Steam is a popular PC gaming marketplace. It's similar to the PlayStation Store and it keeps track of your friends,games and save data. Steam has created console version of its software, which allows people to play Steam games on there console. Many people have been waiting for this to come. I personally believe that it will win the console war between PlayStation and Xbox. It has a wide variety of games, better frame fate and graphics card. However this impressive machine can cost from $500 to $5000 depending on what version of the console you get. The controller used for the Steam Box is very similar to the controller used for Xbox. The Steam Box will move many gamers from PC to Console, since Steam is one of the only gaming software for the PC. It uses a Alien ware processor, which is one of the best processors to have. Other gaming companies are offering more deals to combat this machine, such as free games and discounts on subscriptions for games. If you are interested in the Steam Box or Steam in general, I would recommend you downloading Steam on to your computer to have a taste on whats to come.

Pokemon is known by everyone in the world. However, majority of people don't know the origins and relations of Pokemon. A cell in the eyes of mammals that allows things seen through the eyes transfer to the brain was named after Pikachu from Pokemon. It refers to the face that Pikachu uses lighting attacks and that refers to the speed of how fast the image seen through our eyes goes to the brain. however, for copyright reasons the scientific term is now called Pikachurin. A very interesting fact about Pokemon is that the term "Pokemon" was used by Cancer Researchers. The Researchers used the word Pokemon to shorten the term "Pokerythroid Myeloid Ontogenic factor" which is a cancer causing Gene. The Pokemon Company threaten the researches with a law suit for copyright of the term because they didn't want their name to be associated with a cancer causing gene. Pokemon are capable of evolving into a advance version of their previous selfs. This has created controversy with religions like Christianity about the theory of Evolution and many families refused to buy their children any Pokemon products because of this reason. The most disturbing part of Pokemon and Religion is the Pokemon theme song "gotta catch them all". If this song is reversed it says things about Satan which was another controversy, so much in fact that the Vatican had to way in on this. The Vatican said that Pokemon does not go against Christianity and it also teaches morals about friendship and increases creativity. There is the link to 2 videos for more information this topic. Thanks for reading! The title already states what this blog is about and it's most troubling. The Xbox enforcement team has the power ban or suspend people who are breaking the code of conduct that you need to agree to before you use your Xbox. Things that can get you ban or suspended is harassing other people or tampering with the Xbox to change or modify any of the setting on it. This video shows and talks about 11 year child who was wrongfully called a cheater by a cooperation. He earned achievements on the games he played and he earned all of his for every game, which is extremely rare. The enforcement team looked at his profile and assumed he "cheated" to get his achievements. Whenever someone goes to this child's profile it will be labeled cheater and can't be changed by him. His mother was furious with Microsoft and sent a email in a attempt to fix this. Microsoft responded with exact response. "The only actions that we take are to correct the player's current Gamerscore, and to label the player as a "cheater." This label can be observed on Xbox.com and through the player's view of their Gamercard on a console or computer that is connected to Xbox LIVE. The player can still legitimately gain future achievements. The player's experience does not change in any other way." This is not acceptable for Microsoft to do! Please watch the video for more information. Thank you for taking time to read this. I believe the title says it all. how can you tell that you're obsessed with gaming? Some people will say its if you play it hours on end or if you buy multiple consoles ;however, i think I have come to a conclusion on the subject. A man in the United Kingdom named himself after his Playstation 2. It said that he loved it so much that he wanted to changed his name legally to Playstation 2. His Original name was Dan Holmes. He also played it for more than 4 hours a day. Also, he "loved" his Playstation 2 so much that he tried to legally marry it in the United Kingdom. This man spent over 7,000 Euros on games for it. He said that all his friends teased him on how much he liked his PS2 that he tried to marry it. When he asked some vicars to do the service they didn't respond very well and they didn't agree to do it. This shows that video game obsessions go far beyond on what people thought were video game obsession. Thank you for taking to read this blog! There is a link below to the article below.

It says you'll get a new part of the game or DLC (Downloadable Content) f you pre order it. Pre ordering is when you pay for the new game in advance and it depends where you pre order. Some places will make you pay a small portion of the game or the whole game. Video game companies do this for couple of reasons, first one is that they want conformation that people will buy so pre ordering is a way to do that. Majority of the DLC that comes with the game when you pre order it is already in the game but the video game companies put a block on that DLC in the unless you pre order it. Because of people who by games the day it come out will most likely pre order it to gain excess to the DLC part of the game. Popular games do this as well. Such as, Call of Duty, Halo and battlefield and many other games.
Hello there viewers of this blog! Today's blog is about gaming on a computer or PC. Many people play consoles for gaming and it's popular among all gamers. However before console gaming took off many years ago, PC'S were popular for gaming. During the time once gaming became popular in the late 80s people used PC for gaming. The software on the computer was so changeable or modifiable that it was far easier to create PC games than console games. However PC games were more corruptible. Companies like Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo and Samsung all attempted to conquer the gaming market with there own consoles so the gaming on the PC declined over the following years. However Aa popular games that were created, games like Counter Strike and Minecraft created the revial
It's the end of 2014 and gaming is in a huge advancement. In 2013, PS4 won in the console wars but the one is having a comeback. Microsoft has lowered the price of the Xbox One from $500 to $350 and includes a game. PS4 is still $400 and comes without a game. Not to mention that the first time the One was released it contained many errors that hurt it's reputation. While PS4 thrived. Now Sony was hacked and the hackers who did it captured all the information from them and deleted the files to things such Sony sponsored game and movies. Xbox One has been sold out of many stores since it is the Holidays but PS4 hasn't sold as close as the One. E3 last year has declared that the PS4 is the winner of 2013 for consoles but they are casting a new vote on December 30th. On a different note Sony has had a another hacker attack by a group of hackers who called "The Lizard Squad". They state that their reasons are justified for Sony's greed of high prices and unfairness in purchases and returns on Sony products and say they will crash the Xbox 360 and One severs on Christmas Day. If this were to happen Sony would have many returns on their console. While the Xbox One is flourishing. In my opinion, I believe the Xbox One will be the console of the year this year. Link to Video Sony Hacked: Gaming always has it's roots such as pong is the first video game. However some problems are interesting. Like the original PS2 had limited export for when it was released because U.S had was informed that Saddam Hussein had bought over 4000 PS2 to transform into weapons because the PS2 processor and hardrive were so far ahead of it's time. So Japan had to limit how many PS2 were sent out of the country. Later on it was proven that it was false. Also, was ahead of its time. It was the first console to allow video streaming (Netflix) but was only allowed in Brazil. The PS2 was a brain child of a console of the Falocm which was never released. Also , the PS2 was the number one sold console of all time by over 150 billion units. Also the PS2 was the first console to offer online play. The PS2 was so popular that it wasn't able to produce enough memory cards, since it didn't have a internal memory unit. Sony didn't sign contracts with companies like Madcats so not many memory cards were produced from 2002 to 2003. The color of the PS2 was decided on how the earth is majority water so they put blue in the logo and the rest of the console was black and represented the universe because of its color.
