EPISODE VI: I, AM YOUR FATHER

EPISODE VI: I AM YOUR FATHER

I'll be honest, I grew up surrounded by video games and anything Nintendo related. I wasn't like all you other guys growing up with Disney and Spongebob or whatever. Instead, I grew up with Super Mario and The Legend Of Zelda. You guys would watch all these Disney movies, like Lion King, a movie about a cub losing his father and replacing him and becoming a king. However I experienced something similar growing up. Star Fox anyone? You got Mickey Mouse, I got Super Mario. You got the Disney Princesses, I've got Princess Zelda and Peach (lol). You get the idea. However though, I found myself getting tired of Nintendo, as I grew older, and the games and consoles came, my interest in that started to decrease. The N64, I loved it, Gamecube? Loved it, SNES? Yeah that too. But Wii? It didn’t last me a long, a bunch of mini games on that system, I felt that Nintendo is starting to attract the casual gamers and starting to ditch its hardcore crowd (like myself).

But hopefully that’s all about to change, because last week. The newly announced Wii U was revealed. I couldn't breathe. I had a mini heart attack.

Feast your eyes on the successor to the Wii. Goodbye is the outdated graphics, the horsies mini games, and the unsuccessful exercise games. The Wii U is capable of having 1080p high definition visuals. Which is the highest resolution today, and it competes with its other rival consoles like Xbox and PS3. On top of that, the Wii U is backwards compatible, meaning it could play your old Wii games, and your also able to use your old Wii controllers as well.

Speaking of the controller. One of the highlights of the reveal was the new controller. A controller that’s going to change gaming. The controller looks like an iPad, or a tablet, but with buttons. It consists of a 6 inch touch screen, 2 control sticks, the directional pad, the face buttons such as A B X Y. Shoulder buttons like L and R, and a built in microphone and camera on both front and back. Apparently, despite the awkward look of the controller, critics say it feels and handles very nicely. They compared it to the iPad 2 but with buttons and a grip. However, my favorite part is being able to switch the tv screen to the screen on your controller. If another family member wants to watch tv, and your on the Wii U, fear no more! You're able to switch from the tv screen to the controller! I recommend you check the video below, it'll show exactly what I'm talking about.

Enough of the system and controller. What about the games? Like I mentioned earlier, the Wii U can support 1080p resolution. So expect the same visuals as a Blu Ray player or PS3. With that being said, imagine a more beautiful Super Mario or Legend of Zelda game. Nintendo's games are known for having such lovable characters and storyline, but what I really love the most was the world we explored in those games. These worlds are so vibrant and colorful, those were some of my favorite moments in Nintendo games. Exploring these worlds were such a great adventure when I was younger, so imagine them on the Wii U.

Nintendo already announced (not revealed) a new Super Smash Bros and a sequel to the one of the greatest games on the Wii, Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess. But what about the third party developers? Games like Assassins Creed, Battlefield 3, Batman Arkham City, Ghost Recon, Tekken, Darksiders 2, Ninja Gaiden 3, and more are being revealed. Don’t believe me? Check out the video below. The first half of the video is about the developers first impressions on the Wii U, the other half, demos all the upcoming third party games.

Too much too take. Its so beautiful. Like I actually cried. It seems like Nintendo heard its fans from the 90's and are returning to them. They are coming back to its roots. I was loosing faith on Nintendo. I wasn't satisfied with the Wii, it lasted me for about less than a year, and its games were pretty boring for a hardcore gamer. But when Nintendo revealed this system, I knew right away that Nintendo coming back. The 3DS is just the tip of the iceberg, and Nintendo is just getting started.

Untitled Wii U Zelda Project. Looks like a sequel to Twilight Princess.

EPISODE V: JUDGE ME BY ME SIZE, DO YOU?

EPISODE V: JUDGE ME BY MY SIZE? DO YOU?

My past 4 blogs have been about the same thing over and over. I don’t regret doing them but this time around I feel like I should be blogging about something other than anything geeky related, something different. So I was on my iPod today listening to my everyday music, and then my fifth blog post came to mind. Why not blog about the kind of music I listen to, the kind of music nobody likes, yes, post hardcore music.

I’ll be blogging about post hardcore music, you know when you turn on the radio and you listen to th---, oh wait, they don’t play post hardcore music in the radio. Why? Because it’s the kind of music that has requires no talent and has no melody. The kind of music where the lead vocalist screams nonsense on the mic. The kind of music where its so underground that they don’t even play on the radio. The kind of music where the guitarist plays the same notes over and over again. The kind of music that’s the crappiest genre out there.

