While in New York City on a warm Sept. morning in 2012, we sat in attendance at a conference dedicated to the Nintendo Wii U to learn of its launch date, price, and software lineup. What awaited us was something no one expected. At this event, Nintendo announced that Platinum Games’ Bayonetta 2 would be a Wii U exclusive, and gamers worldwide were stunned. Now, after two years of waiting, Platinum Games’ Wii U masterpiece is ready to amaze and excite gamers with its lavish visuals and wonderful gameplay. Action fans rejoice; your 2014 ‘Game of the Year’ has arrived from the heavens.
Considering every version of Bayonetta 2 comes with a copy of Bayonetta, all players will be able to start the game with a clear understanding of the storyline and its main characters. The beginning of Bayonetta 2 takes place soon after the proceedings of the first game, with Bayonetta and Jeanne enjoy a crisp winter day in the city atop a jet, train, and skyscraper battling angels. In an attempt to finish off a powerful angelic deity, Bayonetta summons a demon, but expectantly loses control of the beast. With the creature beyond her control, it looks to attack its former master, but Jeanne sacrifices herself to save Bayonetta. As a result, Jeanne’s soul is dragged to Hell, thus leading Bayonetta to vow to retrieve Jeanne’s soul before it is consumed and sentenced to eternal damnation.

Weapons, what would the human race do without them? Since the very beginning of sharpened flint and the classic sticks and stones, weapons have been a huge impact on the history of men. According to the official site of weapons during the Elizabethan era, one specific period in which weapons were of extraordinary criticalness, was an age in European history spreading over the sixteenth and seventeenth hundreds of years, known as the Elizabethan Era. In this period, numerous new weapons were made, old ones restored and changed, and still numerous others got to be out of date. The advancement of weapons and fighting amid this period not just affected the lives of those living in Europe in the sixteenth and seventeenth hundreds
The battle of Saratoga was a significant turning point in the American Revolutionary War. This key conflict was, in fact, two significant battles that shaped America’s struggle for independence. The battles were fought 18 days apart in the same location - 9 miles south of Saratoga, New York. John Burgoyne, the British General, had an initial strategy to divide New England from the southern colonies. This was at first successful when the British took Pennsylvania, but hit a snag when Burgoyne met the Continental Army at Freeman’s Farm on September 19, 1777 - the first of the Saratoga battles. This was a tactical victory for the British, but it came at a price, as their casualties were heavy. It was known that the British won this Battle at Freeman’s Farm, but in actuality, they didn’t have many troops left. On October 7, in the Battle of Bemis Heights, the second Battle of Saratoga, Britain attacked America again as Burgoyne took the offensive. The troops crashed together south of the town of Saratoga, and Burgoyne's army was broken and his command captured. At this battle, the Americans were able to capture a large number of British troops, ultimately resulting in Burgoyne’s surrender on October 17, 1777. The Battle of Saratoga is well known to be “one of the most important victories of the conflict and an early success for the colonists.” The victory gave new life to the American cause at a critical time. Americans had just suffered a major setback at the Battle of Brandywine. They had also received news of the fall of Philadelphia to the British. Significantly with the success at Saratoga, France gained the confidence to enter the war as an American ally. The Battle of Saratoga was a war-altering conflict between the America...

I was able to listen to two versions of the story surrounding the Jersey Devil while conducting research for this assignment. The first story teller is an 18 year old female from Rockaway, New Jersey. This town is a suburban community in northern New Jersey with the majority of residents belonging to the economic middle class. I collected this story during a trip to see my parents on April 1, 2006 at the story teller’s home. She told me the story shortly after dinner so it was nearly dark when she told me the story. The second story teller is a 15 year old female that is also from Rockaway, New Jersey. This story teller also told me the story of the Jersey Devil on April 1, 2006, and also delivered the story from her home during dinner.

In the console-gaming world people know Sony and Nintendo. Microsoft may be the largest and richest software company in the world, but it’s unknown when it comes to console gaming. Microsoft is counting on the Xbox to change that perception. Gamers may not be willing to take a chance with the Microsoft Xbox, even if it is far superior to any console ever made. Nintendo Gamecube is nothing if charismatic. Nintendo’s new machine is half the size of any other console and looks like a toy with its brightly colored plastic shell and handle. It’s destined to be home of such popular games as Mario, Donkey Kong, Pikachu, and Kirby. Nintendo Gamecube seems mismatched as it goes up against the Microsoft Xbox and the Sony Playstation 2 (a multimedia mayhem that Sony says it’s supposed to be “The Future Of Entertainment”). All this makes you think; what makes Nintendo believe it can possibly go up against the ultra-sophisticated Xbox.

“Is this a kissing book?” the young boy asks his grandfather in disgust as he lies ill in bed. Unfortunately for the boy, there is a fair amount of kissing in this story, but there’s also sword fighting, revenge, and daring rescues. It is these elements that make The Princess Bride, based on the book by William Goldman, such an enjoyable film.

The cult classic movie The Princess Bride has a connection to the Greek myth of Pomona and Vertumnus and to Apollo and Daphne’s tale. They share a similar theme of disguised seduction that is crucial to the plot. This being one using deceit or a disguise to make the one they are after fall in love with them. These are not the only stories that use this theme, but they are the most notable.
