THE GAME
DOUBLE DRAGON: NEON BY: SHAMAR ROUNDTREE
I love the 80’s just like a lot of 80’s babies do, and something’s
from the 80 can still be awesome today…too bad Double Dragon: Neon is not one of those things. If you haven’t guessed yet, this is an HD remake of the Double Dragon arcade from the 80’s. Let’s go with the good of this game first. Nostalgia, this game bleeds it and its fun…for a while. Next is the music which has only got better with the remake. Too bad that is about it for the good of the game. Nostalgia is one thing; but being stuck in the past is a bad thing. Double Dragon: Neon is the embodiment of what’s wrong with HD remakes. It’s afraid to let go of the ‘80s altar it worships at, even if it means cramming a crummy, archaic experience down players’ throats. Rather than remind players what they loved about the series, Neon reminds them why the arcade is dead. Archaic as in it is hard for no real reason in
g-vegasmagazine | 5 g-vegasmagazine | 5
the arcade it needs to be hard to get money from players. That does not work for home consoles. Lack of save points don’t help ether, you die you have to start the whole game over, that does not fly these days. Online would be help a lot…too bad it’s not there. Co-op is ok, but the mini-game you have to play to help your partner when he is down is time consuming and is hard to pull off in the middle of a fight. Most of all the game is just so SLOW, from the punching to kicking, even the running is sluggish. All of this put together just make DDN boring. And I really wanted to like this game, but I can’t tell you to get it. Systems: PS3, 360 Price: 10$ Rating: 4/10

THE LIFE
HAPPY RUNNING!
BY: KRYSTAL CLEGG
Even though summer is fading fast don’t lose that summer shape you worked so hard for! Remember to keep fit during the fall months so when next bathing suit season comes around you will have nothing to worry about. The weather is cooling off making it the perfect time to exercise outside. Take advantage of the warm days and cool nights with a jog on the greenway or a run through River Park North! Professional athletes put immense time and thought into their footwear and apparel and you shouldn’t be any different. We all run differently and our bodies move differently. Make sure when exercising you have the right shoe for your foot. An ill-fitting shoe can actually do more harm than good by possibly overextending muscles and putting strain in the wrong areas. The top of the running shoe food chain right now is without question – Mizuno Running. Mizuno is a Japanese based company who has 1 main pillar when building shoes: detail. Mizuno approaches shoe making with the concept that they want your shoe to be the last thing on your mind during a run. They want the shoe to fit so naturally with your stride that you can’t even feel it. Take the energy you would have spent worrying about your footwear and place it into concentrating on getting up that last hill or running that extra mile that you didn’t think you had in you. Their attention to detail brings to life this goal. The shoe that has amped up their street credit is the wave prophecy; the entire sole is a plate that mirrors a wave. When a foot strikes the ground it takes the energy from the impact point and spreads it throughout the
g-vegasmagazine | 7 g-vegasmagazine | 7
shoe just like a wave. With the dispersion of energy it allows you to do more with one stride (use the same amount of energy to go farther). The curve of the plate also helps keep your momentum moving forward. This shoe is perfect for heel strikers. I myself am a terrible heal striker (when I run I land on my heel as opposed to my toes) and it helps move the energy to the entire foot instead of losing it within the heel. For those who need more of a stability shoe look to the Wave Enigma or Wave Precision. It has a stability plate throughout the midsole and heel that will give you stability without the bulk. No worries though, these are not running shoes of old. Mizuno started incorporating day glow long before Ke$ha even figured out how to use a black light. Their bright and invigorating colors instantly make any workout session more fun. To go along with your kicks you need some equally as awesome threads to match. In this category I still think Under Armour reigns supreme. Under Armour thinks about the athlete and how it can use the athlete’s body as a total training center by using the muscles and mass you already have. Their performance materials wick moisture by dispersing the sweat to help the garment dry faster. Many of their fabrics have an antimicrobial treatment which means one thing – you smell better! UA offers its technology in every garment and can prepare you for an early morning chilly run down to a day on the golf course in 100 degree heat. They take your bodies’ natural functions and put them to work! Get settled into a workout routine now before the Christmas cookies roll out and the Pumpkin Spice Lattes start taking their toll! Now is the perfect time to get out and enjoy the city we live in through a walk with the dog or a jog through campus. Happy Running!

