7 Things You Didn"t Know About Mario and Nintendo - http://clapway.com/2016/01/23/7-things-you-didnt-know-about-mario-and-nintendo/

Nintendo is the most recognizable and greatest video game company of all time. However, there are some things that are almost guaranteed to be unknown.

1 SEXY PLAYING CARDS

Yes, you read this correctly. Some people probably know that Nintendo sold playing cards, but did you know that they resembled lust?

2 BUSHES AND CLOUDS IN SUPER MARIO BROS.

Way back when Nintendo released Super Mario Bros, their game memory was very limited. This led to all of the clouds in the sky, and bushes on the ground being the same object. Take a closer look, and you will see they are the same object.

3 A JANITOR INVENTED THE GAME BOY

Many decades ago, Gunpei Yokoi, a maintenance worker, was working on the assembly line and was building a toy that would later be known as the Ultra Hand. This was just the start, as this would eventually lead to the phenomenon known as the Game Boy.

4 DUCK HUNT

Everyone remembers Duck Hunt, but did you know that it was practically a remake of Laser Clay Shooting System? The latter was a video game from 1973, and it can be thought of as the original Duck Hunt.

5 THE NES WAS NUMBER 1 UNTIL 2006

Many people still will say that the NES is the greatest video game console of all-time. However, did you know that, until the release of the Wii, the NES held the record for console sales?

6 MARIO CAN JUMP LIKE AN NBA STAR

Some research was done, and it was concluded that Mario, in the original Super Mario Bros, had a vertical leap of 27 feet. Let’s see LeBron James try and out-jump the real King!

7 SUPER MARIO KART PRACTICED DUI

Super Mario Kart is another classic Mario game, but the characters who were driving in this game should have been issued a DUI. At the end of a cup, the racers who won are shown drinking a bottle of champagne. Smooth move, Nintendo!

PS4 Multiplayer Games vs Xbox Multiplayer Games - http://clapway.com/2015/12/11/ps4-multiplayer-games-vs-xbox-one-multiplayer-games/

What is more fun than sitting down and playing a video game? How about sitting down and playing a video game with a buddy! Multiplayer games are always a blast to play because it is a totally different experience for gamers to play games with others. Both the Xbox One and the PS4 have terrific multiplayer games. Let’s take a look at the PS4 multiplayer games and the Xbox multiplayer games.

MULTIPLAYER GAMES ON BOTH PS4 AND XBOX ONE

Although there are exclusives on each system, there are also excellent multiplayer games that are present on both consoles. A big one is Destiny. Destiny came out with a ridiculous amount of hype and has mostly satisfied gamers. If nothing else, it is just a really fun game to play online and with friends. It is not a flawless game, but that does not mean that it is not extremely fun to play. Another big one is Borderlands: The Handsome Collection which includes Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. This is another first person shooter that includes a four player split screen to play with friends. Fry Cry 4 is another top contending multiplayer game and allows gamers to explore Kyrat with a friend. There are of course others, but these are three of the biggest and most fun.

PS4 MULTIPLAYER GAMES

The PS4 also offers some very fun exclusive multiplayer games. One of, if not the biggest, PS4 multiplayer games is Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. This is an MMORPG, mass media online role-playing game, meaning this game lives on multiplayer. Another really fun multiplayer game present on the PS4 is Helldivers. For those who have no idea what this game is, it is a top-down shooter. Be warned, this is not an easy game, but it is extremely fun to play with friends. Magicka 2 is another fun one, being an action-adventure game, however, it can be a hassle if you are playing with gamers that do not have much skill. This game requires the players to be in sync, and if they are multiplayer is really fun.

PS4 MULTIPLAYER GAMES IS HEADLINED BY FINAL FANTASY XIV: A REALM REBORN

Let’s face it, Final Fantasy is a game that would lead some fans to choose the PS4 for multiplayer. The franchise has that many devoted fans and is one of the most over the top popular gaming franchises ever. I think they have around 19,000 games released in the U.S. OK, so I am being sarcastic, but there have been a lot. You will not find this game on the Xbox One, and trust me many people would switch just to play this game.

XBOX MULTIPLAYER GAMES

The first thing that needs to be said is that there are loads of fun Xbox multiplayer games on the Kinect. However, it is fun as long as you like the idea of playing without a controller. One of the more fun games to play on the Kinect is Fantasia: Music Evolved. This is a motion controlled music rhythm game that will give people loads of multiplayer fun. However, outside of the Kinect, there is really only one multiplayer game that needs to be mentioned. Does Halo: The Master Chief Collection ring any bells?

