I like Cookies

Merry Sunday everyone,

I like christmas, do you like christmas? It isn't my favourite event of the year but it is still pretty damn awesome. As awesome as the christmas season is I am slightly annnoyed that shopping centers start playing christmas songs in November. I am getting a bit sick of hearing the same 5 tracks over and over again, but christmas is still awesome.

I sorry to start off with a complaint but at least I didn't apoligize in the title this time.

Last night I finally finished the main story off Fable III. Yay! It took ages because I had to fight for the Xbox with my brother, my sister and my dad. Sadly I am slighty dissapointed by how easy the final boss was to beat. The only Fable game where the final boss has been challenging in my opinion is Fable. The first game had a hard-ish final boss that could be easy or hard depending on what you spent your experience on. The final boss in Fable III was just easy. The game is still amazing and other parts in the game provided a challenge, so yea.

That is my post for the week. As you have seen the title has nothing to do with the post, I just wanted to inform you that I like cookies.

Farewell,

Ayame

Post the First

Hey!

So, this is my first time posting here, as should be evident. I am, in a fashion, the latter of the trio+1, despite only ever having met 2 of the 3. I also happen to be the artist creator of the crappy webcomic Base2. I figure I'll start out with something simple, with a bunch of recommendations from various aspects of our culture.

Webcomic: Homestuck
Essentially deriving it down to brass tacks, Homestuck is a story of a few kids who start to play a new game, one that is initially similar to the sims; one player acts as a server player, able to manipulate the house and environment of their client player. It soon takes it up to eleven, exploring great swathes of facets from internet relationships, both existing and new, to themes of birth and rebirth, coming of age and so forth. Of course all of this deeper meaning business is very easily overlooked what with all the weird plot and time stuff going on. Wait, did the frog-ghost-girl just inhabit that soulbot, rip her heart out and roboslap that guy before they embraced in a passionate kiss?

Anime: Neon Genesis Evangelion
One of the most iconic shows of the mech-anime genre. Basically, a city is under attack by strange powerful beings called angels, and the only ones able to pilot the last remaining defense (mechs, of course) are 14 year olds with SERIOUS ISSUES. It starts out nice enough, comparatively speaking (the first episode ends with the protagonist's mech being mercilessly stabbed in the head multiple times, the pilot naturally being able to feel everything), but eventually you watch as the creator spirals down into the depths of depression. There is currently a series of movies underway, titled Evangelion Rebuild, that are in a sense a reconstruction of the original into beautiful effects. These are able to be watched without having seen the original, but I don't recommend it.

Game: Portal
Hey look, something that isn't about a bunch of young kids. The game is simple, short, and oh so sweet. You wake up in a testing facility, where an AI proceeds to guide you through an increasingly difficult series of portal based puzzles. Very simple concept: go in blue portal, come out orange. Go in orange, come out blue. It all may seem pointless, but you do get to have lots of fun, meet a really nice friend who loves you unconditionally from the very beginning, and there is the promise of cake at the end...

So I'm going to leave it at that for now, and probably leave another bunch of recommendations next time.

Yours rantingly,
~AR

Philosophy is just religion without a God.

Hiya!

That title has absolutely nothing to do with what I'm going to talk about, but it's still true.

I'm going to talk about why I think exams.

This is why they suck:

First of all, when compared with actual assignments, they're not reallt worth that much. It's like we get a whole week of school dedicated to something that won't really change our grade that much anyway.

Also, what's the chance that on that particular day, at that particular time, for that particular subject you are at your peak? Not very likely. Even with and entire years warning, there's no way you can be at your best for your exams.

For a lot of people, the pressure gets to them. They stress in an exam and no matter how much they actually know, they can't remember it all. It'll show up that the exam has a much lower score than they could've achieved if they were told it was a practise test.

So overall exams are annoying and cause so many people so much stress.

