Don't really play any online games

Ever since i was 5 years old i use to play video games and my first console was playstation 2 and would go to play it until it stop working in 2012 and play xbox that i got on my 12 birthday and play the console from 2012 to 2016 where i move to play playstation 4 cause i happen to be a playstation kid and would play online where mostly it'll succend or bad which i try my best and not throw in arguments which was the worst part that being on overwatch that i really didn't like facing and would play tf2 on my laptop. Later on i would slowly but surely move on from playing online mulitplayer cause it's either hard for me or that the players would win or i stop playing. I don't lnow this may feel random but i stop playing it cause overwatch 2 has gotten bad i can't play tf2 on my computer or laptop and need a gaming laptop or computer who knows but i may online multiplayer only with friends or on my own somehow but overall i just take a break from it. 

Sodor: The Dark Times

Back in 2009 i stumble across a video made by Richard Jordan aka Skarloey123 that made a video series call Sodor Dark Times this change the fandom of Thomas the Tank Engine where it takes the story very seriously and mature that is different from the show after the video conclusion other thomas youtubers would take inspirations from it and do their own mature thomas series. 

If you want the story i'll explain. 

The story opens with Henry taking a goods train to knapford only to feel unwell and ask james to take it but doesn't and henry would stop after his smokebox burst. Edward and Percy arrive but percy takes the trucks from henry only to realize that henry is gone after thomas tells him that which edward takes percy away gordon tells thomas to let henry rest in peace that moment is still in my mind. 

Alfred appeared in the next video and would have been the number 3 but gordon however didn't get along with him. He would receive a nightmare where alfred killed henry only for the others to dismissed gordon's accusation however it wouldn't been until gordon spotted alfred at knapford station talking with another engine as they plan to kill the engines and use of gunpowder and explosives, next day gordon and alfred took a passenger train to vicarstown. Alfred would find out that gordon discover him and his plan after he mention about henry and alfred's previous number who was sent away and alfred plan to bomb across the north western railway unsuccesful to stop him and a race back to save the others but gordon didn't save them. 

The Third video where it gotten pretty dark gordon would arrive at the station and see his friends killed from the explosion thomas james edward and percy all killed from it. Toby try to help gordon but couldn't help but feel bad too later on alfred killed another engine which push the two engines to stop alfred and made a journey to find and stop alfred. Toby stay behind and gordon went ahead to save his brothers and sacrifice himself and kill alfred and toby is now the last survivor of the railway the video ends with a picture of the north western railway engines and gordon being call a hero. The series was different from any other thomas fan series that was being made at the time and would serve as a inspiration for those to make their own thomas trainz series. I recall seeing skarloey123 work around the summer of 2009 and the it never left my mind and was amazed but mostly shocked of how the series change the thomas fandom sure there's been two oher darker thomas series that gotten made and was different from the show and books sure there was season 5 of the series and known for it's spooky darker season but with fog explosive landside avalauche flood boudler etc. But it did had brighter moments and i guess sodor dark times was inspired by season 5 but without sdt there would be no darker take on thomas the tank engine whatever or not you like it. 

Trainz 19

After some time later and had thoughts about Trainz 19 after thomas youtubers use trainz 19 in their videos i couldn't help but want to buy it for myself and uninstall some games on my computer that is not a gaming on but i will plan to get one around this year or next year. The game is fun and try thomas models and download the rolling stock and trains did a little here and there even taking a ride on them. To be honest i really have fun playing the gmae i always want to play trainz when i was 12 years old and try to play after seeing wildnorwester sodor the early years and modern years that i recommend watching. 

But the game does have some problems and try to get the game to run smoothing but you know how computer can get lagging and check around to see if its okay but i do need a gaming pc or gaming laptop where i can play my other pc games and rollar coaster. I look playing the game and gives me memories of playing games on my old computer when i was little. 

Spider Man 2 PS5 (Sequel)

 

So this may sound crazy but wow was this trailer got me and my friend excited and to be honest i am looking forward seeing Spider Man 2 on PS5 now that i'm likely gonna get around this year or my birthday the story takes inspiration from the symbiote storyline (Earth 616 and 1610) Plus there has been changes to the game itself too with the character faces being different than before but i'm not gonna talk much about it. But i really like the trailer so much and seeing Spider Man in his symbiote suit looks awesome and i get to know why they didn't included it in the first game the suit itself. The game brings in how Peter has change and is not himself which is concerning his friends and everyone around him miles and Mj has to help peter before he loses his mind meanwhile harry has been fighting cancer and was kept away in a tank to recover but venom symbiote has bonded with him which was reveal and boy did it exploded in a positive way. 

I am hype for this game and look forward playing the ps5 when i get it around my birthday. 

The Rise and Fall of Ultimate Marvel

It's been interesting but very much looking back at the early 2000s whenever it's the movies shows places we remember as kids video games and books you name it but there's one universe that Marvel reimagined before that was a realistic take on the characters which was Spider-Man Iron Man X men Fantastic Four Avengers you name it before it went downhill. 

The Universe was written by different writers so let's begin this topic shall we. 

Background 

In the late 1990s, the US comic book industry had declining sales. Annual combined sales from all publishers, which had been close to a billion dollars in 1993, had declined to 270 million. The bubble that held comic books as valuable collectible items burst. In addition, the poor reception of the Batman & Robin film cast doubts on the prospects of any other comic book cinematic adaption. Marvel Comics went through a Chapter 11 bankruptcy, many notable artists left the company, and their rival, DC Comics, topped them in sales.Marvel Comics realized that they need to do something and decided to do heroes reborn and spider man chapter one as a fresh start for a potential universe but they didn't work out instead they had to figure out another idea Brain Michael Benids was approach to write and decided to do his work on Spider Man after Quesada hired him from his indie comic books he thought of teenager heroes, most of the characters were often adults or teenagers the younger adult audience had changed when the release of the matrix. Although X men and Spider-Man are teenagers cause most the heroes were adults and begin discussing the idea with the writers on board. 

