Life of a Gamer

Warning: This is an opinionated post about my personal experience about gaming, you're free to give your reaction but what you will read here is my true experience and opinion about the advantage and disadvantage of a gamer.

Introduction

Console and PC gaming is one of the most popular hobby today, gamers are not just male or teens now, the number of female gamers are increasing gradually. Most non-gamers see this kind of hobby as a useless thing to do, a waste of time and will bring no good to an individual. But if we just look at the brighter side we can see lots of benefits from this hobby (but in moderate state).

Brief History

Mario, a name that most kids in our century might not know, the guy who break bricks using his head but will die when he touched a walking or flying turtle. The game was created by Shigeru Miyamoto and Gunpei Yokoi which is also two of the lead developer of Donkey Kong.

Did you know? 

-In Donkey Kong, Mario was known as "Jump Man", he was also a carpenter during that time.

-The name Mario was named after Mario Segale, he was the landlord of Nintendo in america.

-His occupation was later changed to plumber because most of the settings in Mario Bros. is in the sewage system.

Character Design

The whole character of Mario is all because of hardware limitation at that time, large pixel and limited colors gave birth to this well known character. The hat is added instead of hair because a hat is easier to portray than hair during those times. His mustache that made him look like an Italian is added because it is easier to show in the game than a nose. He also have dungarees to make the movement of his arm more noticeable.

A lot of teens are addicted to the popular RTS game called DotA (Defense of the Ancients), but do they know how it started and who are the people involved for creating such epic strategy game?

Aeon of Strife

For we are able to understand its history we need to know where the idea came from. DotA was based on Aeon of Strife, a game mod designed for Starcraft (Another popular game) it was created by Aeon64. When Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos was released Aeon of Strife was ported to ROC because of the limitation of Starcraft engine and it was created by a modder named “Eul”.
