GAMING GONE WILD
The reason that these newer games steal new generation gamers time is because they make you imagine a goal that may not be possible for you to accomplish in real life. For instance, the "Guitar Hero" series which I dearly love has had a grasp on me for so long that I have more than 10 games! The reason I love these games is because they make me think that I can actually play these wild solos on a plastic guitar. I do have a real guitar of my own, but I can't really play well. Yes I also think that these games have made a lot of controversy because of the length of time that people play for. The reason people don't stop is because a game can actually put you in a situation better then anything else. Another example is that when I'm done a game *ahem* Final Fantasy I usually dream like I am killing the epic final boss and kind of lose control of what goes on around me. I think that the time when it is enough and stop playing for a while is when you know that a kid/adult goes all "Oh my gosh mom what the heck, I'm finishing The final solo of Through the Fire and Flames on expert!" Or when you noticing a kid/adult yell at the tv screen commands, or when everything they do has them looking at the screen and doing it.

These blog things are fun\ it is not spam D:
So it's November the 15th and it says on Wikipedia that it's "International Day for Tolerance" so hooray for that. I'm really not sure what this blog is going to be about so...
How about the internet phenomenon's going on? There are a lot that are funny and comedic than serious or romantic. A couple of great examples would be "Fred" show with the kid who uses the technology to make his voice super-high and carries you with him in his mis-adventures. Then there is the mentos+coke experiment that shows people that two small things can cause an explosion that doesn't cause people to yell that their house is burning.
Well apparently the FreD show doesn't count because it's sort of a series. So let's take a look at the series' and webshows then. The Sxephil webshow is a good one (I swear I didn't mispell that one). Phil would post vlogs (Yes video blogs) and his thoughts on the world on them. Some negative, some positive, but they're his opinions. The FReD show afformentioned and the Canadian "FLuffeeTalks" videos where he says a funny story he heard on the radio or red from the newspaper.
More of these would be: Charlie the Unicorn, The Retarded Policeman, KevJumba, NigaHiga, the Will it blend series, "Is it a good idea to microwave this", Spoonyone, and Smosh. Those are all I could think of. The questions I would like to ask is "Do you know any more web series', internet phenomena, or webshows that catch your attention?"

The Campaign Trail
I watched the "Wassup" commercial on Youtube before and thought the point was that the world is drowning in problems. The guy tried to hanged himself because his economy went down from the problems of global economics. Terrorism has taken our money to help the war effort, and also the weather has also taken a turn for the worst as you can see in the video. The first video was comedic, but the new one was serious because it was talking about how critical it is to vote. Obama's message is clearly that he will try to solve the world's problems.
This video shows that people believe that he can change things:

Shut the front door!!!
As my first blog I would start with a topic that is completely random.
Arthur! The show that made kids believe that they were a main character in life. Honestly I love that show and I still think it's awesome. You may be thinking "Why Arthur?!" Well because I just watched an episode again and I'm going to rant on the odd things in it. First of all I could only see half of the show so I saw the second episode which was when the family went to Washington.
The first thing that caught my eye was that there was something called "share a sundae with Santa" and I tried to think of something like that in real life, and failed. For one, why would you go to an igloo in the middle of the suburbs to share a sundae. Another thing is the fact that D.W doesn't question Santa on why he isn't living on the North Pole! Then the final part of that 30 second clip that got me confused was that D.W had convinced her parents to go there. Who would let her do that?!
There was 2 parts that were really dumb and totally should've been switched so that they would make more sense. The part the show shows first is when the President asks Arthurs help to rebuild the monuments to make them more interesting. The second part however showed Arthur contemplating if he'll meet the President. Can you spot something wrong? Yes there is something totally wrong.
I admit this episode had some rather weird things, but you can say that for nearly every other show in the world. The question I'd like to ask is what are some odd happenings in shows that you watched. I don't care if I don't know the show . Oh and by the way the clip for this episode got either removed from Youtube or isn't uploaded so I can't show it.
