#LongLiveTheBatĪ Penn State University chemical engineering professor is accused of bestiality with his dog in acts. So as his eightieth anniversary rolls around, I just want to take the time and acknowledge the character that has helped me and others rise from the darkness. He helped me channel all the rage and darkness I had at that young age and turn it into a force for good. Batman was the role model I needed in life at a dark time. He is just a human who is strong enough to overcome any obstacle that comes his way. He isn't a teenager with spider powers or an alien from another planet. Batman is much more than a guy who dresses up like a bat. That is something I heavily relate to because I have a similar family dynamic with my step-father taking me in under his wing to teach me how to be a man. He took in and fostered orphan boys and raised them on how to be good men. He trained, he studied, and he tried to be the best man he could be. The man did not let the traumatizing event of the death of his parents keep him down. He does the right thing because it's the right thing. He is someone who doesn't follow everyone else's agenda or ideas. So that's why I am proud of the account today and proud to be a Batman fan.īecause Batman is that outsider. But everyone else thought I was a weirdo. And I wasn't an overly weird guy, I just saw it as liking sports or video games. In both grade school and high school, I was shamed for liking superheroes and cartoons. I just wanted to create a community where people didn't have to feel afraid to talk about Batman. To me, I didn't set out to be insta-famous. I didn't know then, but I had opened myself to a bigger universe. In 2013, I finally created a YouTube page and he was one of the first people I subscribed to. It was such a unique approach to the video and I just marathoned his videos for the next couple of months. In the video, there was a commentator named kNIGHTWING01 and he was just talking about the different characters in the game you, the player interacted with. I just clicked on a Batman video with a fancy thumbnail and it was gameplay of the video game "Batman: Arkham City" (2011) that released that past fall. I was on YouTube just looking at the sidebar of recommended videos. I just so happened to stumble on Batman around February of 2012. But I didn't just want to be a casual reader. My first exposure to superheroes was around 2010 after the second Iron Man film. I didn't start liking Batman from a young age. So I went to cartoons and movies to help show me what type of person I wanted to be and strive to be to this day. Growing up as an only child, I obviously didn't have a lot of people in my life I could talk to. That is why these characters have lasted for so long. To help us with our tragedies or our insecurities. Thanks Virtual Console! Since this is my very first play through I have been relying on the rewind button a lot… I do intend to play it again once I’ve gotten through it once and maybe not spam rewind all the time.We are meant to look at these characters for guidance. A Link to the Past is probably not all that hard, but I’d rather play with a handicap since it is available to me to use. I don’t always have a great time when a game is just outright hard. I do find that the rewind feature on the Virtual Console has made playing A Link to the Past far easier, and for me that has made the game more enjoyable. I’m sure a lot of people will say that I’m taking away from such a great game, maybe I am, maybe I’m not. Having a rewind button makes my accident prone self happy that I can battle the third Dark World boss with three hearts and hit rewind every time I walk in to a spike. The rewind feature makes me want to play more of the older Z elda games, that I have also not played yet. I think the rewind button has made playing an older Zelda game so much more enjoyable. It is now the oldest Zelda game that I have ever played. The game is still rather stress inducing, but it’s fun. I’m enjoying the game a lot, a lot more than I did a year ago. Now that I have no more excuses I’m playing it again and sticking with it this time. A year ago I picked the game up again on the Virtual Console, and then put it down again – reason was I was pregnant and quite sick, and never really picked it back up again. I think I got through the first dungeon or two and then quit for a few years. I gave the original non digital version of A Link to the Past its fair shot, I really think that I did.
