The Blackwell Legacy

Cuban Commentator as the player and Hannah as the observer. The Blackwell Series is owned by Wadjet Eye Games.

Hello! I'm the Cuban Commentator...

And I'm the English Evaluator...

You know what, games are very popular. They can be played on pretty much any electronic device. But some games are considered less than games and more like visual novels.

Yeah?

Aye, and a prime example are the PaC(Point and Click) Adventure games. The most notable are the games made by Humongous Entertainment with their Spy Fox, Putt-Putt, and Pajama Sam series of games. They lasted until the early 2000's when they were over shadowed by console game systems like the Nintendo Gamecube, Sony Playstation 2, and Microsoft Xbox.

I like PaC games.

As do I. These games are usually top notch, but are overshadowed by COD, Battlefield, and Mortal Kombat. But I really think that this Genre of games is the best because they have an infinite number of genres that you can cover. I've already mentioned the little kids' games by HE. But what's at the opposite of the scale? What is the opposite of talking cars, foxes, and whatever Pajama Sam is? What is the opposite of colorful games with friendly atmospheres?

Dark and gloomy.

Exactly. And in these HE games, no one dies. What's the opposite of that? Death of course. Now you would think that it be a game more like Mad World or the Godfather game right?

Yeah.

Well, not really.There's this game company called Wadjet Eye Games that specialize in these type of games. And their best games come from a series that ended this year in April. That game series is called Blackwell.

Oh?

Yes, I have played four out of the five games that are out and completed three of them and own them. They include The Blackwell Legacy, Blackwell Unbound, Blackwell Convergence, Blackwell Deception, and Blackwell Epiphany.

Okay.

For a quick synopsis, This game series mainly focuses on Roseangela Blackwell, the third in her family to recieve a sort of a family heirloom, a ghost by the name of Joey Mallone.

Okay, so what does Joey have to with this?

He is Rosa's connection to the spirit world. And he helps the spirits move on to the second life.

Okay.

This game is all in retro graphics, meaning everything looks a bit blocky.

Ah.

Now, in the first game, The Blackwell Legacy, We are introduced to Rosa and Joey. But the intro... Is lackluster to say the least...

Oh?

 Yea. Let's say that you hit brick walls a the first part of the game. You kinda need a walkthrough to help you out the first time. But I figured it out on my first try.

Cool.

And there is Dr. in the game that we lovingly call Dr. Exposition. He just spouts out the plot-holes in the story and fills us in. It's also where we hear the name 'Joey' for the first time.

Ah.

Yes. And later after Rosa comes home she meets Joey for the first time. Three guesses of what he is.

A ghost?

Yep. Joey Mallone. A spirit guide for the Blackwell family.

Okay.

Of course, craziness ensues. The first case deals with three girls who used a ouija board to call a spirit for fun. Little did they know that the spirit they summoned, The Deacon, would drive them to kill themselves. Two succeeded, but the last girl you help and send The Deacon to the afterlife.

So you really get thrown in at the deep end?

Pretty much. And you have to save The Deacon from the Devil too, but that's optional.

Ah so its not over or it could be, it's all up to you.

Well, it's over either way. Either you save him for the good ending or let him die for a more gray ending.

Ah.

What I like about this game is the Illusion of Choice.

I do think its different.

I like how you can choose how your character will be, but not really change the outcome.

Yeah and for the time it came out it would have most likely been a new thing.

Na, Halo already did it. Then the next game is Blackwell Unbound. This is more of a prequal game featuring Lauren Blackwell, Rosa's aunt, who died in the first game.

 Okay, she's the one that passed Joey along wasn't she?

Yes. And we are then introduced to Joseph Mitchell, a famous writer for The New Yorker. And a woman named the Countess, a former Meduim like Rosa and Lauren.

Okay.

And she just happens to be insane and kills people that Joseph Mitchell writes about.

Oh so casually kills them?

More like strangles them with the intention of freeing them since she thinks that she's still a medium.

Insane much?

Very. And it ends with you killing her by pushing her over your balcony.

Huh and does she think you're freeing her?

No. Then we go the next game, Blackwell Convergence.

Okay.

And someone makes a comeback. Three guesses who.

Joey?

Well duh, but the Countess makes a comeback and is killing again. This time as a semi-ghost.

Ah okay?

Yea, and this time she's using the Emails from a man named Charles Meltzer. He once knew Joseph Mitchell when he worked for the New Yorker and the Countess' link was passed onto him.

Ah okay. So you're after a killer ghost?

Yep. And you are introduced to Madeline, the Countess' former spirit guide, a ghost.

A good ghost or a bad one?

A good one it seems.

Good.

And then we move on to Blackwell Deception. Oh, and the later games after Unbound have a much better intro than the last two.

Yeah well they'll get better with practice.

No, I mean they start off with you saving a spirit.

Ah.

Yea.

So?

This game focuses on several murders that all connect to people seeing a man named Gavin. He basically was a sort of vampire who leeches off someone's good energy from them.

Oh like their life force?

Yes. Exactly. And he basically sucks the life out of them making them have no will to live.

Lovely not.

Right. And then the final game Blackwell Epiphany. Now since I never played it and only watched Let's Play videos on it, I can't say anything about it. But I can say this, it's the best ending to a game series since Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations.

And you love that game.

Right.

Anything to add?

Only that it's an awesome game series and that I wish there was a bit more of the series. But all good things need an ending.

Yeah.

