Twilight Princess Is Epic

The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess is seriously one of the best games I've ever had the privilege of playing. Everything about it is just spectacular, from the graphics, to the story, to the gameplay, this game is almost perfect. The game is extremely addicting. I found myself playing it for hours at a time. It's fun and engaging, exactly what a game should be. The story may be the darkest ever in a Zelda game, although that may be a stretch considering this is my first Zelda game. The graphics are not updated in the Wii version, but I never found myself caring, as they were just so beautiful and varied. Maybe it was because I was playing it on a big screen TV. Anyway, the gameplay is probably the best thing about the game. You gain new equipment and abilities and use them to get to previously unreachable places, like in Metroid. However, while it may seem boring, it's a whole lot of fun and addicting gameplay. Finally, the music, while not orchestrated, is still epic, mysterious, spooky, and sometimes sad. Great soundtrack. In conclusion, Twilight Princess is one of the best games for the Wii and possibly one of the best games ever. My final score for this masterpiece is a 9.6 out of 10. Go play it!

How I Came To Youtube

In 2006, I was on a site called Screwattack.com. I was looking in their video game vault, a collection of games they review. I clicked on one I wanted to see (Star Fox SNES) and was brought to Youtube to watch the video. I became intrigued at this new site I had never seen before and decided to watch videos on it. I learned about Youtube in that time and it sounded awesome. However, I didn't want an account because I didn't want my parents to see it. It was that year that I happened upon the first Mario machinimators, ShadowMario64 and Megaman765. I watched both their bloopers and laughed hard. For a long time, I saw no Mario machinima except for those two, but in 2007, I discovered MATTHEWGU4 and Yeeksta. Their machinimas stunned me with their greatness. I had never seen something like them ever before. Later that year, I decided the time had come for me to get an account. So, on December 9, 2007, I made my acccount. I decided to put the word "corruption" in the username and put "hyper" in there to make the "corruption" stronger. And thus, HyperCorruption was born. I immediately wanted to comment on vids, but I couldn't because my email wasn't valid. It took me 2 months to get a valid Verizon email. Finally, in February 2008, I began to comment and make my name. Through MATTHEWGU4, I discovered two other excellent Mario machinimists, ACDCGAMER and MaxOfS2D. In time, I subscribed to people, gained subscribers myself, got friends, gained respect, and got to be in many series, such as Shadow Redemption. Finally, in June 2008, I started making videos, and in November 2008, I got my Windows compy. And that's how I got to where I am today. I hope to stay on Youtube for as long as I possibly can. 2 years, here I come!