But I’m here to prove you wrong.

Post hardcore music is great, actually, its freaking amazing. You would think that its just noise at first listen, but when you put a lot of personal research into the lyrics, the album artwork, the band name, and the song names, it can get really moving and things start to get serious and intense. I got my younger brother and my other friends into this kind of music, and I’ll try to get you readers to reconsider too.

We hear the song and right after 20 seconds in we change it, we change it because the guy is screaming like he’s being murdered. First off all, screaming takes talent, just like playing the guitar or learning how to sing. Its not like you just scream into a mic and that’s it, there’s more to it and there’s an actual technique.

Speaking of vocals, that brings me to my next segment, the song names and lyrics. And no, not all of it is “emo” (stop saying that lol, its gone and its dead). Personally, this is my favorite parts in screamo music. Not all of their songs include screaming, there’s singing too. However, bands get really, really, really deep and creative in this. A perfect example of this is a song called “You Be Tails, I’ll Be Sonic” by a band called A Day To Remember. I want you to hear the song as you read further. I’ve linked the song below.

You Be Tails, I’ll Be Sonic - A Day To Remember

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvDyebNDZWE&safety_mode=true&persist_safety_mode=1&safe=active

Luckily, A Day To Remember is fronted by a great vocalist that can actually sing, so you can bear through this one easier. The song opens up one guitar, with a heavy rift, you also get that feeling where your anticipating a scream any minute. “He’s gonna scream any minute, I know it” The first verse is this:

I’m a mess

that’s the best way to describe it

Having no time to myself is the only way I could fight it

When I’m alone, its like im staring right into a mirror.

Don’t know the person inside it and that’s never been any clearer

Now tell me, HOW THE **** CAN YOU GET LYRICS LIKE THAT INTO A SONG LIKE THIS? Its amazing, its deep, and its gets even better.

I miss your family and I miss all our friends,

If you had it to do over would you do it again?

Cause I would

This meant something more to me

There’s a whole in my heart where you used to be.

Ouch, take a wild guess to where this song is going. You’ve probably figured out the song meaning now, but what about the song title? You Be Tails, I’ll Be Sonic? No, he’s not referring to heads or tails, he’s talking about a video game characters. The writer of this song is trying to relate his relationship with his girlfriend or wife with the characters of Sonic and Tails. Like I mentioned earlier in my blog, it would take a lot personal research to grasp the full meaning of the song.

What I really like about the albums in hardcore music, is the fact that they don’t have their faces in the front cover. We walk into music stores in HMV and we see Justin Bieber’s face in the front cover of his latest album, I found that most of the mainstream artists do that. But with underground hardcore music, these covers have meaning. Here’s an example, take a look below and guess. Remember to keep in mind the artwork, and remember to look at the band name and album name.

OMG IT’S A TERRORIST ATTACK. Okay, now look at the track listing.

1. House of The Anubis

2. Epiphany

3. The Wretched

4. Consider It Mutual

5. 2012

6. Dream Catcher

7. Like Father Like Son

8. Battle Royale

9. You’re All I See

10. We Know Who You Are

De-ceive

1. (of a person) Cause (someone) to believe something that is not true, typically in order to gain personal advantage.

2. (of a thing) Give a mistaken impression.

What do you think? At first glance, we see a faceless man holding a ski mask. Right off the bat we tell ourselves that this is evil music. But think again, its not. The concept of this album is about deceiving. First off, the tracklisting. Every single song in this album is about deceiving, something that isn't true. 2012? We Know Who You Are? Ok what about the album cover? We see a faceless man with a ski mask. Judging by his attire, we can tell that he works for some mafia organized crime stuff. And look at his stance too, as if he's obeying someone more powerful than him. But what does that have to do with deceiving? Well first of all, your hiding your face when you comit crimes, your hiding your true identity. Thats just my interpretation of all this.

Finally, my last section will be about screamo music itself. What this kind music does great is that its really fast paced music, music that gets you pumped and energetic. At live shows, bands really get the crowed going, its boring if your that one person hanging out in all the way in the back, with your arm leaning on the fence and your bobing your head to the beat, its boring. Your supposed to get in there and get all pumped and energetic!

I’ll also add that nowadays, there are many different types of hardcore music. There’s just the standard one with a five piece band. But then there’s bands that combine both hardcore elements and then electronica/techno thing, a great example that combines these two is a band called Attack Attack!