The Real Game Wars

Warning!
This article contains sensitive subjects of video game violence and can be offensive to some viewers. We apologize in advance that your "precious" feelings were hurt and if you actually think that video games are the work of Satin and that they are used to train future serial killers.

Hello, I'm the Cuban Commentator...
I can't deny it, I'm a gamer. An avid one at that. I know about the Console Wars between Sega and Nintendo back in the 90's and the current war between Nintendo, Sony, and Mircrosoft right? Well, ever since the 90's there's been a war that has kinda gone on in the background and we don't really pay attention to it. But I think we have to now because it is getting worse. They're trying to outdo each other and its not working. And the side that is being effected aren't even fighting back and it's a war against gamers.

You'd think they'd at least try, like all the companies work together. Well all the companies want is cash. And do you know who is the main attackers in this war? The media. And a HUGE amount of parents. Do you know what games come under fire the most? Call of Duty, Battlefield, God of War, Mortal Kombat, and Left 4 Dead to name a few.

Then why make them if people are gonna complain?

Because they don't care and they know that these people are being stupid. If there are any adults reading this, You are forewarned because it is the truth and if you post a hateful comment, we will delete it. The fact of the matter is that these games warn parents well in advance about the content in the games. The ESRB rating system was set up after Mortal Kombat hit the arcades because parents didn't like how violent that it was. And do you know what? I think that the ESRB does good. Some games are given bad ratings, like Phoenix Wright: Duel Destinies receiving an M(+17) rating since the only thing that is violent are the murder scenes which are T(+13) rated, but they do a good job telling us about what type of game we are getting.

And even on here on Wattpad, we have a rating system in place to protect younger minds. And guess what, there are more E(Everyone) and E+10 games than there are T and M games. And you know what? Even some T rated games should be rated E+10. A prime example is the Trauma Center Series.  With the exception of Trauma Team. It gets a bit graphic.

And there's a warning for it on the case and the disk.

And people sure as hell complain about COD and BF. But, those games are so popular and make so much money, is it really worth it? I don't think so, and really. I don't think it matters because this is mainly about the whiners of the older age. People born in the 60's and 70's mostly. Things have moved on since then. And I think that video games are harmless. Completely harmless.

The target audience is usually mature enough for the game and as long as the gamers understand that its not real and you can't get away with half of what happens on the game its fine. But the sad thing is that there are some people that intergrate video games as their whole lives. And people have died wile doing it. There was a teen who went unconscious because he had played for 96 hours straight. That means he was playing for four freaking days straight. And he almost died and his parents didn't check on him once. Or if they did, they let him do it for as long as he did.

That's neglect. I don't care what people say but it is and the news gets worse and worse. There are reports all over the world about "Bad Gamers". Like this Japanese man who beat his 4 year old daughter so much that she had to be in the hospital. Or that PETA keeps going after Pokemon, and more relevantly, Assassins Creed 4: Black Flag. There are so many bad reports that if you could print out all of these reports, tear down the Great Wall of China, and then rebuild the entire thing back up again, you would have enough to tear down Hadrian's Wall and then rebuild it to it's former glory.

It's ridiculous. And do you know what? The most ignorant people try to explain why virtual violence encourages reality violence when there have been decade long studies that say that there is no connection and that they do nothing to aid or harm the problem of modern day violence. And they don't understand that there has always been violence. And there always will be. If people are getting out their anger on something virtual then nobody's getting hurt.

And get this, Glen Beck, one of the Republican party's most advocate speakers and radio hosts, accuses Watch Dogs(A Shooter game) for teaching people to hack. Really?! Are you seriously suggesting that a game that has you press one button on a controller, teaches kids how to hack software? Are you kidding me?! There is NO similarity between real hacking and game hacking.

This the same argument that GTA gets. That promotes stealing and antisocial behaviour and stuff like that. And that game is TAME compared to what movies and songs show. Just listen to the words of movie songs! And just think of the Moral in Aladdin: it says its okay to lie and 300's getting a sequal!

Which actually looks alright but there's nudity on the trailer. and there was nudity in the original. That's not the point though. Video games are under attack for nothing at all. There are "harmless" games as well, like Wii sports and Wii play. Even the Mario games are harmless and PETA's attacked them over the Tanooki suit. A fictional creature. They attack Pokemon as well.

Why pokemon? There's nothing wrong with it. They say that it promotes animal abuse and illegal animal fights. I can see that though. But still. Its a game That's not what PEDA and all of these other stupid people think. I thought I had a vivid imagination but at least I know its not real. But these older people don't think that way. The people born 40-50 years ago don't know anything about video games and they are the ones that are trying to undermine it.

They know it TV's fake. But they don't realize that what's done on a screen, doesn't translate to being doable in real life. Like Trauma Team. I can ace that game all day long. I have no real problems with it. But if you were to ask me to excise a tumor, in real life, do you think I can do that? Nope.

I could have a mild understanding about it, but I'm no surgeon. And I'm decent at Sim City 4 Deluxe but ask me to run a town in real life, well, let's just say it wouldn't be pretty. I might be able to kick anyone's ass in Wii Bowling, but can I win a real championship? I'd have better luck in the Pee Wee league. Its so easy in the games but in real life you'd get your head caved in!

Being good in a game doesn't mean that you're good at the exact same thing as in real life. I play Call of Duty myself. And I have shot guns several times with my first gun being a .22LR Bolt Action Youth Rifle. The second and third were a 30 Yat 6 and a 12 Gauge Shotgun. The last one that I used was Glock. And let me tell you, there is NO comparison between a real gun and the ones in COD. Real ones have recoil. And you don't have to tell me twice. The point is that there are a LOT of crazies out there and they are the ones that do this crap.

