3 steps to kickstart your video Gaming Career: Steps 1-2

In today's blog we are going to help you figure out how to game, and how to do it right. In our previous blog post we have discussed with you which battlefield would be right for you. Now after some time to think on it, we hope that you have decided on what console that you want. No that you have picked one let's get started on the 3 main steps to get your gaming career going. The first step you should have already done.

Step 1: Choose your battlefield.

Choosing your battlefield, or in other words your game console, is the first and most important step. You can't play a video game without a game console. Now answer these questions: What kind of games do you prefer, blood and gore, action, speed, fun and games, or strategy and concentration?; Do you need 4K resolution, or does that even matter to you?; Do you prefer handheld consoles or controllers?; How long do you think you can play on your console at a time? 10 minutes? 2 hours? Answering these questions according to what you like and which one works best for you will determine which console you want, or lets say need. I'll go along with you on this new journey. The battlefield that I am choosing is the Wii U, and I am choosing this battlefield because I have mastered the usage of the Wii remote, pro controller, game pad, and nun chuck. I also like to play their games, such as Mario Bros. and Zelda.

Step 2: Choose your sword!

Choosing your sword, or game controller should I say, can be easy for some, and extremely difficult for others. The Xbox gives you a choice of two weapons, their Xbox controller or the Xbox kinect, which is basically just you, no controller in your hand. Pretty awesome right! The only downside to this is that you can only use it on certain games, which is indicated on the front of the case of the game.  PlayStation has three controllers to choose from, the PlayStation 4 controller, PlayStation Move, or the PlayStation camera, which is kind of the same as the Xbox kinect, you do not need a controller. And next you have the Nintendo Wii U's controllers, which include the game pad (which is my weapon of choice), the pro controller, the nun chuck, and the Wii remote itself. Only downside to the many selections that Nintendo gives you is that you can only use certain controllers for certain games. For example, for Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U you can use any controller of your choice, but for Need for Speed: Most Wanted you can use any pro controller and the game pad, but you can not use the Wii remote alone. 

So far we have discussed only two steps to becoming a master in gaming, and I have a third step for you. Be on the look our for my next blog for Step 3: Choose your battle!, or in other words, pick the games that you want to play. This step is where the action happens, so be ready!
