A complete, illustrated history of video games--highlighting the machines, games, and people who have made gaming a worldwide, billion-dollar industry/artform--told in a graphic novel format.

Author Jonathan Hennessey and illustrator Jack McGowan present the first full-color, chronological origin story for this hugely successful, omnipresent artform and business. Hennessey provides readers with everything they need to know about video games--from their early beginnings during World War II to the emergence of arcade games in the 1970s to the rise of Nintendo to today's app-based games like Angry Birds and Pokemon Go. Hennessey and McGowan also analyze the evolution of gaming as an artform and its impact on society. Each chapter features spotlights on major players in the development of games and gaming that contains everything that gamers and non-gamers alike need to understand and appreciate this incredible phenomenon.

Reliable comfortable stylish
Great product for the money.... Very solid!! Needs some breaking in but will definitely be more comfy after some weeks of consistent wear. Arch support is hard at first but once broken is feel nice. Great design and nice color way. Easy to keep clean. Would highly recommend. Great for house gym or light pool use.

Well made, with one issue
Size: 16 Women/15 Men, Color: Black/White/Black
Sandals are well made with nice arch support. Fit true to size (15). Only issue is that the front of each upper is thin and cuts into my skin just above the toes when bending the toes. No blood but a bit uncomfortable for long walks to and from the pool.

Super light and breathable, great for golf
Size: Medium, Color: White Golf Flag
I picked up the Obla Mens Golf Polo Shirt Dry Fit Performance and it’s been a great shirt for the course. The fabric is thin and stretchy, which makes it really comfortable and easy to move in. It breathes well, so you don’t feel overheated even when you’re out there for a while. Honestly, it’s so light it almost feels like you’re not wearing a shirt. The pattern looks great too, and the fit is on point, not too tight, not too loose. Pros: Lightweight and breathable Stretchy and comfortable Nice pattern/design Fits really well Cons: None so far Overall: Great golf shirt if you want something light and comfortable. Definitely one I’d pick up again

Attractive shirt and a great value
Size: X-Large, Color: Deep Purple Sunflower
Surprised by the quality. It looks more expensive than it was. It's an excellent value and fit perfectly. It's not boxy or sloppy, but looks trim and professional. The fabric is a perfect weight for Spring and Summer, and the colors and pattern are really nice. It laundered like a dream. With no shrinkage. This is versatile enough to wear on the golf course, or dressed up with a sport jacket over it. Great buy.