THE THESOUND LIFE
A FALL STORY BY BAREFOOT WADE Well summer is officially behind us and fall is upon us. And as sad as I am to see summer go, I’ll admit that Greenville is not a bad place to be in the fall. After all we have the Pirates football season, Halloween, house parties and bar hopping to keep us occupied over the next couple months. Being that I’ve been gone for most of the summer, I’m enjoying the simple things around here like riding my bike on the greenway by Tar River, playing in the local bars, and hanging out at the Starbucks on the corner of 10th and Evans Street. However this fall is slightly different from last year, for this fall we have a presidential election. This of course means that we have to sit thru an endless amount of commercials, heated discussions and all sorts of political B.S. As if that wasn’t bad enough, most of us feel the need to parade our political preferences to no end on Facebook. Now I can see the rationality behind maybe posting one or two political statements or pictures on your Facebook page during the course of a year. But unfortunately the mass majority doesn’t stop there. We have to be constantly bombarded by post after post about why there particular candidate is “The only right one” and how we are stupid and possibly un-American we are if we dare vote for their opposing candidate. Now it doesn’t matter which side of the fence these people fall
g-vegasmagazine | 9
on. Somehow we have collectively gained the notion that everyone that doesn’t think the same way as we do is wrong and we feel compelled and that it is our civic duty to convince them that they all need to think exactly the same way that we do. And if they refuse to all think the same way, than they are obviously an idiot. In my opinion, this mentality has got to be one of the most ignorant and un-American ways of dealing with this amazing right we have to vote. As a country, we have fought too hard and sacrificed too much for the idea of liberty and freewill. You are free to choose what religion (if any) that you wish to follow. You won’t get sent to prison if you have more than one kid (like in china). You can protest just about anything you like (usually) as long as you follow certain guidelines. And you are granted the right to vote for whoever you like. This time of year people tend to forget this. I mean think about it...why would you possibly think that it’s your job to convince your fellow Americans what to think? Kind of defeats the entire purpose of democracy and freedom doesn’t it. Why would you judge someone for not voting and thinking
the same way that you do? Ladies and Gentlemen, it would be a very boring existence if everybody looked, talked, dressed and thought the same way. It’s these differences that make life interesting. So in short, all you are really doing when you endlessly push your political party and your candidate is telling the entire world that you are a narrow minded douche bag that doesn’t deserve to live in a country where freewill exist. And like I said before, that goes for both sides of the fence. Notice I did not at any time express who I’m voting for in this article. And though I feel solid in my opinions, I would never want anyone to change their vote based on anything I said. If what I feel is truly right then it doesn’t need any advertisement. To end this rant I would like to completely jump subjects and take a moment to remind you that I’m playing at Pirates Den every Wednesday. And I’ll be playing with my full band at LIVE bar on Oct 27. So come on out….unless of course you are opposed to having fun.
THE GAME
SUPERBOWL PREDICTION: WHO WINS IT ALL BY: PATRICK O’BRIEN
Well it is the start of the NFL season and wow, has it been an up-anddown roller coaster of a year so far. Teams that we thought were going to have a decent year are struggling and we have had some surprises so far with teams being able to pull out some hard victories. But it’s the NFL, you never know who will be the wild card for the year; just take a look at the Giants every year. With that being said, I have seen many of the teams this year play and I am able to weed out the playoff looking teams compared to the teams that will be drafting early in 2013. Here will be the top teams of 2012, along with my Super bowl prediction. • Falcons: With their high-octane offense coming into play, Matt Ryan should have a great year, far better that his past years with the Falcons. With Julio Jones coming into play, along with Roddy White and Gonzalez, their air attack should be one of the tops in the NFL. With Turner getting older and getting fewer touches than past years, they will need Rodgers to step up in the backfield. The defense has always been a decent one but will need to get more of a pass rush than past years. • San Francisco: What can I say about them, their defense is dominating teams right now and this team will go as far as the Alex Smith will go (which is actually looking pretty good right now) and their WR’s will take them. Frank Gore has to keep up his play along with the other RB’s in the rotation. • Houston: Their defense hasn’t missed a beat, even without the recent departures of key players on that side of the ball. Houston is kind of like San Fran.; Matt Schuab will have to be the one to take them all the way because their backfield of Foster and Tate can’t do it all. • NY Giants: I have a good feeling about Eli this year and I think with those weapons, their offense will be top notch. If they can stay healthy and have depth, along with the emergence of their defense, this team could be there at the end of the year. • Baltimore: For some reason, it looks like their defense has new life and not looking like the old Ravens. If their defense can do what they are known to do and Flacco step up his game with his passing, there are no limits for this teams and could be raising the trophy at the end.
g-vegasmagazine | 11
• Other teams that will be in the mix will be Eagles, Patriots, Green Bay, San Diego, and I have a feeling about Chicago. With that being said, these teams should make a great playoff season with a lot of excitement. Who knows, there could be a team that is 9-7 that goes all the way or will a team pull away from the others to take home the trophy. I’ve looked hard throughout all the teams and the teams that I see making it to the Super bowl will be………… San Francisco vs. Baltimore, with the 49ers winning it all this year. Enjoy the season!

