Keep It Clean – GameTruck Hygiene Practices
Despite our best efforts, we all know kids can be kind of dirty. It’s hard when your young to fully understand the importance of washing your hands throughout the day. As much as we lecture our kids about germs, it’s not always effective. A snot-nosed kid is every parent’s worst nightmare, and if one shows up to your party, it can be a breeding ground for germs. Here at GameTruck San Jose, you don’t have to worry about that thanks to a few of our safety precautions.
We Sanitize Everything
Before hosting each event, we have a thorough process to prevent the spread of germs and create a fun, stress-free environment for parents and children alike. After each event, the truck is sanitized entirely by our team to provide a safe and clean environment for our next guests. By sanitizing the truck between parties, we are offering an environment parents can be confident sending their children. Beyond that, we also make sure the controllers for each system are sanitized to prevent contamination.
Hand Sanitizer
Now you may be asking, how do we protect your kids once they’re all together? To keep things clean throughout the party we take a different approach. Hand sanitizer is provided for all children before entering the truck and after they leave to eliminate germs and bacteria. This way if something is going around we can combat the spread of germs within a confined space. Safe Space reports “Minimizing your exposure to other people’s germs is crucial for your health. When you take a moment to sanitize your hands a few times throughout the day, you reduce your chances of getting sick.” By ensuring the hands touching controllers are sanitized before and after interaction we are stopping the spread of viruses and bacteria.

Top 5 Character Makeovers In Video Game History
If you love playing video games, you likely have a favorite character. Whether a character is iconic or newly introduced, they’ve likely undergone some changes. Here are our top five character makeovers in video game history.
Lara Croft
When Lara Croft first debuted in Tomb Raider in 1996, the character looked nothing like the adventurer we know and love now. The original character had unrealistic proportions and looked more cartoony than human, while the current Lara is ridiculously lifelike.
Mario
Mario was introduced in 1985, and the character lacked definition because it debuted as an 8-bit character. You can’t fault the designers for not trying —the technology simply wasn’t there. Today, Mario is known for his red-and-blue getup and unforgettable mustache.
Link
When Link was introduced in The Legend Of Zelda, the character was playful and young looking, and he didn’t look much like today’s Link. While the outfit remained the same, the hero became more intense and intimidating.
Zelda
For more than 30 years, fans have loved Princess Zelda –– and she’s changed in major ways over the years. In the beginning, Zelda looks young and cartoony. Our current Zelda is a total warrior princess and looks much older.
Pikachu
Compared to our other character makeovers, Pikachu is much more subtle in its evolution. The original Pikachu was rounder and had slightly more detail than current versions. It makes sense that Nintendo has been hesitant to make any drastic changes to such a beloved character –– Pikachu’s yellow, slightly cuddly appearance is one of the most recognizable characters in the industry.

Top Three Video Game Romances
When you think about enviable romances in pop culture, you may first consider relationships like Jack and Rose from Titanic. But if you only look at books and movies for amazing love stories, you’re missing out on a huge subset of the entertainment industry. Video game romances are often even more romantic than what we see on the big screen. You may disagree with some of our picks for the top video game romances of all time, but you can’t deny that these characters have found something special. Read on to find out some of our favorite video game fairytales.
1. Mario and Princess Peach
If you’re looking for the perfect video game romance, you don’t have to look farther than Mario and Princess Peach. Mario spends most games determined to save the princess from Bowser. While Mario and Princess Peach aren’t ever officially recognized as a couple, it’s impossible to ignore the chemistry between the pair –– they’ve been going strong for over 30 years.
2. Nathan Drake and Elena Fisher
Nathan and Elena have a complicated relationship throughout Uncharted, especially when compared to Mario and Princess Peach. The couple often bickers about Nathan’s treasure hunting, but this romance is an unforgettable one because it’s realistic. In the end, everything works out for the couple –– a reminder that even complex relationships can have happy endings.
3. Kairi and Sora
Kingdom Hearts fans are well-versed in the story of Kairi and Sora, but for those who aren’t familiar with the two, they’re a heartwarming pair. They grew up as childhood friends, and who can resist a lifelong love story? We won’t spoil the ending for you, but Sora makes quite the sacrifice for Kairi in the game’s first installment.