Smokahontas by Attack Attack!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OG-RNq7oRUM&safety_mode=true&persist_safety_mode=1&safe=active

That’s not the only one, there’s also bands that combine the hardcore yells and instruments, but also has a lead singer’s that come from a soul/ R&B background. This song combines them all, its great and you should definitely give it a listen. Actually, give the whole song a listen, cause around halfway through is something that I found very suprising. I found this band really creative, it combines all of what I  mentioned. Amazing, real singing, different but good screams, fast guitars, and a rapper.

Spooks by Dance Gavin Dance

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKqc8-MJhuY&safety_mode=true&persist_safety_mode=1&safe=active

Another good thing about hardcore bands that play live, is that some bands tend to add an "intro" or "opening" song to their live set, that then flows into the next song. Most of these songs last to about under a minute. Here's a good example of that:

A Milli - Of Mice & Men

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKqc8-MJhuY&safety_mode=true&persist_safety_mode=1&safe=active

Live version that flows into the first songhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmIDhlqfulU&safety_mode=true&persist_safety_mode=1&safe=active

I could go on about the different types all day but I have one final one to show you. Since hardcore music is really fast paced, energetic music, there’s always going to be that ONE song by EVERY SINGLE hardcore band that is a short, but sweet, song. They last over 2 minutes or under 2 minutes or even over a minute. Here are some good examples.

Wonderland - I See Stars

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1t4MzlC-sg&safety_mode=true&persist_safety_mode=1&safe=active

To wrap things up, next time you hear screamo on the internet, give it a listen and think twice before pausing the song. Yeah okay sure, its noise, but there’s meaning, keep in mind that saying "don't judge a book by its cover". Post hardcore music is energetic, its supposed to be fun. At the ancient dark days, screamo music was about cutting your wrists and BS like that, that’s all out of the way and hopefully gone forever. Like I said, this kind of music is about getting you pumped up. Also, this kind of music has lyrics that have intense, deep meanings, metaphors in every sentence. Keep in mind, the lyrics, album cover, song titles,and what they really mean? I hope this blog post made you appreciate my favorite kind of music.

EPISODE IV: (INSERT STAR WARS QUOTE HERE)

EPISODE IV: (INSERT STAR WARS QUOTE HERE)



I just want to get 2 things out of the way. 1, if your not a super hero geek, close this blog right now and read another blog, um I don't know, how bout a blog about Twilight? or Rebecca Black? or about how Justin Bieber got a haircut? Idk pick. 2. If you want to read my blog about a nerd geeking over superheroes in the media then continue.

Now that that’s out of the way, on to my blog. It’s a great time for us Superhero geeks, actually, its an amazing time. The highly successful theatrical movie release of Thor got pretty good reviews, with a 7.5 stars out of 10 on IMDB.com, IMDB are tough critics. On top of that, Captain America, X-Men First Class and Green Lantern movies right around the corner and are scheduled for a summer 2011 release. What about next year? Summer 2012? The highly anticipated Dark Knight Rises which is the final chapter of the 3 movies, The Amazing Spiderman reboot and my personal favourite The Avengers, things really couldn't get any better for us geeks.

Oh wait, yeah they can, what about the video games? Don't forget about the video games too. New super hero video games are also in development, like Batman Arkham City, the sequel to the game of the year contender Batman Arkham Asylum. Along side Arkham City, are Spiderman Edge of Time and X-Men Destiny. I would mention the upcoming movie games like for Captain America, Thor and Green Lantern, but movie games tend to be awful. Also, if you haven’t already played Marvel Vs Capcom 3, then get on it, you missing out on life.

Kick Ass, my personal favorite superhero/superhero movie.

Another favorite superhero is Daredevil, lets not talk about the movie.

But my blog won't be about having an unhealthy obsession over superheroes. I could talk about them all day but that’s not what I want to blog about. I want to discuss super heroes in movies: Why are super hero movies so damn successful? Why are they so popular? Have movies such as The Dark Knight and The Spiderman movies changed your opinion on super heroes? And what makes these movies so intriguing?