But they are a  minority. So the minority are giving everyone a bad wrap and the media are jumping on it. And the masses believe it. Biden even tried to pass a bill for a "Violent Games Tax" that will make ALL games more expensive. But that's not that surprising. There's a toasted goods tax or something and they wanted to make sweets and fizzy pop have a tax.

The point is that games are not the problems. It's the idiots that try to regulate it. The only regulation I'll accept is the ESRB ratings. Because they are universal and everybody gets it. And if parents regulated what games their kids played, there'd be a lot less news about this crap, like anything really. It's all on the parents. Not the kids.

This is the Cuban Commentator saying stay frosty and game on!

Our Big Bullies

This article contains sensitive subjects of bullying and victim blaming and can be offensive to some viewers. We apologize in advance that your "precious" feelings were hurt and if you actually enjoy tormenting others and blaming the person being hurt for being hurt, and that we are sorry that you are so low as to not take responsibility for this treatment.

Yeah! Its degrading and causes trouble for everyone later in life.

You know what happened to me the other day?

What?

Stupid teacher at college. Yes I get that she's pregnant so her hormones are gonna be all over the place, but she has double standards and an attitude that STINKS!

Oi. I hate that. My parents do the same to me all the time.

We're allowed to have discussions right? Well someone will raise a point that she doesn't agree with and it'll go round and round and round, then a few weeks later she'll say what the other guy had been saying!

Oi. I'm sorry girl.

Meh, my course has finished and I'm the kid in the corner that just gets on with the work.

Yea. You know, I heard about something kinda like what you're going through now.

Oh?

Yea, but first, tell me, what is the most common thing to bring to school?

A backpack.

Ah yes, the backpack. Everyone across the world uses one. Even collage kids use them. They help you carry your textbooks, writing supplies, borrowed objects, and your smuggled porn. It's not only functional, but also fashionable. They can act like your own personal sign saying who you are.

And girls shove make-up in and you can tell what Clique or group they're in from the bags they have.

Exactly! It's kind of a gateway to the mind. Some see them as just simple bags. I say that they are intricate and can be really freaking cool! Like my orange one. I've had it for almost five years and it's still holding up. But I guess you're wondering where I'm going with this right?

Yeah a bit, but I've learned that you usually get to the point.

Yea. I'm talking about backpacks so as to link up with the story. And its a real life story too.

Oh?

Yea. In North Carolina there's this nine year old boy that goes to an elementary school. And he goes to school wearing a My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic backpack. But its not just an MLP backpack! Oh no! It's a freaking Rainbow Dash backpack, which makes it 20% cooler.

Ok and the problem is?

He gets bullied by the other kids over it. No doubt calling him "gay" or something like that.

He's only nine? Isn't that the target audience of the show anyway?

Yea but "ponies are for girls" is what our culture says. If it has bright pastel colors, then it's girly.

But don't they also say "pink's for girls and blue's for boys" Rainbow Dash IS blue.

Still a girl though. And a pegasus at that.

Ah yeah I suppose. So what is the school doing about this?

Here's the kicker. They take away the kid's backpack and tell him to never wear it to school ever again because it is a "Trigger" for bullying. And mind you, the kid was being bullied before he even bought the backpack.

So rather than actually deal with the bullies the staff are trying to make the kid conform to "acceptable social standards" and are just sweeping it under the carpet?

Eeyup.

So because of the bullies - who probably have "unique" bags - this kid who felt brave and confident enough to show his love for a show he's probably lost confidence?

If you mean that he being punished enjoying something that is supposed to be outside of his targeted demographic, then yes. He is and it sickens me.

I wonder what would've happened if a girl turned up in a Power Rangers bag or something meant for boys. This is where double standards come into play, because its okay for a girl to like "girl and boy" things but a boy can't like "girly" things.

Right. And do you know what makes up the bulk of the fanbase of MLP:FiM?

Guys?

Not just guys, but grown adults! Many having respectable jobs, steady incomes, and some in the military like the Fiery Joker and the Black Gryph0n.

So grown adults are into MLP? Then why is the kid being punished for it?

Because they don't want to do their jobs correctly. They want to be lazy and gloss over the problem. as if it was nothing. But it is something. It's hurting a little kid more by the adults in his life bullying him as well.

Yeah.

By trying to pacify the situation, they caused more harm than what was already inflicted.

Yeah and the bullies will just carry on because they got away with it.

And they will do it even more now that they now that they won't be stopped.

Damn.

This is selective favoritism. And it's one of the lowest things anyone can do. Especially in an organization.

Everyone's supposed to be equal.

Everyone should be treated equally especially when it comes to reward and punishment.

Yeah definitely.

And if anyone says otherwise, then you're in the same boat as the teachers and the principal that punished that boy for wearing something he liked.

And I bet everyone has felt the same way at one point.

Yea. It's hard being rejected. But it's worse to be attacked.

Yep.

We need to fight back but nonviolently. The Bronies have a saying that they follow, "Love and Tolerate". That's what we are to do. We can either love something, or tolerate it if we love it or hate it. 

Yeah that works for everything.

We can tolerate something and yet still fight against it. By silently, and if necessary, voicing our opinions to others.

Yeah peaceful protests do more than violent ones - Gandhi.

Right. And to those who are being bullied, don't worry, you're not alone in this. We all are under scrutiny and criticism. We can never avoid it, but look for help in those who share your pain. and tell your authorities about the treatment every time it happens.

