Entry #9: Poison is less Toxic

 
        When I think of Social Media, I think of Poison Dart Frogs. Sure, they look like normal frogs, but when you touch them, you get poisoned. Does that mean that anyone who goes on Social Media needs to immediately head to the hospital? Well, maybe not an actual hospital but that is besides the point. Social media is quite an... interesting place that I tend to avoid. Many people find it strange, but I like to think it is for the best. So what do I mean by Social Media being like Poison Dart Frogs? Why do I not like Social media? Well, allow me to explain with a simple picture.

Mr. Beast getting backlash for helping the poor on Twitter: (https://twitter.com/Dexerto/status/1656669124452556806)

            This is exactly why I hate social media. People get mad over the smallest of things. In this case, he was literally helping people in need. How are people mad at this? Seriously, say what you want about Mr. Beast, but you cannot under any circumstances be mad at him for donating to the poor. The toxicity of these people needs to be studied. It is one thing to be toxic with friends in an ironic and satirical way. It is another thing being rude to someone for literally no reason. Then there are the people who just complain about dumb things. It really is just annoying. It does not get better with the constant brain rot on Tik Tok or the cringe all over every platform.
    
    I respect people who use it, but I just refuse to use it. The only social media I have is Facebook, and I only have that for my Oculus. I know that it can be used for good, but when so many idiots are using it to either be rude or post cringe it really just brings down the credibility of the platform. Sorry, but even Brittney Spears wouldn't want something this toxic.

Entry #8: Bring Back the Brothers!

    It's safe to say that everyone knows who Mario is, he's everywhere! He has all types of games like 2D platformers, 3D platformers, racing games, party games, and even Tetris like games. Though one of the most underrated types of Mario games is easily the rpg games. These games, from all the experience I have playing them, are amazing games. They're fun, funny, challenging, sometimes dark, and overall a great experience. There are 3 types: Mario rps, Mario and Luigi rpgs, and Paper Mario rpgs. Out of these three, my favorite is the Mario and Luigi series. Growing up, I had Mario and Luigi: Dream Team on the 3DS, and it was easily the best time of my life growing up. The music, the art style, the humor, it was all fantastic. However, there hasn't been a new Mario and Luigi game since 2019, and with the bankruptcy of AlphaDream, the developers of the Mario and Luigi series, things are looking bleak for Mario and Luigi fans. Is there any hope? Scene from the Mario Movie

Entry #2: Sonic Super-Disasters

      Sonic Superstars is the most recent Classic Sonic game to come out. Supposedly, this game was supposed to be the successor to the beloved game, "Sonic Mania Plus," which was a love letter to any Classic Sonic fan. With it also coming out 3 days before the highly esteemed, "Super Mario Wonder," it is safe to say that it had very big shoes to fill. When the game finally released, fans were disappointed to say the least. I got my copy along with Super Mario Wonder, and now all I can do is wish that I could travel back in time and stop myself from getting Sonic Superstars in the first place. This game did not live up to the hype that it had at its reveal. So why is this game so bad? There actually is a lot of reasons as to why this game is bad, but before I go over the bad, I do want to go over the good in this game.     To start with the good, this game has some amazing animation. The animation looks like it was ripped right out of the original games, and in some

Entry #1: It's Hobbin' Time

    Hello there readers, I am Colin Sweeney. A man, a myth, a legend? No, not at all. I am however a person, just like all of you; a person with hobbies. Yes, it is true that I do not have many hobbies, but the hobbies that I do have are rather fun. Of course there's my main hobby which is just napping, but more often than not, it is more so just me passing out of exhaustion rather than an actual hobby. No, my real hobby is playing video games. On the surface level, that does not sound like much of an interesting hobby, but once delved into a bit more, it can prove itself to be very interesting with all of its amazing components.     The first thing that makes video games so fascinating are their stories. Back then, stories were either thrown into the instruction booklet or did not even exist to begin with. Nowadays, a game can tell many stories due to prior limitations of the console. A good story for a video game can really enhance your enjoyment with the game, and in vise versa
