Technology Corner

Welcome back to technology corner, where you can float your boat with Robert Giardello and Roan Velasquez. We really like Video Games. Like, a lot. We play them a lot, they are cool because stuff…things. Roan’s favorite video game is a game called BattleBlock Theatre, and one of Robert’s favorite games is a game called Star Wars KOTOR or Knight of the Old Republic. These are not our #1 favorite games, but we decided to write about them instead of our favorite game because those are too explicit. We chose these games because they are fun, funny, blessed, and like Half Life 3. We are each individually going to talk about our games, what they are about, and why we like them so much.

 

Robert: Star Wars KOTOR

It is a Star Wars RPG. A RPG is a Role Playing Game. You start off by customizing your character and learning the controls. The choices you make can give you Dark Side or Light Side points, and these show where you stand on the good or evil scale. There are many different routes and paths you can take. If you do a Dark Side play you get a lot more money. Just to clarify you can do some things dark side and some things light side. By answering people truthfully in conversations you can find out if you are more likely to be with the republic or with the separatists if Star Wars was actually real. There are endless possibilities for what you can do and what your character is capable of, and don’t worry you have a party that consists of you and two other people you chose from a group of 9 when you unlock everybody, and these people vary in skill. It is worth it if you like RPGs and a heads up, if you want to finish the game and find everything and 100% it will probably take 35ish + hours.

 

Roan: BattleBlock Theatre

Do you want to play a game that’s fun, energetic, hilarious, and in all standards just an amazing game? If so then BattleBlock Theatre is definitely a game you’re going to want to check out. It is a platformer game, with over 80 levels to play, and a hilarious story with narrations like no other. The story starts off with a group of sailors who are in a ship with their captain, Hatty Hattington. Hatty Hattington is one of the most friendliest people of all time, which is why they chose him as captain for their voyage to find something, maybe they won’t even find anything, but as long as he is with them they are determined to find something in the sea. In the middle of their voyage, a HUGE storm occurs, and you crash into an unknown island. There, these cat people take Hatty Hattington and turn him into the complete opposite of what he is, a boring, mad guy that sits around all day. The story keeps progressing more as you go in, with hilarious cut scenes and dialogue that will make anyone laugh. Also, you can go to the community area and play fan made levels, and even make your own, so even after you beat the game, the levels are endless. Take this game into consideration, it is an awesome game and you’re sure to like it.