And keep telling them if nothing happens or if its getting worse.

And don't bully others. It hurts them in ways that you can't see right away.

One last point: people act differently in different situations and with different people.

So try to carefully choose your words before you say them.

Troubles with Sexifying Toddlers

Warning!
This article contains sensitive subjects of child sexulization and can be offensive to some viewers. We apologize in advance that your "precious" feelings were hurt and if you actually enjoy turning your daughter into a sexual object, that we are sorry that you are so low as to do this to your daughter.

Yeah! Its degrading and causes trouble for the girls later in life.

We seem to have a problem these days, don't we?

We have a lot of them but which one are you talking about now?

Toddlers and Tiaras.

That stupid show? With toddler beauty pageants?

Exactly. I find it as the most degrading show ever.

I bet.

Do you have anything like that in the UK?

I can't think off the top of my head of any specific examples but I guess so.

I hate it with a burning passion. It's one of the most degrading things since I heard about bestiality.

It must be bad.

Yea.

What goes through these women's heads?

I have no clue but all I know is that they aren't in their right minds, or any minds at all.

How can they put their babies through that?

I don't know. For those of you who don't know what we are talking about, here's a brief rundown.

And we'll keep it brief.

Toddlers and Tiaras is a show where mothers and their usually single child daughters, dress the daughter up in sexual clothing and put on a pound of make up on her, and enter her into a pageant where they are made into little sex objects.

They start at 3 or so as well.

Yea, and that's what I have issue with. It's not that these girls are bratty because I've been around those types often when I worked in the mall trying to sell products. They are very nose-up and, for lack of a better term, b*tchy. My problem is that these girls are forced to be this way at an early age.

Yeah and they're made to look like dolls which causes SO much to go wrong.

It kinda reminds me of an episode of an anime called "Hell Girl", where a woman is so obsessed with perfection and dolls(puppets), that she tries to make her son's wife into a doll(puppet) by abusing her to the point of her calling Ai, the Hell Girl, to send her to Hell for making her life Hell. The same concept is in the show Toddles and Tiaras. These women are forcing their children to grow up like a Barbie Doll.

And they're all blonde and stuck up?

The vast majority are. And it sickens me. It makes the child think that this is an appropriate culture to live in. It forces the child to look for perfection where perfection can never be achieved.

And teenage girls have enough to go through without brainwashing them at such a young, impressionable age.

 And this is a nation wide problem here in America, believe it or not. Wanna know how I know?

Sure.

It will shock you I think. I was in Walmart once, and they had switched around the isles. So as I was going to the toys section in the back of the store, I passed the young girls' clothing section, particularly, the area for 10 year olds. And I almost ran into this woman so I got out of the way by sliding past on the right shoulder and what caught my eye was a pair of pink panties with words on them. They were kinda feint because they were white and were against hot pink, so I stopped and looked at them closer and the words I read were these...
Who Needs A Credit Card?
Now mind you, that text was on the FRONT of these undergarments. I was, to put it as mildly as I possibly can, flabbergasted. That was the most shocking thing I saw since when I found out that I was a fan of a "girly" show. This article of clothing is encouraging little girls to objectify themselves for men and boys to lust over.

Yeah. There was something in the news about that over here too!

It was shameful. And I looked at the woman, who by that time was looking at me off, and I said, "This is the most disgusting thing in the universe... Ever." She took a look at it and agreed with me. It really is something horrible that these type of ideals are out there, ready to be snatched by anyone in the world, espicially young children.

Yeah, and over here it made the national news about how clothes sexualise young girls. A baby or toddler size belly top with matching 'hooker' shorts, they were that short you could see their underwear! Come on! I know we don't get much sun over here but still!

Right. This type of culture is disgusting and it has far reaching consequences. How? Well, Evaluator, have you ever felt like you had to meet a certain standard to be beautiful(Which I know that you already are gorgeous)?

Yes. I don't look like the girls in adverts - no one does - but we are bombarded with media that says "you're female you have to look like this"

And how did it make you feel?

Honestly? Ugly.

And what did you do to fix it, or did you just leave yourself alone?

I tried make-up but foundation makes my face itch and I was at the age where I knew the girls on adverts were fake so I just didn't bother, if people don't like me for me then they're probably shallow.

But yet they really hurt you, correct?

Yeah.

And the other girls? How'd it effect your friends?

We were lucky, if we had issues it didn't show. On the outside we seemed happy but we probably were putting on an act.

Put it really hurt and you felt like you had to prove yourself right?

Yeah duh. So I just studied more and kept to my non-judgemental friends.

Good. And I imagine that you'll never forget it right?

Nope, because I'm not skinny and have boobs and a butt - natural I might add - I'll always be judged.

And I know that I have been treated that way sometimes.

Society and the media need to see how they affect us.

Oh, they see it. And the like exploiting the hell it.

There's nothing wrong with make up though.

No. Not at all. It's not even wrong for little girls to wear it.

It makes us feel good and more confident.

Right. My sister wears the stuff sometimes and it makes her very proud for being pretty.

Exactly.

But when you force a young girl to live in an environment where she has to be perfectly pretty all the time, it can easily scar her for life.

Yeah, the show is introducing toddlers and young girls into a world that they're too young for.

And it's all over the world too!

I know.

I hate it. And as the world continues to objectify women, the problem only gets worse as more women get implants, botox, and the like. And more women are trying to prevent aging and failing. Like I saw an elderly woman in New Hampshire once and she had GOBS of make up on her face and I couldn't stop staring. Not because she was attractive, but that she looked so UGLY!

