WORD OF THE DAY! 10/14/12.

snapshot [snap-shot]
noun
1. An informal photograph, especially one taken quickly by a hand-held camera.
2. Hunting. A quick shot  taken without deliberate aim.
3. Informal. A brief appraisal, summary, or profile.

EX. Pokemon Snap is a game I really need to do a review for, but while I'm here lemme just give you a snapshot of one of the unspoken classics of the N64. Pokemon is a rail-shooter where, instead of shooting pokemon, you attempt to take pictures of them for Professor Oak. You could change the pokemon that would show up, change their attitudes, and get them to do various things, ex. make Pikachu hop on a surf board, by throwing apples to attract them and repellent balls to either scare them off or make them woozy enough to slow them down. The game has its charm and I'd recommend it to any Pokemon fan.

BONUS: Surfing in Five Generations of Pokemon. I could point out the various reason G-5's art style and presentation is better, but I think its obvious why.
