Personal Narrative: The Xbox One

It all started at breakfast on one monday snowy monday morning. My brother Riley slid a piece of paper across the counter to me and said, “check this out!”. I glanced down to see that he had torn an ad out of a Wal-Mart magazine, an ad for the brand new gaming system the Xbox One. I read the ad and then,when Riley glanced at me expectantly, said, “It looks pretty cool I guess”. I wasn’t much of a video game player in truth so I wasn’t at all interested in the Xbox. My response, however, seemed to satisfy Riley for the moment and by the time I finished breakfast the whole encounter had gone from my mind. The next day I was doing homework in my room when Riley came in and sat down on my bed. He then proceeded to tell my that he had been

    My Wii U has saved me from boredom everywhere I turn. With it, I can get through a long night of boredom without having to take a break from studying though the system itself is rated badly in reality I think it is actually a great system that Nintendo has been using correctly. The idea of having two screens, one being the TV and the other the Wii U gamepad is a great idea that works especially if you don’t have access to the TV then you can just plug headphones into the gamepad and play using that. That way, no one can complain that you’re hogging the TV.…

There is no comment to explain to me of how dependent I am on these upcoming moments for the team, so don’t make it any worse. To start off and to have the power to set the tone of the whole inning.…

    Although much of my time is dedicated to school I try my best allot myself time to work on my own personal projects and interest. In my free time I enjoy tinkering with software and giving my electronics capabilities they were not designed for. I have installed several custom operating systems ,ROMs ,and applications on both my computer, android devices, and gaming consoles that give me the ability to use them for their real potential. One on my most fun projects was installing custom firmware on my portable game console in order to give it the ability to emulate retro game consoles. It was a lot of fun for me to research the topic and get it to work through trial and error.…