Damn!

Exactly what I was thinking. And I was fourteen then.

I see something like that and I think its sad.

Very. And do you know what, it's getting worse.The advent of this show proves it.

Damn, but at least shows like Miss Universe and the like aren't shown on British TV.

But you have fashion magazines right?

Yeah.

Then that adds to the problem.

Yeah but we're more aware that the models are airbrushed and the make-up is done professionally and the like.

But the little girls growing up like divas won't know that.

Yeah stupid parents trying to live out their teenage dreams through their poor innocent kids who try to please their parents without knowing what they're doing.

It's wrong and will cause that child to try and become something that they can't be.

Yeah.

Death Brawl: Serena Fisher VS Blaise Pryde

Hey! This is the Cuban Commentator and this is my first Death Brawl! I hope you guys enjoy this section and stay tuned for the first countdown. Blaise Pryde and Kayle Trassak are owned by HannahJ18. Serena Fisher and Duke David bar Seaon are owned by HannahJ18 and Zeeb_Blade.

Werewolves are known as powerful creatures capable of great feats of strength and carnage. But of all the werewolves that I've run across, these two are the most powerful.

Blaise Pryde, the savoir of the Secret Society; and Serena Fisher, the fearless seadog of and Kabzeel Sea.

I’m the Cuban Commentator and it is my job to analyze their weapons, powers, and abilities to see who would win a fight to the death.

First up is Blaise Pryde, the Alpha of Lupus Pack. This is one tough cookie, and she won’t go down without a fight.

This young girl was born into a pure werewolf family. But there was a catch… She is a shape-shifter. And because of that, she was subjected to inhumane tortures in the basement of her home. This all lasted until she was six years old when her family was found by a group of hunters who killed everyone except her. This event left her with no one to turn to, forcing her to fight for her own survival. She took over the pack that her father left behind at the age of sixteen. And right from the start, the Pack Consul has done their worst to undermine her status by not only having another pack to take them out, but also an army of hunters, vampires, and demons that ended up causing a full blown war. She rose to the occasion and ended up winning the war sending the survivors running for the hills.

Her weapons are primarily her teeth and claws. She usually fights toe to toe with her opponent as a wolf to get the upper hand (or paw as it were). As a human, she doesn't have much, but her mind is her most powerful weapon in her arsenal. Now I’m not talking about her intellect, I’m talking about telepathy. That’s right, she is a telepath. And she can use her mind to do some pretty nasty stuff. Aside from being able to communicate mentally, she can control others, inflict psychological pain, read thoughts and past events, and implant mental images into someone else. I don’t know about you, but that’s scary.

Her fighting style is very defensive and evasive looking for the perfect time to strike. And when she does, it is a hard blow that usually ends with a serious injury or death. She usually relies on her werewolf side in combat than her human side. But when she does fight as a human, she has a kick that can send anyone flying.

But she has flaws. Her torment in the basement made it to where she is terrified of dark areas and chains. Her torment also resulted in frequent nightmare and flashbacks that can render her ineffective whatsoever.

“She looks like Heaven, but fights like Hell.”- Vlad Volka

Serena Fisher hails from the Regal Republic of Nautica and is a terror to anyone who has gold and jewels.

Serena was raised by the infamous Captain Robert Fisher. Instead of being raised on the sea, however, she grew up in the unforgiving slums of Nautica, the nation’s capital. It was there where she learned how to fight for herself and to perfect pick pocketing. At twelve she joined her father on the sea. From there she gained a reputation as a cunning fighter using her Silver Saber to her advantage. Then at fourteen, her father died from a fatal illness, leaving her to captain the ship on her own at the worst time period. Duke David bar Seaon conducted several trade agreements with several other nations which enhanced the monetary value of Nautica. But that, in turn, forged the most powerful military forces in the known world; the Civil Defense Army and the Imperial Nautican Navy, with its flagship being the NNS Deliverance. On several occasions she has encountered the Navy with few of their fights ending in her capture. She eventually reunites with Duke David and become lovers.

She wields the Silver Saber; a 30 in (7.62 cm) sword used to run through people like nothing. And with her skill with the blade, you never want to mess with her. She also uses two single action flintlocks that are a hundred years old, passed down from ancestor to ancestor. They are inaccurate as a Stormtrooper’s aim which is why she hardly uses them. But in a pinch she relies on the bag of water on her hip. Why? Because she is a water bender, not, however, a master. She only knows three advanced moves that rarely work according the plan. She does, on the other hand, know several defensive and offensive moves including turning liquid water into ice.

But with every person, she has fears of her own. At the age of ten she was climbing up a tree and accidentally turned into a wolf, leaving her stuck for several hours until she was able to shift back into a human and call for her father to save her. Her time in jail also brings back horrible memories. The most scarring of which is when during her trial, David stood up for her and ended up taking on the same death sentence that she was going to receive. They were able to escape, however I am not allowed, at this time, to tell how they were able to escape. She has experience with death several times and has died several times, but each time was revived by Duke David.

“I just want to be with you. Like old times.” –Duke David Bar Seaon

With that being said, let’s see which one would win a Death Brawl! The setting for this fight is on the Flying Wolf where Serena Fisher stole Blaise’s necklace.

After much deliberation, the winner is…



“Stupid mutt, I grew up fighting.”-





Serena Fisher!

