembered the way his joyful radiance quickly evaporated into something dark, his eyes that instantly lost its shimmer, the hurt visible in his features you are missing, the way he smiled at you even though his eyes, oh his crinkled eyes told otherwise but you, silly you, just brushed it off and walked away.

You reach your hand up to your face recognizing the little drop of tear from your eyes from all the memories you have wasted and treated like rubbish. You think of how you wish to turn the rotation of the earth backwards, to bring back the kindest man you’ve ever known, who gave you all of his love, care and little Pikachu when your mother had left all of you alone. You think of how you wanted to slap the hell out of your wits for being selfish, for not seeing this toys’ worth that resembled his effort for you to be pleased, for not noticing the diamond you had until it was permanently vanished. You think about how amazing and tragic it is for how a simple thing, just by staring at it, can make you feel such misery and finally, you understood the smile on his face as he gave it to you. You pull the toy from the bed into your tiny arms, cuddling this stupid Pikachu and you cling to it like it was the only treasure from the father who gave everything for his beautiful yet selfish princess.

Favorite Nintendo Memory

...When people ask me about a ‘favorite Nintendo Memory’, I often can’t come up with an answer. It’s not because I don’t have good memories in regards to Nintendo. On the contrary, I often have to stall because I can never seem to choose which one to pick. Do I talk about the first Nintendo console I played? Do I talk about the feeling of elation I had when I first beat Mega Man 5? Or perhaps when I first unwrapped my N64 with a copy of Pokemon Stadium? To me, there never has been a single moment with Nintendo that stood out above and beyond all others. How could there be when Nintendo continued to make games like Pokemon Stadium, Super Smash Bros., Fire Emblem, and Custom Robo? In many regards, Nintendo has been akin to DisneyLand to me for...

Pokemon History

...The first pokemon games released in america were Pokémon red and Pokemon green, in 1996. The cards started to be produced and stocked for about 4 months in 1995. Pokemon is a japanese franchise shipped to america and sponsored by a very prestigious company called Gamefreak, and another that is well known, Nintendo. The games were released for the gameboy, a slightly old game system that many today consider mediocre compared to the highly technologic 3DS and 2DS. The pokemon company had its cards sponsored by a company that is known as Creatures and also says 1999 Wizards as a sponsor at the bottom of the cards released in 1995 through 1998.

I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws; to respect its flag; and to defend It against all enemies." Tyler, W (1918) -- The American's Creed. The Spanish Period, Arizona is the youngest of all the states, and the last of the 48 states to be admitted to the Statehood in 1912. Arizona’s history goes back hundreds of years. In 1535, the Spanish explorer Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca, with three companions, found their way to Arizona; where Cabeza de Vaca was perhaps the first European explorer to enter Arizona territory. Arizona history states that, “His report led to further explorations of the region. The Spaniards heard stories about the great wealth of the Seven Cities of Cibola. They grew eager to find this treasure”. In the 1600s Antonio de Espejo and Juan de Onate found minerals that would make Arizona rich and increase Spanish interest in the territory. In 1752 the Spanish established the first white settlement. The Arizona history states that “the 18th...

Half a century later, the industry of video games represents a  42 billion Pound industry. The recent significant increase in this industry is due to the growth of broadband, the adoption of more robust wireless networks and phones, and the consolidation of game developers and publishers. This global turnover is divided in two parts: the software component is worth (32 billion pound) and the hardware component is worth (10 billion pound). Some recent analysis shows that there is about 300 millions of players in the world. It is quite difficult to find the exact number because a game or a console can be used by more than one player.  The Video Game Hardware market is dominated by three main competitors: Nintendo (49%), Microsoft (30%) and Sony (21%).  While the video game software market is dominated by four companies: Nintendo (19%), Activision (12%), Electronics Arts (11%) and Konami (5%).  These figures indicate that Nintendo is the leader...
