Happy 130th Birthday to Nintendo
Greetings, my Vocal readers. Today, a video game company has reached an important milestone. That company is Nintendo and they are celebrating their 130th birthday. Just to clarify, I'm talking about the company and not the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Founded on September 23, 1889 by Fusajiro Yamauchi, it was originally started as a trading card company. Nintendo didn't start creating home game systems until 1974, with the release of the Color TV-Game three years later. It was Japan's best-selling first-generation console at the time, and sold more than three million units. Over the next four decades, Nintendo would release many home and handheld consoles. The 1985 release of Super Mario Bros. for the NES sold 40 million copies, making it one of the best-selling video games in the Mario series. Mario has been the face of the company since the early 1980s, and since 1990, he has been voiced by actor, and voice actor, Charles Martinet. Also, every year on March 10 is National Mario Day. In this article, I'm going to share some of my favorite Nintendo games that I grew up playing and still enjoy today. These are not in any particular order.

'Cloak & Dagger' - What? A GOOD Video Game Movie?
Hello, and welcome back to Second Chances where I'm loading up the maligned and forgotten and pressing the "Start" button. As far as I'm concerned, the 1980s were one of the greatest decades in movie history. I'm not saying that just because of the spectacle that came from new special effects or because of more chances being taken on crazy ideas like a time-traveling DeLorean (Back to the Future) or ice cream that eats people from the inside out (The Stuff). The 1980s were great because the movies of that decade (for the most part) respected their audience. That was especially true of family films. Unlike family films today which, outside of Pixar's stuff, tend to treat kids like little idiots with spines made of jelly and attention spans of moths, family films of the 80s actually challenged kids, got them to think critically, and weren't afraid to scare them a little. Look at some of the all-time classics from that decade including Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal, Return to Oz, The Secret of NIMH, and especially The NeverEnding Story (which is my #3 favorite movie of all time). Another movie that deserves to be on that pedestal is the 1984 suspense thriller Cloak & Dagger.

How to Build George Washington in 'The Pathfinder RPG'
George Washington, his name reverberates in the halls of America's schools, and the man has become a legend. He was the first president, one of the primary founding fathers, and his face adorns both our money, and several of our major national landmarks. What we tend to gloss over, though, is the fact that George was a stone-cold badass. A man who preferred the sound of bullets slicing past his head to silence, and who regularly stood in front of hundreds of his enemies' guns with shoulders back and chest out, Washington was a man who led from the vanguard. If you've been looking for a solid build for a general that can lead by example, this guide should get you started.

'Need for Speed: The Run'
Need for Speed: The Run was released in 2011. It was made by the developing company known as EA Black Box, who also helped make Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Need for Speed: Underground, Need for Speed: Underground 2, Need for Speed: Carbon, Need for Speed: ProStreet, and also a few other Need for Speed titles. EA Black Box has also had a hand in helping develop other games such as the Skate series, NHL games from 2000 to 2004, Nascar 2001, and The Sims 3. Need for Speed: The Run is the most overlooked game in the Need for Speed series because of how different it is to the rest of the series. A lot of Need for Speed fans hated the game at first because it wasn't like the ones that came before it, but it still managed to gain a fan base that loves the game. Need for Speed: The Run is a Fantastic game because of it being different, the narrative driven story, and the theme of the game.