She simply has a wider array of weapons and tools that help her in both forms. Not only that but since Blaise’s flashbacks can happen without warning, the most critical moment of a battle would end with her defeat. All in all, it would be an interesting fight to see in real life. Who am I kidding? It would be FUCKING AWESOME!

This is the Cuban Commentator saying to stay tuned for the next section and if you have an idea for a new Death Brawl, please comment below.

The Cuban Commentator's Top Ten Most Hated Video Game Characters

Reviewed by David Gonzalez (Gamer's perspective) and Hannah Jennings (Non-gamer's perspective)

DAMN YOU! I HATE YOU!

 Me?! What did I do?!

Not you! The person in this freaking game!

What happened? You jump off a cliff?

No! I just wish this guy would!

Why?

Because I HATE HIM! He's such a jacka** that if he were real I'd strangle the crap out of him and force him to eat it so I can squeeze it out of him again!

Okay calm down. Who are you even talking about?

You don't know him... You know what? Why don't I tell you who I hate in these games?

As long as you don't shout at me for not knowing who you're talking about, I'm no gamer.

...FINE! But there's gonna be some rules.

No shouting or swearing.

Besides that. Only one character per franchise. Only games that I've played. And They have to be sentient beings, so no monsters from Monster Hunter Tri.

Well considering the only game I really play is GTA5 you've got the better bet.

And one last thing, this is my opinion so NO hate comments! We WILL delete them!

Yeah! You can disagree but you HAVE to say why. You CAN'T just say you're wrong. It's cruel and mean and just not needed!

So NO name-calling and bashing!

 Got that? Good! Let's begin.

10: Black Doom

Who?

The main villain in the game, "Shadow the Hedgehog".

I know Shadow!

Yea. Black Doom is pretty much Shadow's blood father. Long story short, Black Doom helped Dr. Eggman's grandfather create Shadow in return for him to give Doom the Chaos Emeralds so he can invade Earth.

Why do they always want to invade?

No clue. I hate him because he's SO one note! His boss fight is long and annoying and his motive is SO cliche!

Cliche how?

His motive is to take over and enslave humans for energy and servants. If that's not cliche, I don't know what is.

Yep.

And plus he's just so boring! And the fact that the game made me groan didn't help either.

Groan?

Yea, let's just say it was very boring and confusing.

So you gave up?

Na, I beat it. But that's not the point. The point is that he's a horrible character that could easily be avoided.

 Point taken.

9. Vayne Carudas Solidor

Who and does his name have any bases to his personality? Is he vain like his name?

Oh yea. This guy is the main villain of Final Fantasy XII(The only Final Fantasy I've played) and he is despicable!

So he's all about him?

Yep. You see, This guy is the crowned prince of the Archadian Empire and he was responsible for a HUGE war that is kinda the main point of the game.

And let me guess he doesn't care? Kinda like Jackson from SS?

Yea, but he's worse.

Worse than Jackson? Oh that's not good.

No. It wasn't. He was able to conquer the Kingdom of Ivalice and utterly destroy the Kingdom of Dalmasca... with their equivalent of the Tsar Bomba(The most powerful nuke in existence).

Sh*t! Please tell me he's paranoid!

Actually, no. He's always calm and collected. And get this, he killed not one, not two, not even four, royals. He killed FIVE ROYALS! INCLUDING HIS OWN FATHER! That's right! He killed his own father for the throne!

Ok, he is evil. Why don't you like him? He seems like a perfect villain (if there was such a thing).

You could say he was. You know why?

Why?

Because he has a freaking GOD helping him!

A god! like big powerful Zeus type god or an angry brash Thor type god - yes I know, I had to bring Thor into this.

More like a quiet Satin. But do you know what Vayne has done? I'll tell you. He killed off an entire empire, killed the king of a sovereign nation, had one of the main character's brother betray the other, had a main character's father create a super-weapon, endangered millions of lives during the final battle, and fused himself with the god to become even more powerful to kill EVERYONE!

OK I still don't get why he's on the list?

He has no freaking heart! He even tried to kill his younger brother because he(the younger brother) wanted to settle the people of Ivalice diplomatically instead of killing off the Resistance. He doesn't care that he kills.

Yeah I guess that makes him evil.

8. Orboro

You know what's coming. Who and what's his story?

Orboro is one of the main villains of the game Custom Robo(Or as it's known in Japan, Custom Robo Battle Revolution), a game where you fight with nano sized robots in a tiny arena.

That doesn't sound too fun, but who am I to judge?

Anyways, in the game there is a living virus called Rahu that is extremely powerful. So powerful, in fact, that years before the events of the game, it utterly destroyed the world leaving it empty and lifeless. Humanity was forced to live in domed cities to protect themselves.

Ok.

Now, Orboro's plan is to take over the world by controlling Rahu. But his plan backfires when the man he thought was his second in command, betrayed him.

I guess that would cause some problems.

Yea, and plus Rahu got away during the fight because Orboro tried to use Rahu in battle, and once he got his a** handed over to him on a silver platter, Rahu took his chance and fled.

So he's a coward too?

Oh yea. And he killed your character's father and took over the "Z Synicate",and twisted the organization from informing the people about the outside world to trying to take it over with Rahu.

Oh so he is a real piece of work?

Yea and I hate him because how arrogant he is, saying that he's going to forage a new world order. What a load of sh*t.

It could happen though, just not the way he makes them think.

Yea.

7. General Scales

A snake guy?

More like a dinosaur. General Scales is one of the villains of Star Fox Adventures and he's pretty much a d*ck.

How?