THE LIFE
WHAT’S ON YOUR MIND? BY:RAYMOND SHAW
School has begun, students are settled in, local businesses are thriving and the daily traffic is a clear indicator of how everyone is affected in some way by the growing number of college students enrolled each year in ECU. The East Carolinian reported that last fall there were 27,783 enrolled students; and I would imagine the number has increased this year. With the increase in students there is also an increase in prescription drug abuse; and not just at ECU, but at campuses all across the nation. It has been documented by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration that prescription drugs are now the second most abused category of drugs, after marijuana. The White House proclaims prescription drug abuse is the nation’s fastest growing drug problem. There are many who would argue this is a problem that is prevalent in our society or plagues our campuses simply because there isn’t a negative stigma associated with prescription drugs, such as the one placed on illicit or illegal drugs. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention validates this by reporting that
antidepressants, opiates, and other prescription drugs are responsible for more deaths than heroin, cocaine and amphetamines. It is no secret abusing anything, or not exhibiting some form of moderation, can ultimately lead to death. However, many students attempt to justify or rationalize their actions by believing that because certain drugs are regulated by the FDA or prescribed by a physician, that they are acceptable to use. Students have been known to use drugs such as Adderall and Ritalin around exam time; or after they were downtown getting their boogie on late at night, knowing an assignment was due in the morning. We live in a microwave society and people tend to want results fast by utilizing 5hour energy drinks, coffee, yellow jackets, Red Bull and other things to substitute proper planning or lack of sleep. These are all stimulants; and people, not just students, have become dependent upon them. You only get out of life what you are willing to put into it; so remember the five “P’s”: proper planning prevents poor performance. Halloween is rapidly approaching. We all

know how G-Vegas gets down on this night, even if Playboy Magazine didn’t rank E.C.U. the No.5 party school in the nation. On this particular evening the streets are flooded with people seeking a great time; and I must say, things can get a little interesting. And while Greenville’s finest are all over the area to regulate any problems that may arise, I want to end this by offering you a few tips: • Don’t walk alone, on campus or off campus • Be aware of others dressed in police costumes • If hosting a party, be aware of whom you allow entry • Ladies, although your provocative costume may look great on you, please be safe and aware of your surroundings at all times, because it can cause unwanted attention • Limit your alcohol consumption Cognitive Behavioral Therapy indicates your thoughts will dictate your actions. Do your thing, but be safe, be aware. There are no excuses not to.

THE GAME
G-VEGAS SOCCER TEAM ON A WINNING STREAK BY:STEFAN HAUS
In case you missed it, G-Vegas has its very own soccer team. Led by David Jury and Stefan Haus, the G-Vegas team just started its season with two wins in a row. The team successfully won the Kick-for-Africa soccer event on Saturday, September 22nd. The event was hosted by ECU’s African Student Organization (ASO), and all proceeds will be used to purchase school supplies for children in various African nations. G-VEGAS also won its opening game in the PGSA league, the local soccer association, against the Eagles 2 to 1. The team hopes to continue its charitable endeavors while competing in the official PGSA league here in Greenville. Consisting of players from Ecuador, Germany, England, Syria, El Salvador, Mexico, and the U.S., the team has a true international character and a lot of potential. According to Stefan Haus, the G-Vegas soccer team has “a real chance of being very successful in PGSA; however, the challenge is forming a cohesive team out of a loose coalition of international
g-vegasmagazine | 25
players, even if the potential is there.” David Jury said “It felt really good to bring the team together for a good cause. Helping people out while having a good time is always good. Winning the game is even better.” PGSA games take place on Sunday afternoons at the PGSA soccer complex. Come out and support the G-Vegas team. Directions to the field can be found at www.pgsasoccer.com/ fields.asp and schedules as well as current tables can be viewed at www.pgsasoccer.com/adult.asp.