 Lets begin with Marvel Studio’s strategy when it comes to movies. I wanna quickly point out that I can not wait for the upcoming Avengers film, scheduled for a Summer 2012 release. Why is it so awesome you ask? Well every comic book nerd would know that The Avengers is a super hero team that consists of Captain America, Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk and Thor. Yep, those movies and trailers that we’ve all seen on the big screen in the past. And if you stay long enough after the credits, there are even little easter eggs that make the fans get even more pumped for the Avengers movie. The point of the ending easter eggs are that they are all being connected into the Avengers Movie, and that all those movies (Hulk, Iron Man, etc) are being crossed over and leading up to the Avengers Movie. I really like how Marvel Studios is doing this. The Avengers movie has been in development since 2005. Oh, I’d also like to add that this is the Marvel Comics movie being produced by Walt Disney Pictures ever since they bought Marvel Studios back in 2008, so its kind of a big thing.

That+ That + That +That + That + That = That

Meet the cast of The Avengers. 

Robert Downey Jr. Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth. Chris Evans. Sam L Jackson, Jeremy Renner and Mark Ruffalo. BTW they forgot Cobie Smulders in this picture.

The Dark Knight is the perfect example of an amazing super hero film. Not only is it so spectacular and chaotic, it just combines super hero action and drama, scene after scene, the audience is so into it and cannot take their eyes of the movie. The Dark Knight was nominated for 8 Academy Awards and winning two of them, including Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role. Yeah, Heath Ledger won an award for the role as The Joker while he was dead, the movie is that good. Also, it isn’t your typical comic book super hero movie. Directed by Christopher Nolan, the mastermind behind Inception and Memento. Thank you, Nolan, for making me really like Batman and The Joker.

Another point that makes these super hero movies so intriguing, is the fact that they give us a chance to escape reality. Superhero movies have explosions, chase scenes, action and adrenaline and even drama, giving the audience a fictional yet beautiful world. Watching one of these movies gives us a chance to escape the real world and forget your stress and problems. But to us freaks and geeks, these super hero movies are just realizations of our favourite fictional worlds. What about the CGI? The computer generated images in movies are another reason why we watch them too. Look at movies like Thor, Iron Man or even Transformers, the CGI in those films are just hands down amazing. CGI is also another reason why super hero movies are so damn popular. CGI has become so realistic that they can recreate all those fantastic super powers, creatures and worlds in a believable and beautiful way. Check out the Transformers 3 Trailer below for a perfect example of amazing CGI.

To wrap things up, Superhero movies are amazing and is definitely my favorite types of movies. They give us viewers a chance to escape the real world, and live in the fictional world, filled with beautiful CGI. Not only are the super hero movies fueled with intense action and adrenaline, but they also give us real life drama to make the characters and conflicts feel more realistic. Super hero movies isn't just aimed at nerds anymore, their main demographic is anyone. If you thought super hero movies are for losers, then do yourself a favor, grab some popcorn and go watch The Dark Knight if you haven't already.

Always wondered Johnny Depp, Olivia Wilde, James Cameron and Seth Rogen's favorite super heroes are? Check out Celebrity Favorite Superheroes video above.

EPISODE III: THIS ISN'T THE BLOG YOUR LOOKING FOR

Episode III: THIS ISN'T THE BLOG YOUR LOOKING FOR

3DS is out, should you care?

I got the chance to pick up Nintendo's latest creation. Their latest device called the Nintendo 3DS. Ok so who cares? Its just alternate version of the Nintendo DS. Nintendo has done this before, making alternate version of the DS such as DS Lite, DSi, DS XL, and now 3DS. There's a catch though, the latest DS could be the best handheld instalment yet, and arguably their best creation up to date.

Feast your eyes on glasses free 3D.

Forget wearing 3D glasses, those were the dark days.

However, I do have mixed feelings with this device. So I'll start with the Pros first. At first I was definitely wowed, I couldn't believe the 3D effect, it was very breathtaking, viewing the 3D effect for the first time is very exciting. 3DS is definitely the greatest piece of tech I've tried since the Playstation 3. You really have to see the effect in person to believe it. There's also a sweet spot, if you want to see the 3D, it must be right in front of you, a slight tilt will ruin it. So friends watching you play right beside you won't be able to see the effect. Fortunately, Nintendo added a sensitivity switch for the 3D effect, switch the effect to on or off, how convient. (See picture below, sensitivity slider is located at the right side of the top screen.)

Enough of the pros, now the cons. Unfortunately after a couple of hours of play, the 3D effect is really irritating to the eyes. Not only does it make you dizzy, but I could feel my eyes getting blind. Nintendo even advises that you take 10 – 15 minutes breaks after every hour before you start a game. And speaking of games….

Thats you.

