Games

Hello everyone!

So one of my friends requested that I write about games this time. Unfortunately, I do not play too many video games, so my knowledge is limited.

Games I play:

-Bioshock Infinite: Hella awesome story line, awesome gameplay. I really like it. Only complaint is that there is no multiplayer.

-Combat Arms: I stopped playing a while ago. Too many hackers.

-SNK tribute game: Darn titans are too hard to kill. Still pretty fun. Try it out yourself!

-Minecraft: Xbox edition, so not as many updates. Looking forward to the next update soon!

-Puzzles and Dragons: My favorite pastime when I'm bored. Currently Rank 18.

That's about it, really. I don't play too many games, now that I need to study and stuff. Most of my time is spent studying and taking classes.

Oh yeah, just in case you want to try out the SNK game: http://fenglee.com/game/aog/

Unity web player is needed for this. Doesn't take too long to download.

Thanks for reading!

Hello world!

Hi! My name is Benjamin Yang. This is my blog where I talk about whatever you want me to talk about.

If you have a particular topic you want me to talk about, put it in this form: Ben's blogs

My posting will be a bit inconsistent. I will try to post every day, but I will not always post at the same time each day. I apologize in advance.

So, my first topic will be... Greek myths.

So, going back to the beginning, we start with Gaea, the earth. She then spawns three children on her own. And here's where things get a little crazy. Gaea marries her son Ouranos and has 18 children: 12 Titans, 3 Cyclops, and 3 Hekatonchieres, or Hundred-handed Ones. Ouranos thinks the Cyclops and Hekatonchieres are ugly, so he throws them down into the big hole called Tartarus. Such a loving dad right?

Gaea's revenge: SHE CONVINCES HER SON KRONOS TO KILL HIS DAD. Now that's a little messed up. The gods haven't even showed up yet.

 Kronos then hears a prophecy that his son will defeat him. Naturally, he would just stop having kids, right? No. The lord of time has SIX children, five of whom he devours. The last one, Zeus, was hidden by his mother and replaced with a rock to fool Kronos. How stupid do you have to bee to confuse a kid with a rock?!

Zeus grows up, makes his dad vomit out the other five gods, and throws him down into Tartarus. So now we have Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Hades, and Hestia.

Zeus was a player. He basically banged half the women in Greece, each time producing either a god or a hero. His wife was so pissed that she once tied Zeus to his bed. But don't forget she also did some nasty things too. When she gave birth to Hephaestus, she was so horrified by his ugliness that she threw him down the mountain. Also a very loving parent.

Remember Gaea? She marries Poseidon. Her GRANDSON. Gaea basically committed incest twice. They produce a giant who can't be killed as long as he's touching the ground. OP.

Demeter, goddess of fertility, once threatened to kill all of mankind if she didn't get her daughter back. Where was that daughter? In hell. As Hades' WIFE. More incest. And you thought Oedipus was f***ed up.

There's a lot more, but I'll leave that to you to learn for yourself. If you want me to talk about something next time, then put it in the form. Thanks!
