For anyone who grew up with a Nintendo 64, GoldenEye 007 was the game to have. The story behind it is pretty crazy, but I won’t get into copying it’s Wikipedia entry. The below video takes some of the famous scenes from the video game which also happened in the movie (for a movie adaption, … Continued
Sadly I haven’t had a chance to play this as often or as much as I once used to. But this song is apt and describes some of the most fun times I’ve had in my young adult life. I probably spent a few years of my life playing games of Halo with people young … Continued
Today the Grand Canyon turns 100 years old. Well, it’s actually several million years old, but the protections put in place by the great President Teddy Roosevelt are celebrated.