It only gets better. Nintendo fans rejoice. Fans familiar with Nintendo games will be pleased to know that a lot of Nintendo's first party games will be joining 3DS' library. Super Mario in 3D? Zelda in 3D? Star Fox in 3D? Heck yeah. Those are just a couple to mention, but how about all the third party developers? Imagine Sonic the Hedgehog in 3D? or Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid or Assassins Creed? Yeah I'm sold. (See pictures below for screenshot comparisons of The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 3DS Remake.)

Its ****ing beautiful! :D

However, my only concern with the games are the launch titles. The 3DS launched March 27, 2011. The launch games are awful. So awful that I didn’t even bother purchasing a game day one. Games go from Nintendogs to some random pilot game. I don’t care. Petting a dog in 3D? No thanks.

So how about the hardware? The 3DS has probably the best visuals up to date when it comes to handhelds. Its upgraded, and believe it or not, the 3DS' visuals are more stronger than Nintendo's previous console, the Wii. Even today, I'm still wowed by this, just the fact that it’s a handheld. The face buttons like A B X Y and shoulder buttons like L and R return, the D-Pad also returns but what's new this time around is the analog stick. It controls nicely. Also, camera's return, front and back, allowing you to take photos and save them on your device.

The 3DS also comes packed with 3 built in games and a Mii Maker (Just like the Wii's Mii maker, but better) The three games are Augmented Reality Games, or AR Games, Face Raiders and Mii Plaza. Out of the 3 I'd have to say Face Raider's is my favourite, its just hilarious. On top of the built in games, are Nintendo's new wireless feature called Street Pass. When your 3DS is on sleep mode, and you walk by someone who is also on sleep mode, you will trade Mii's and they will go to your Mii Plaza. What I really like about this is that you can see what other's have created. You can also create your own greeting for when you trade Mii's. I thought it was neat. At the moment, I've walked by 12 different people and collected 12 Mii's. Speaking of Mii's, the 3DS' version of Mii creator is very innovative. Allowing to take pictures of your face and generating it to make a Mii that looks like you. Its hilarious, me in Mii form is very scary, the resemblance is too much.

Unfortunately, the online friend messaging component sucks. Like a lot. Pictochat is gone and is replaced with a scaled down messaging systems that don't really work well. Also, the very awkward Friend Code system is back. What I also don't like is that fact that the Internet Browser isn't up and running, the option is there, but its not live yet. But thee BIGEST disappoint is the battery life. The battery is even worse than an iPod. Depending on your settings, 3DS can last up to 3 – 5 hours. Complete garbage. I personally think Nintendo did this on purpose to let kids rest and have breaks. 

My verdict? Its mixed, I have mixed feelings about the 3DS. Its without a doubt really impressive. Its possibilities with upcoming games, and an impressive hardware, its hard for hardcore Nintendo fans like myself to pass this offer. But there's a catch, there's always a catch. Disappointing online functionality and battery life. On top of that, having the 3D effect on constantly will strain your eyes. Personally, I think the pros outweigh the cons. On the bright side, the 3DS will have a great future. Things are looking really great so far, a promising line-up of games, and a lot more online services like DSi Ware. But I'm sorry, I can't pass down The Legend of Zelda in 3D, I'm sold.

So thats my review. Enjoy this Youtube video. The video showcases all the upcoming games for 3DS.

Episode II: ITS A TRAP

Episode II: ITS A TRAP

OK FINE, I LIED. All my post wont be about Star Wars, its gonna be annoying, so i decided to tackle another topic. This one being not as big as the the other posts, and speaking of which, there are like 5 or 4 blog posts about creatures (vampires specifically) and video games, so i said to myself, hell, why not combine the two and blog about that.

So i will, whats up zombies?

omg, their everywhere

Oh zombies, i love you, not only are you everywhere, (literally). Thank you zombies for not attracting little screaming 12 year old Bieber fans, thank you for being so intriguing and awesome, but most importantly, thank you for being in video games.

Personally, I think zombies are best represented in video games. There's nothing more awesome playing some good zombie game, running away from a mob of fleshing eating zombies and finding that trusty shotgun you left in the basement, then blowing them to shreds. On top of that, the suspenseful storyline of how it all started, learning that the main antagonist of the story is a bioengineering pharmaceutical company, creating viruses and bio weapons. Oh fun times indeed.