Well, General Scales is the leader of the Sharpclaw Tribe and he commanded his army of raptor like dinos to invade the Force Point Temples and removed the Spirit Stones causing the planet to break apart. He then invaded a holy site and scared off the Krazoa Spirits(Entities that help channel the magical energy of the planet.

Ok. So he's a dictator type bad guy?

Yea, he even kidnaps a queen's babies and torments them just to get his rocks off.

Oh lord he's mean!

Very. And once he is defeated, his own soldiers beat and kill him because he's down.

There are tribes that did that to people.

And they celebrated as well.

Gosh, he really must have been bad.

Very. He kidnapped the Earthwalker's prince and let his soldiers beat on him. He enslaved three tribes and created a monster to only maim and kill.

A monster?

Yea. and the boss battle with it was boring.

Boring?

Yea, all I did was spam the fire button.

That is boring.

Yep. And the fight against Scales was so easy. Know why?

Why?

I didn't have to fight him. He was beat by someone else by surrendering to a guy HE COULDN"T SEE. The invisible per son talked to him and Scales gave up!

Coward!

6. Marquis de Maltiban

Who?

The villain in Sid Meirs' Prirates.

Ok, why's he on the list?

It all started 10 years ago when your family was having a party. Then the Marqius busted into your home and said that your family's fleet had been lost and the morgage had become due.

Ok.

And guess what he does.

Kicks you out?

Kidnaps your family and hides them away.

Meanie!

You know why I hate him?

Aside from him being a kidnapper?

He's so freaking annoying to find! You have to sail around the Carbbean for years looking for his minions only to go doing it all over again until you finally fight him at his base deep in Indian territory.

God that would be hard.

Not really. He's a pushover. and what happens after you beat him? No cutscene showing his death! Instead you have him as your f*cking cabinboy!

You have him as a cabinboy?!

Yea! That's it!

Is the character stupid?

You're a pirate, what do you think?

Point taken but Rena's a pirate and she's smart.

5. Pachacamac

Who? Sounds mexican.

Close. He's a minor character in the game "Sonic Adventure". He was the the father of Tikal the Echidna and the chief of the Echidna Tribe that actually closely resembles the Aztec culture.

Echidna? Isn't that Knuckles' last name and the name of some austrailian animal?

Yes, as a matter of fact, Knuckles is a direct descendant of Tikal herself.

Oh!

Now in the game Sonic Adventure we don't get much detail about him, only little snippets of the past in the game.

Ah so why's the villain with the funny name on the list?

Well, he's not a villain and he's not a hero either. You know how there are the Seven Chaos Emeralds?

Yeah.

Well, during this time, the Echidna tribe was at war with another tribe and apperently they were struggling to end it with a decisive blow. So he goes to the Angel Island Shrine(Which at that time was still grounded) and tried to steal the Chaos Emeralds. Now Tikal didn't want her father to do so because it would anger the God of Destruction, Chaos. And you know that there are these cute little creatures called Chao?

Yeah.

Well, when Tikal stood in her father's way to protect the shrine, he ordered his men to run her and the Chao over to get the Emeralds. That awakened Chaos and he went on a rampage that destroyed the known world.

Not good.

Exactly, so Tikal sacrificed herself to the Master Emerald and imprisoned Chaos and herself in the Emerald to quell Chaos.

Brave.

Yes, but if it wasn't for her father's selfishness and greed, none of this would have happened.

Yeah.

4. Mario

Isn't Mario the good guy?

You would think so wouldn't you? But if you look closely, you'll find a pattern.

Is this the communist thing again?

No. It's something different. What is Mario's favorite way of killing an enemy?

Jumping on them? Shooting them with something (fireball, iceball).

Yes. Mario jumps and crushes the enemy. and what happens when he does?

Coins?

No. He whoops. Don't you think that's a little wrong? He ended the life of a creature simply because they're in his way.

Yeah that is. Never thought of that.

And he celebrates it. Freaking celebrates it! Don't you think that's horrible? And he doesn't just do it because he's killing enemies, he even does it when he attacks innocent creatures like Cheep Cheeps and the Wigglers.

Yeah!

And what about his brother Luigi? How many times does Mario leave him out of his adventures?

A whole lot.

Yeah! And how does Mario treat his brother?

Badly.

And what about how many times he lets Peach get captured?

Pretty much all the time.

Exactly. And how many times does he drop Yoshi into a pit to get some extra air on his jump?

That annoys me!

Yea! And think about how about how many women he's involved with?

A lot?

Yea. and do you know HOW many times he's invaded people's homes?

Nope.

Exactly. It just shows how many times he did it.

Or it shows how little I play.

3. Demyx

Some kind of god?

He wishes. He's the biggest wimp in Organization XII in the game Kingdom Hearts II.

Oh.

He uses water to attack and in his boss battle in the middle of the game. And he has the most annoying and frustrating one hit KO attack in the series!

That would be annoying.

Yea! And he is such a wimp! I hate him mainly for being the most powerful boss in the series and yet the most pathetic boss in the series!

That's a contradiction.

But he is! I HATE him for that!

2. Sandra Lieberman

Ooh a female villain?

Yea. The last two are female.

Cool!

Sandra Lieberman appears in the game Trauma Team.

Your current favourite.

Yep. Anyways, You play as Naomi Kimishima investigating the third of several bombings committed by the Raging Bomber.

Who is?

A person who has killed a politician and a entertainer before this case. Now she had killed a tennis player named Aidan Posner.

Cool name.

And they would call the police and give them a hint on who is going to die next.

