My Favorite Toys Growing Up

The very first ‘Video Game’ was invented by Edward U. Condon in 1940, At first it was a simple game called ‘Nim’. In nim players try to avoid picking up the last match. Thousands of people played it, although the computer won at least 90% of the games. Around ten years later in 1950, a new computer program was created by Claude Shannon for the game of chess. In autumn of 1972 the first gaming console was released by ‘Magnavox’ and they called it the Odyssey. Three years later, the next big gaming console arrived when Sears sold the first ‘Atari Pong.’ This was the beginning of a long partnership between Atari and Sears. This relationship lasted multiple years, and Sears sold several successful games. Multiple years later in 1985, Nintendo released the Nintendo Entertainment System. This new gaming console dominated the Gaming Industry and grew Nintendo’s Company. Nintendo created several gaming console legends, such as the Game Boy, Nintendo 64, Game Boy Advanced, Nintendo Gamecube, Gameboy Advanced SD, and Nintendo DS, all of which made a huge impact on everybody’s childhood from 1985 to 2005. In the late twentieth century and early twenty-first century Playstation and Xbox also started releasing consoles. They are still to this day making successful Gaming Consoles, and individual games, as well as Xbox and Playstation.

Even though my parents don’t allow me to play “M” rated games, I still love PC, PS3, and phone games. Since middle school has started, I haven’t been able to play Minecraft as much as I would like to, it is still a huge part of me. I have been playing Clash Royale since the first week of March, one week after it came out. I am very close to legendary arena. On the PS3, my favorite games are Mirror's Edge, Falling Skies, and Guitar Hero III Legend of Rock. I also love watching movies and TV shows, especially the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Full House, Parent Trap, Suicide Squad, Pitch Perfect, and the Fast and the

After that I started playing games a lot more often. I liked games from Nintendo like Mario, and Zelda. But after I learned what KingdomHearts was like, I started to play different games. Like GTA, and Shadow The Hedgehog. So basically more fighting. But

In 2016, I got a PS4 for Christmas. I still play my PS4 to this day. I also got Destiny for the PS4. That is the game I like to play. I play with my friend Keian. We play with eachother sometimes. I also play with my brother. We have good times on that.

I lived in a decent size brown and white house in an old fashion neighborhood, but my friend’s and most people would describe it as a pretty ghetto neighborhood. During summer my brothers, cousins, and I would always play outside constantly

I have lived in the same house since I came home from the hospital. I live on something like a farm for my whole life.

The hum of fans, the spinning of the disk in its tray. Sitting on my soccer ball beanbag chair that I got for my 11th birthday with a controller in my hands. As a kid, in Washington state, on school days we were not allowed to play video games during the week. Summer was the break from school and the time for lots and I mean lots of video games.  Before I could hit that power button, I had to do something I despised, hated, and avoided like it was the plague. I… had… to… read.

for over 12 years and at times it was cool living there even though it was a small apartment. Earlier in

This house was the best as a child it had a long drive way and big field of green grass and cows. I grew a big connection to my childhood house like roots to a tree. It was a little down the road from Mt.Peak and I would always going hiking because it was enjoying for me to be with nature. I remember elementary school and seeing the same faces in some of my classes tell this day. I met my best friend in kindergarten and I’m still really good friends. Growing up in a small town there was always the same faces and same people working at the local grocery store, it takes around a minute to walk through town, most of the time you can take a bike to your friend’s house, walking to school wasn’t that hard because it’s not far and of course the same old smell of

Many children misunderstood Joseph as he is an aggressive boy because who he is, tall and large for his age, moves around really fast, makes a mess, plays rough. However, he just cannot help himself to slowdown: he needed to understand the others' perception of what he does.

Symbolism in Faulkner: “A Rose for Emily” and “Barn Burning” In the Faulkner book “A Rose for Emily”, Faulkner has a few parts of the story that show symbolism. One piece of symbolism that I saw was that of Emily’s house. Emily was the only remaining person of a perishing world of southern aristocracy. The outside of the particularly large framed house is richly decorated.

The 1960’s was the evolution of toys. The 60’s were the building block of toys that are still popular to this day. The millions of toys that were sold during the 60’s helped effect the toys to evolve to other versions of the original. Toys have been the key of a happy childhoods ever since the first release. Some of the most popular and important toys during the 1960’s included Barbie, G.I. Joe, Twister, and Frisbee.

When I was a child, I played the video games Pokemon and Final Fantasy. Although I liked their story, characters, and intense battles, what I truly enjoyed was their systems of experience and leveling up. In these games, every challenge my characters faced made them stronger. Regardless of how tough the enemy was, with enough dedication and training, one could defeat them. Similarly, the experiences I have had and the challenges I have overcome have made me stronger and have molded me into the person I am today.

I really liked and still do like playing video games but they didn’t really make me the person I am today, but I do remember on snow days me and my friends would play all day and sometimes my

Gaming has been such a huge part of nearly everyone’s life growing up as a kid and it’s only getting bigger and bigger every day. Growing up as a kid, online gaming wasn’t as popular as it is today. I started off with a Gameboy and Dreamcast console that later shifted to better consoles like the PlayStation, Xbox, Wii, and Nintendo. Nowadays, almost everyone, including myself, have shifted to the more popular gaming platforms in mobile games and online PC games. More specifically, certain types of online gaming styles like FPS, MOBA, and MMO are distinctly more popular than many others. Not only has the popularity for online gaming platforms evolved but the importance and relevance of