Ultimate Marvel Beginnings 

While the imprint of the story of being made Bill James and discussing it with Wizard Magazine and discussing what could be the problem that the readers over the fact it was gonna be seen as a reboot and they know who the characters are instead they decided to try on Ultimate Spider Man and how he start his career as a teenager. They would later try the other characters too. It was than that Brian Michael Bendis was hired by Quesada who did a modern setting for Spider Man and did a narration style he thought of a rewrite on Amazing Fantasy #15 comic (the debut of Spider-Man), in a modern setting. Bendis preferred to avoid that writing style completely. Instead, he changed the narration style, so that it resembled a TV series more than a classic superhero comic book. There were no thought bubbles or long expositions, and the first issue did not feature any superhero costume. The art was created by Mark Bagley, known for his work on Spider-Man and Venom stories in the 1990s. The Bendis/Bagley partnership of 111 consecutive issues made their partnership one of the longest in American comic book history, and the longest run by a Marvel creative team, beating out Stan Lee and Jack Kirby on Fantastic Four

Golden Age 

With the success of Ultimate Spider-Man comics this allow marvel to do their take on Avengers X Men Fantastic four between 2001 and 2004 Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Millar would write Ultimate X men Ultimate Fantastic Four and Ultimates. They were really at the peak of the ultmate universe didn't need to worry about earth 616 this was the take that would re-imagine the characters and tell their own stories. But Mark had some issues with x men lore mainly he wasn't familiar with it which i don't blame him. Fantastic Four were re-imagined as teenagers and the avengers were call the ultimates. Iron man was a alcholic Captain America has a rash soldierly personality, Hulk was written as a murderous and cannibalistic monster that kills hundreds of civilians, and Thor was ambiguously introduced as either an actual Norse god (as in the main comics) or a man with stolen weapons and a psychiatric disorder. Nick Fury, originally a caucasian character in the Marvel-616 Universe, was modeled after the actor Samuel L. Jackson, and the new design eventually overshadowed the original one, being incorporated into the mainstream Marvel-616 universe and all new media adaptions of the characters. Brian would fixed the clone saga with issue 107 after fans backlash towards the 90s clone saga wasn't received he would write the symbiote arc that took inspirations from earth 616 symbiote storyline and have eddie brock and peter parker know each other when their dads work together before the plane crash. Daredevil Dr Strange and other characters were brought in and their backstories were different than before. It seems that between 2002-2007 was the golden age of ultimate marvel imagine that today not just that ultimate spider man was enjoying a success in comic book sales and this is where things took it's fate. 

Fall 

Unfortuntely things don't lasted longer behind the scenes at Marvel things weren't too good as Jeph Loep was hired after Bill Jemas was fired and ultimate iron man was received but wasn't really received and instead retcon and this is where the universe was changed ultimates 3 and ultimatum were published between 2008 and 2009 where the event took the worse and killed off the characters oh it also have scarlet witch and quicksilver in a relationship creepy. Now if you don't want to read this feel free to do so but if you want to stay and here more than by oh means. But if ultimates 3 got any weirder and badder scarlet witch is killed by a ultron andriod and the sex scandal between iron man and black widow that was distracting the ultimates. Magneto enraged by his daughter's death leaves to savage land and gets confronted by the utlimates. Hank pym under house areest however hank and his wife would discover the truth on ultron robot that has carried on the idenitiy of yellowjacket and use their teammates dna that duplicates use, hawkeye kills quicksilver and the plot was created none other than Doctor Doom. Yeah this plot was so bad that even the readers wonder why this was neccesary well if you happen to hear this or not, bill jemes was fired in 2004 millar and hitch left ultimate marvel and they decided to create a event that would be a final blow to the universe. If that's not bad enough ultimatum was where everything fall apart and if your favorite character survived or not than prepare for what's coming next, ultimatum kill off it's characters that was angel nightcrawler cyclops polaris emma frost wolverine magneto blob dr strange toad daredevil moon knight beast you name it all of those characters that the ultimate universe were all gone and the mutant gene wasn't born that the mutants would have instead a super soldier project that didn't work and quicksilver happens to be alive. 

This was a disaster for Ultimate Marvel and ultimate spider man managed to do well in sales but sadly the universe wasn't really same after 2009 the universe was relaunched in to Ultimate Comics but never really capture the golden age of ultimate marvel line as Spider man in this universe would be killed off and replace by miles morales and the universe was rarely around before it's end in 2015 call secret wars. 

Legacy 

To be honest when looking back at Ultimate Marvel it really seem like that they had some much potential and creating their own storytelling and didn't need to worry about retcons nor how earth 616 contiunity. I recall reading their comics around 2008-2009 this was around Ultimates 3 and Ultimatum but never got to read it after hearing how bad it is even ign highlight it that you heard before, i readed ultimate spider man comics they were part of my childhood and would readed them during my second year at high school it was after ultimatum and death of spider man comic. After secret wars in 2015 show the universe was over but still existed i thought that was the end of it both comics were mention in a top 10 worst marvel comics list which i recall watching back in september 2015, it would have been in that in 2018 i watch owen likes comics videos on the universe how it's rise and fall. They live through the golden age and seeing it gotten worse and ultimate spider man trying to live on and reaching 150 and peter parker dying until he was reveal to be alive. But they would be a inspiration towards the marvel cinematic universe their characters and storyline would be in marvel's shows and movies with their recent comic out maybe it could come back to it's golden age.