XBOX MULTIPLAYER GAMES IS HEADLINED BY HALO: THE MASTER CHIEF COLLECTION

All that I said about Final Fantasy can be said about Halo. You can just copy and paste what was written for Final Fantasy in this section. The cult following of Halo is probably just as big as Final Fantasy’s. The Master Chief Collection gives users, if they buy the DLC, five Halo campaigns to play through via multiplayer. This has been well received by the critics, and it is one of the best multiplayer games on the market for any system right now.

WHAT WINS, XBOX MULTIPLAYER GAMES OR PS4 MULTIPLAYER GAMES?

Honestly, they both win. Yeah, that might be a lame answer, but the multiplayer games that they both have are awesome. Not just the exclusive multiplayer games but the one’s that are on both systems make both a winner. You can not go wrong with either one and maybe the only question you have to ask yourself is do you want Halo or Final Fantasy?

Bear Hunters Game in NJ was More Fun Than Deer Hunter Game on iOS - http://clapway.com/2015/12/09/bear-hunters-game-in-nj-was-more-fun-than-deer-hunter-game-on-ios/

Alright, so maybe this is a cruel topic but let’s face it the bear hunters that participated in New Jersey probably had more fun than anybody playing Deer Hunter 2014. New Jersey’s open season on bears has opened and the hunters over there sure got a lot of them. This, no doubt, led to many protesters voicing out against it. Maybe they should go play Deer Hunter and see if the real thing would be more fun!

BEAR HUNTERS GO WILD IN NEW JERSEY

There was a total of 216 bears that were killed on opening day of bear season. This number nearly doubled the amount of last year which was only 120. This means that the week-long season will probably shatter last year’s amount of 272 bears. Although there were protesters, a member of the Bureau of Wildlife Management, Carole Stamko, stated why the bear hunting is good. Stamko states that they have the densest black bear population and also the densest human state. He says the match is a perfect recipe for a human and bear conflict and reducing this is a priority.

BEAR HUNTERS HAD A BETTER TIME THAN PLAYING DEER HUNTER 2014

Some people despise the people who gain satisfaction by killing animals. However, it is a sport and many people enjoy in partaking in it. Deer Hunter 2014 is just a simple deer hunting game for the iOS. It has actually received some good reception from a variety of reviewers. However, there is no comparison from that and actually hunting bears.

IS BEAR HUNTING A BAD THING?

As mentioned earlier, protesters showed up to stop the killing of bears. There were signs across certain cities that linked the hunting to murdering bears. However, Stamko’s side of the story makes a lot of sense as well. Certain people just hate seeing any animal being killed, but it would also be awful if the bears over there took over. Personal preference will be the factor on the side that is chosen.

Swedish YouTube Star Earns $7 Million in One Year - http://clapway.com/2015/07/08/swedish-youtube-star-earns-7-million-in-one-year678/

Swedish 25 year old Felix Kjellberg is probably one of the most famous YouTube stars of the moment. He has over 37 million followers, which is more than Taylor Swift and One Direction. In July 2014 the channel surpassed Rihanna’s VEVO account and became the most viewed channel of all time.

He is known as “PewDiePie” on the video-sharing website and regularly posts videos of him commenting to video games he plays.

In an interview he described his activity as “commenting unpopular and bad video games and turning it into comedy.”

He is also in a relationship with Italian YouTube personality Marzia Bisognin, better known online as “CutiePieMarzia”.

kjellberg earned as much as $7 million

By the end of last year, it was reported that Kjellberg earned as much as $7 million in just one year. YouTube is a very profitable site for it’s biggest online stars mainly thanks to advertisements placed around their videos.

However, many criticized the amount of money he makes by just “sitting on his chair and commenting on video games.”

youtube star criticized for earning so much

The Youtuber, however, replied to all criticisms through a Reddit post and a video he uploaded last Tuesday called “Let’s Talk About Money,” which received 1.6 million views in just under 24 hours.

When addressing the criticisms, the Swedish gamer said: “”Whenever it comes out how much I made a certain year, people just get so shocked. A lot of people are also very, very angry. They think I just sit on my ass all day and yell at the screen over here. Which is true. But there’s so much more to it than that.”

”Money does not make you happy”

He also emphasised that he spent far more money on charities than on himself since his career escalated.

In the video, he also described how during his job selling hot dogs he was the happiest he’d ever been and that “although money matter to everyone, it does not make you happy.”