But! Here's why you should still do them anyway:

• Because it's not our choice
• Because trying to change it would take too long and we would lose anyway
• Because there's no other way to make sure that no one helps you
• Because even if it's only a little, it still affects your grade
• Because universities look at exam results as well as your grade
• Because people who've been in education for eons have decided on it, I think they know what they're doing
• Because it's easier to take an exam than it is to change an entire schooling system

 So all in all, as annoying as exams are, there's no better alternative. So anyone who's ever said "Why do we have to take an exam?" now you know why. And anyone who's ever complained about taking them, now you know you should just suck it up and stop whining like a kid ^_^

Oh, and bonus fact about me: The reason I have good grammar and spelling and punctuation is because my father worked at a newspaper as an editor (but not the editor) and I got in the habit of writing correctly because he used to point everything out on my work. In time I found myself looking for it before hand. This developed into a habit and so now I write correctly because I get annoyed with myself if I don't.

Anywho, I believe that is all I have to say... except...

TWO MORE EXAMS! TWO MORE EXAMS! XD excited!

Ok, now I'm done

Ciao,

Once again another apology

Hello,  

As you have most likely guessed by the title I am apoligizing...again. You have guessed correctly. First and foremost my post last week most a fail as the link didn't work but you can always copy and paste the website or just google Fable III and I'm sure the website will appear. Also I am once again saying sorry for my horrible english skills as I have mentioned in an earlier post my spelling, grammar and punctuation suck.

This week I decided that I would give you a guide on how to look after a pet rock.

CONGRATULATIONS

You are now the proud owner of your very own Pet Rock.

 This is a guide to help you look after your new Pet Rock.

Rocks are very loyal and special creatures that need lots of love and attention.

Rocks have special dietary requirements so only the best of pet owners can look after it.

Rocks only eat one thing that is very hard to get, air. 

Rocks live off air so make sure you give your rock plenty of air everyday.

Also Rocks have no need to relief themselves, isn’t that great? 

They never have to go pee-pee or poo-poo.

That’s all you need to know about your new Pet Rock. 

Just remember to look after it and treat it well and you guys will be the best of friends.

If you have any questions feel free to ask.

To all those rock owners hope this helps

Farewell,

Ayame

Life is swell

Good evening kiddlings

Today I had my last lesson for the year. That's right, I only have to live through 3 exams and then I have nothingness on til school starts next year, and I spend the first 3 days of that on retreat anyway.

Today I was reassured of my nerdy-ness. I attended a VET course this year in childcare, as a result I missed one lesson of chemistry every week. The past term has been spent mostly catching up work and doing tests I was away for. 3 weeks ago I realised that I would have to take a test on our final topic without having a single class lesson on it. Since I had other tests in between, I hadn't thought about it much, but last night I decided I should probably start learning. So my friends went over it with me yesterday after school and this morning in our study. It took a total of about 2 hours to teach me everything in the test and guess what? It was the easiest test I've done all year! I can't believe I ever stressed about it.
For those interested (and who understand what it is) the test was on redox and galvanic cells etc

In other news Harry Potter previews today in Adelaide. Sadly I will be unable to see it for a while as I have exams next week. However there was talk of plans for the madubachi trio to go see it sometime for Ayame's birthday however details are still to be confirmed.

I believe that is all I have to say for this week, I shall return in 7 days, by which time I will have completed 1, possibly 2 exams, depending on what time I write my blog. Until then!

Ciao,
Shigure

An Apology

Good Day fellow readers
I apoligize for missing my post this weekend but my computer died so I couldn't do it also I would like to apoligize for getting the name of the 2nd Nerd Fest wrong. I was under the impression that it was going to be called Nerd Fest 2.0 but after a group disscussion we decided on the name Nerd Fest 1.2.
I believe that is all I must apoligize for... for now.

Now for the real deal.

A few weeks ago I mentioned that one of the most amazing games in the world was coming out. Today I was finally able to play said game. Fable III is amazing!!!!!!!!!! It's so good, the graphics is amazing and the cutscenes are so realistic, also the hero actually talks. In the perivous Fable games all you have ever heard the hero say grunts whilst they have been in battle, now the hero actually talks.

Here's the website if you want to check out some screenshots from the game or watch the opening movie.

So yeah once again I'm sorry for being a day late and that is all for now

Farewell
