Plants vs. Zombies

Although I'm not so into this game as I used to be, I still think it's a very cool game. Plants vs. Zombies is an extremely popular game that touches the lives of several people. I always liked the zen garden the most of all. PvZ is the kind of game where you go level to level, unlocking new abilities and items along the way. If you're a PvZ fan, you probably know that PvZ 2 exists too, and that the phrase ''it's about time'' is often asociated (forgive me if that is misspelled) with PvZ 2. Thanks for reading! For more information on Plants vs. Zombies, click here. For more information on Plants vs. Zombies 2, click here. Although not mentioned in the post, there is also a Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare, for information PvZ GW, click here. To read today's VGWxtra, click here. Sorry guys, there is no question of the day. Yesterday's answer: $1500

Google Glass

These glasses... are the most incredible piece of technology I have ever seen in my entire life! I mean, this is like something you would see in a movie. It displays info on the lens, and it looks like normal glasses. I don't know what kind of information it displays, but I do know that this is a huge advancement in technology! I expect BIG things from Google in the future! Thanks for reading this post! To see today's edition of VGWxtra, click here, or scan the QR code. For more information, click here. (Sorry that I forgot to put yesterday's question of day, so here it is)

Google

(There is going to be a bit of a change of plans, Yesterday, I said the first week there would be only one question of the day. I've changed my mind, the question of the day will still be daily the first week, and the question of the day and VGWxtra will be available forever. Thanks!)

Today's post will be about the history of Google. I guess I should start off by telling who the founders of Google were. Google was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin. They were two college students at Stanford University in California. Google started out as a research project, Page and Brin called it Backrub. Not long after it was renamed Google, a misspelling of the word googol, or the number one followed by one hundred zeros. Back then, Google was hosted on google.stanford.edu. Later, it got it's own domain name. Eventually, Page and Brin founded Google Inc in a friend's garage. For more information about how Google was founded, click here.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds

A Link Between Worlds is the Zelda game (not for long). It is the first nonremake Zelda game for the 3DS. I don't have it, but my bro does, so this review is based on his point of view the game (he has beaten it 3 times, now he's on his 4th time) Enjoy! It's a really good game, the most freestyle Zelda game, you can do all the dungeons in any order you like, except the first dungeon, the Eastern Palace. I recommend doing the Lorule dungeons in this order: Thieve's hideout (thieve's town), Desert palace (Hyrule), Swamp palace, Dark Palace, Skull Woods, Ice ruins, then Turtle rock. I think it's amazing, so I highly recommend you go check it out. For more info, click here, or scan the QR code.

Jetpack Joyride

Available: App Store, Google Play Store, Amazon App Store for Android, PS Vita, Windows Phone Store, Windows Store, and Playstation Store

I think this game is amazing! It has over 50 million downloads! You can buy a cool gadget called the counterfeit machine for $1.99. It doubles every single coin you collect. (Does not include coins recieved from in-app purchases). You can buy (not real money) several cool gadgets in the stash, as well as vehicle upgrades and more suits.