But lets not forget what makes zombies so appealing, what is it exactly? Is it the fact that they are also in movies, shows, comics and video games? The stories? the way they look? I dont know. I think ever since the invention of "Nazi Zombies", zombies became a worldwide addiction. Just like how vampires had twilight, zombies had Nazi Zombies. For those who dont know and are thinking "WHAT IS THIS NAZI ZOMBIE THING YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT SIR?" Its in a first person shooting game called Call of Duty. First appearance of Nazi Zombies was in the 2008 hit Call of Duty World At War. 

Yeah, this actually happened.

Enough of video games, what about movies and shows? Yeah, they have them too. Fortunately, its awesome, no Twilight love triangle BS. Zombie shows like The Walking Dead and movies like Zombieland and Quarantine  are insanely awesome and highly enjoyable. Comic books too such as the Walking Dead. 

I say zombies are way cooler and better then vampires or werewolves, they don't do any pedophile things like stalk you or want to suck your blood, but they actually give you the chills and scare you. Can you image a hungry flesh eating zombie chasing after you in the middle of the night? 

So I wanna ask you guys a question:

Zombies or Vampires? Why?

My vote is definitely on zombies, its the fact that their scary, the way the look, what they do, and how they do it. Its without a doubt cooler than vampires. To wrap things up, I think zombies should be more appreciated than vampires, everything entertainment that the zombie genre has to offer is way better than what vampires have. Zombie movies, games, movies, comics, books shows, destroy vampires. Enjoy my mini zombie gallery, recognize any of these?

Episode I: A Galaxy Far Far Away



Episode I: A Galaxy Far Far Away.

Oh HAI, i didnt see you there. My name is darthrasberry321 but people call me darthrasberry. I bet your thinking....."THATS AN AWESOME NAME!, HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH THAT?!?" Well let me tell you young one, at the time the force was strong with this one so I came up with two of my favorite words. Darth and Raspberry, and combined them together. From here on I will be blogging about everything Star Wars, believe it, and also believe that I am not typing with my fingers, i am using the force to type for me.

I've decided to dedicate my first blog about the world of Star Wars and how much of an impact it made on mankind. Star Wars (believe it or not) is the greatest thing thats ever happened to this place called Earth. I think everyone in this planet are familiar with Star Wars. If you've never seen Star Wars, then your missing out on life. Star Wars became a world wide phenomenon after its first movie, released 1977. At the time that movie was greatest, nothing else was like it, it was very original and after its released it has changed humans and the film industry forever. Star Wars was like, the James Cameron Avatar of this generation. BTW Star Wars is better than Avatar, like WTH is this Avatar movie anyways, Star Wars is also better than Harry Potter, Lord of The Rings, James Bond, and if anyone says Twilight is better than Star Wars i will force choke you legit.

Not only is Star Wars on the big screen, but theres also t.v shows, books, action figures, LEGO EVEN, comics, graphic novels and even video games. Its everywhere, I remember floating my way into Chapters and they had a whole aisle just dedicated to Star Wars. The world of Star Wars and all of its people and things are just awesome. You can't get anymore badass than Darth Vader or be more wise than Yoda. Every single character is very likable and there is not one character in Star Wars that you will hate. But what I personally think what makes Star Wars the greatest is not only its enviroment and characters, but the storyline. Star Wars is all about family. I don't wanna spoil it for those who haven't seen it, but Star Wars is all about family, from beginning to end. I personally think family is most important, nothing is more important that family. It touched me and it has made me cry. I shed a tear. I'm sorry, I couldn't cry at all at The Notebook or Toy Story 3, i cried my eyes out on Star Wars. 

Going back to when I said Star Wars has impacted mankind so much, I meant it in a good way. Take for example Grand Theft Auto the video game, watching Star Wars isn't gonna make you kill someone, its gonna wanna make you become someone like me, a total Star Wars geek. Star Wars is also a movie with tons of memorable quotes, classic ones like "Vader Luke, I am your father!" and "Leia I love you!/ Solo I know...". Star Wars has made a significant impact on the world, I can't even stress that enough. There have been so many parodies and such, its crazy. Family Guy has episodes and even DVD movies dedicated to Star Wars. Also, ever seen crazy Star Wars kid on Youtube?

When you think about it, Star Wars is somehow like the internet, how its changed mankind. Not only is Star Wars LITERALLY EVERYWHERE WOW. But its just an amazing storyline and series. It became a worldwide pop culture phenomenon. Everything is amazing in Star Wars, the characters, story, the world. From the lightsabers and force pushing, to the intense storyline, and to the very likable characters. Star Wars is definetely a movie series you shouldn't miss out.
