Paper Mario (N64) at New Year 2012

The Star Rod

What did you guys do in New Year 2012?
Well, I saved Princess Peach and the entire Mushroom Kingdom from the hand of the evil King Bowser!

Paper Mario is a game sequel from the video games Mario Bros series which is published for Nintendo 64 platform. In order to save the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario has to find seven "Star Spirits" to negate the effects of the captured Star Rod, which grants invincibility to Bowser.

Turn-Based Battle System

Paper Mario offers a really different game play from the usual Mario Bros that we played in Nintendo system. In this game, Mario travels along with a number of partners to help him solve puzzles in the game's world. Moreover, the battle is based on turn-based battle system, which we usually find in most RPGs.

King Bowser and Princess Peach

This game launched in 2001 and becomes the top 200 Nintendo best games (ranked at number 64) in 2007. If you guys are classic gamer (meaning you are not really interested with games like Halo, Call of Duty, and such), Paper Mario is definitely worth to play! :)

The End

Legend of Mana, Playstation 1

The World Map

Finally, after almost over 10 years, I have managed to finish Legend of Mana, one of the fantastic games from SquareSoft. Yeeee!! :D

Wait... Wait?! 10 years?! Seriously, dude?!
Actually, we only need 2x24 hours to finish this game, but because I played this game when I was in junior high school and I was not really good enough in Role Playing Games (RPG), thus I was failed at that time, bored, and changed to another game.

Home: We're here only because we like staying here.

Many people hold the opinion that playing video games is just a waste of time, power, and mind; however I disagree with that point of view. In fact, video games really help me to improve my English skill, especially vocabulary and general grammar. With the help of my mighty English dictionary, I added English words to my little precious brain little by little in those good old days.

Furthermore, playing video games also train my brain logic to solve puzzles, quizzes, or problems. Video games which I really recommend for this are Final Fantasy the Series, Resident Evil, Alundra 2, Dino Crisis, and Midventure of Tron Boone.

In short, playing video games is very FUN! But we also have to balance our time for our family, friends, and works. Don't let video games become the player of our life!