That's horrible!

A call then came in and the Revolutionary(The person making the calls) says that the next victim would be white. Next thing you know, a collage student was killed by a bomb exploding in his face.

That is horrible!

Yea. Come to find out that he WAS the Revolutionary!

He shot himself!?

No. He was killed by a bomb!

That's what I meant.

But he wasn't the Raging Bomber!

So he was told to do it?

He was told to make the calls but not the bombings. Then the Raging Bomber targets Naomi Kimishima. The Bomber almost succeeds but Alyssa Breslin(Her friend that is a little girl and is her neighbor) takes the bomb that was in a teddy bear and took it home. The bomb killed her family but somehow she miraculously lived.

Huh.

You are then able to find the Raging Bomber named Sandra Lieberman. You find her home but she traps you in her house with FIVE bombs that you have to disarm. And then you have to find her and arrest her before she bombs the First Lady.

Oh not good at all.

Yeah, once you find her she has taken a flight attendant hostage and ranting that "Rosaila will kill [them] all". She then suddenly bleeds from her ears, nose, eyes, and mouth. She then dies, dropping a detonator that kills her, the attendant, and two cops trying to nab her.

 All that for nothing.

I hate her because she has no soul and doesn't care who she kills just so long as she does.

1. Dahlia Hawthorne

Who?

This young girl is featured in "Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations" and is the main villainess in the game.

Is she the one you told me about? The red head that tries to kill him?

Hey! I'm supposed to spoil it!

 I'm allowed to know at least one villain.

Yea, but this is MY countdown! Remember?

Sorry continue.

THANK you! Oi... Anyways, she is the main villain of  T&T and trust me, she is pure EVIL!

I don't know many game villains so let me have my smartie pants moment. How?

I'm glad you asked. Dahlia Hawthorne is the daughter of a jeweler whose name is unknown. She had a twin sister named Iris too. Now remember Iris, she becomes important.

Ok Iris and Dahlia. If it makes you feel better I only know about Dahlia because YOU told me!

Shut up! My God! Oi! Anyways, when their mother, Morgan Fey, was unable to become the head of the Kurain Channeling Technique because her younger sister, Misty Fey, was more powerful than her, the father left Morgan and took Dahlia and Iris with him. He then remarried a woman who had a daughter already named Valerie Hawthorne.

Ok.

She was a devious child and saw her sister Iris as a nuisance. So she convinced her father to give her up to Hazakura Temple where she was cared for by Sister Bikini.

Hehe Bikini.

Yea. I think every boy who played this game snickered like an idiot thinking that. Anyways, when Dahlia turned 14, she pretended to fall in love with her tutor, Terry Fawles. She then used him and her sister Valerie to steal her father's most expensive gem and made her escape at Dusky Bridge outside the Hazakura Temple into Eagle River, making her escape and letting Terry get convicted for her "murder".

That's clever, if not slightly vindictive.

Then five years later Terry broke out of jail and attempted to meet Valerie at Dusky Bridge to talk to her about both of them fessing up about what they were really doing then. Afraid that it would ruin her, Dahlia killed Valerie and when Terry pulled up in a stolen car, she placed Valerie's body in the trunk, framing Terry. Later in court she posed as a  "Melissa Foster" and tried to get Terry a guilty verdict. But the defense attorney, Mia Fey, almost got her convicted. Terry Fawles refused to  cooperate and instead poisoning himself and dying on the stand. Dahlia then left the courtroom, as Mia recounts, with a "demonic smile on her face".

Evil and twisted!

It gets worse. Six months later Mia Fey called on a friend named Diego Armando, to come to the courthouse to find out more about Dahlia. Dahlia then stole poison from Doug Swallow, an Ivy University student and her boyfriend then, and slipped it into Deigo's coffee to kill him by keeping it in a little bottle attached to a necklace. She then found Phoenix Wright, who was also studying at Ivy University, in the library and pretends to fall in love with him and gives him the bottle as a "gift". Diego didn't die, he only went into a coma that took years to recover from.

Jeesh! She hates men!

She then had her sister Iris take her place in school and try to get the bottle from Phoenix because the cops were onto her. After six months Dahlia didn't get her bottle back,she suspected that Iris fell in love with Phoenix. So without telling her sister she went back and tried to murder Phoenix by using the same poison that was used to kill Diego  by putting it into his cold medicine. But before giving Phoenix the pills, she found her now former boyfriend Doug Swallow trying to warn Phoenix about Dahlia. He was so furious that he shoved Doug against the high voltage electric pole and snapped the cable. Dahlia then saw her chance and killed Doug and placed the bottle of pills in his hand to frame Phoenix.

Oh!

Mia however was able to convict Dahlia and got her sent to prison and was eventually hanged but swore revenge on Mia. So five years later she met with her mother Morgan Fey(who was convicted for murder in the last game). Morgan told her about her plan to lure Pearl Fey and Maya Fey to Hazakura Temple; there, Pearl would channel Dahlia, who would kill Maya, so that Pearl would become the master of the Fey family.

Ok.

Diego caught wind and was able to contact Misty Fey and tried to stop the plan. It worked... somewhat and Misty Fey was killed during the incident. Dahlia then took control of Maya Fey and disguised her as Iris and trapped the real Iris in the Training Room Tunnels. She then tried to convict Maya for the murder.

This woman is evil and a b*tch with a capital B!

I know! Maya survived the ordeal and Dahlia was never channeled again. I think you can see why I hate Dahlia the most.

Yeah!
