The Flash - What is It?

-------- The Flash --------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, there are plenty of people who DO know about this show, due to it's growing popularity. That, and the growing popularity of comic books in the media. Being a nerd is growing to be a real statement (except by definition, most people are actually geeks). Now, for those who don't know what the Flash is, well, let me give you a little review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Comic Book Origins

To put it simply, The Flash is a comic book series about a super speedster who used his superhuman abilities to save the day. His sense of heroism, saving the day in a stream of scarlet, captivated a new generation of comic book goers. The original Golden Age Flash is Jay Garricks, the first of the family line, and the founder of Justine Society of America. Next came the more renown Berry Allen, Silver Age Flash and Founder of the Justice League of America. Upon his death, Wally West became his predecessor, the first official Kid Flash. Finally, the fourth Flash, Bart Allen, who took his alias as Impulse. The Flash began in 1940, but the Flash we popularize today wasn't in light in till 1956. Barry Allen takes two main identities in the comic book world. From 1985-2011, Barry Allen's story followed the New Earth time line. By 2011, the launch of The New 52, Prime Earth, brought us a new time line for Barry Allen.

The Flash Media

The Flash has become a media icon that has been featured in a number of TV shows, video games, and referenced in different parts of the world wide web. Currently coming to the end of it's first season, The Flash has come to great light in our comic book world. First featured on mothering show Arrow, the Flash had it's own spin-off series, diverging into the world of Arrow, but roaming around with it's own super hero plot line. Airing every Tuesday on the CW, we have less than a week before the final episode airs. If it sounds interesting, well, you should go being and catch up!

Cool Tool - The Humble Bundle

THE HUMBLE BUNDLE?
------------------------------------------

 The Humble Bundle is an organization aimed at Helping Charities, as well as providing the public with quality, low priced goods. Popular for selling Digital Copies of games at a low price, has come to sell other goods too, such as books and mobile games. The Humble Bundle started in 2010, founded by Jeff Rosen. 

 According to Wikipedia, Jeff's "inspiration c[ame] to him through similar sales of bundle packages on the Steam platform." 

 Steam is a game platform, not held for charity purposes. Rather than selling games at a lower price, Steam is a platform used for PC game variety. Steam provides a selection of all major PC titles, and many indie titles to boot. However, Steam does have bundles too. It provides sales for games, and sale bundles, making Steam a very popular Game Platform. 

 One thing that is unique about the Humble Bundle experience is that it offers a Pick-You-Own-Price feature. This means that if you find a game, or bundle, on their site, you can pick your price! The total will then be split among Developer, Humble Bundle, and Charity of choice. Certain bundles will require a set amount of funds before a game can be redeemed, but you can pay more if desired.
SO, WHAT DO I DO?
------------------------------------------
If your a gamer, or simply a book worm, you can use the Humble Bundle and feel good about it. For instance, on the date this article was made, the Humble Bundle is now providing a Star Wars bundle. You can start out by redeeming games through Steam, but by providing a set donation, can get $137 worth of games.

 Or, of course, get some books with the Choose-Your-Price Feature. Overall, it's a useful tool, and operates with a good cause.
