Vlog time!

The vlog is now out, though quite late...
Link to it here.
Don't mind the drumming in the background...

So I haven't posted in a while. EVEN THOUGH I just made my comeback...
Meh, que sera sera.
I might be making a vlog, dunno yet though... If anyone showed enough interest I would (hint hint)

Warthog: Don't even ask.

I think my blog posts are taking longer and longer to be released.
But I suppose that's because I have less to talk about these days...
My life wasn't always this boring!

But considering it is, I thought I needed a new hobby. You know, to make my life more interesting.
Sadly, I haven't a clue what hobby I could do.

Post in the comments, please.

PLEASE.

Anyway, [subject change] Elder scrolls V Skyrim is going to be out on the 11^th November this year!
Or, if you prefer, 11-11-11...
But dates beside, it is going to be SO EPIC.

Hmm, I think I've been thinking about making a vlog too much, I was about to say "Link in the dooblydoo"

But anyway, link to it's trailer here.
.
And link to two other blogs of relative awesomeness, ACarnivalOfSorts and TheIndefiniteCollab.
Oh, and if you didn't know, that's my sister in the second last video so far (1 O'clock saturday) entitled "I am NOT a little teapot"

She smashes an egg against her head.

She is silly.

Anywho, that's all from me for now.

Disputatio tibi posterius.

I, too, have returned...

As the title derptacularly suggests, I'm back... And I'm not the only one. My friend over at A Carnival Of Sorts has restarted his blogging, with an awesome batman comic...

And I SUPPOSE I have to mention that my sister drew it...

Sigh.

But anyway, onto the regular subjects.

The lego warthog... hasn't really changed in status.
I've made some minor changes to the wheel steering mech, but that's it...

Then there's MINECRAFT.

If you don't know what minecraft is, DO.
It is a game made up of 3D blocks 1m x 1m x 1m, which are different materials, such as dirt, stone, wood, etc.
You can pick up and place these blocks, you can build stuff, and you can make tools and weapons to make better stuff.

But first, you dig a hole in the ground, and stay there for the night, because of the kamikaze shrubs called creepers.

Any true minecraft fan will flinch if you start hissing close enough to them, as they will think you are a creeper.

But anyway, it's awesome. And I will probably be posting stuff from it at irregular intervals.

Oh, yeah, I'm on mid-term now :D

And earlier today I got my music practical pieces sorted out...
On the piano I'll be playing the Super Mario theme, and River Flows In You,
And on the saxomaphone I'll be playing Off To California and Take 5...

Shouldn't be too bad...

Oh, check out my friend Josey's blog, Hate To Be Doing Physics, as she has been doing some funny stuffs...

Hey hey, I got Halo Reach... Those elites are IMPOSSIBLE.... Or more IMPASSIBLE...

They just won't bloody well die!!!

Well, that's all from me...

Disputatio tibi posterius.

Goodbye for now

As the title suggests, I will be gone for the next good while.

Before I get into the really bad news, I would just like to give you a quick progress report;

I have started on the warthog turret, and nearly finished, I just need to finish off the mechanism connecting one of the motors to the turret to change the elevation. The barrel even spins!

And I also started work on the wheel mechanism, because, unless you are unfamiliar with the warthog (in which case I advise you to GET HELP), it has a very peculiar way of attaching the wheels to the body.

Now, for the extremely depressing news:

A very close friend of mine had a heart attack the other day. He is now in hospital, on life support, while they run some tests on him, so they can see if he's eligible to donate organs.

After that, unless they find out why he had a heart attack, and they can fix whatever went wrong.....
They turn off the life support.

I won't be posting for a long while, it might be months before I get back to it.

I bid you farewell.
Disputatio tibi posterius.

I do not like it when I'm pressured into impossibility

As the title suggests, I don't like pressure. The stress kind of pressure, that is. I'm indifferent about physical pressure, such as air pressure.
But back to the pressure at hand.
Our Irish teacher thinks I'm really nonsensical (I can understand), forgetful (I can completely understand), and that I never listen.

Back up a minute.

I may be slightly less comprehending of human speech patterns than most, but I don't never listen.

And now it's a "Do one more thing wrong and you've got detention" situation, and this pressures me into being awesome at everything about Irish for the next 6 months or so...

Not friggin' likely!

Mah Burthday

Finally I'm fifteen... It's been a long time coming... My friend has his birthday on 31^st of December, so every year, on the first eleven days of January, he goes to me and says "Hey, when are you turning 16? Oh, that's right, you're only 14 now... And you're sixteenth birthday isn't until next year... You see, I'm turning sixteen this year... In fact, I'll be turning 17 next year."

And so, considering this, I stand up straight, and looking down at him with my one inch height advantage.

What else can I do?

Well, anyway, I managed to escape my birthday beatings because, sadly, I am very sick. It's twenty past one and I'm still in my pyjamas...

But health in general aside, there has been something that I've noticed that's been bothering me...

When we txt ppl, we tend 2 abbr. wrds so dat it dosnt take as long. But sumtin dat anoys me is when sum1 txtin u spels a word diff, w/ out makin it shortr... like "teh" or "evar".... or my personal least favourite, when you spell "your" with a "'re" at the end when you're not supposed to... It's teh biggest waste of you're time evar!

Side note:
Still taking suggestions for song to play/sing on Friday, if you have any ideas, post them in the comments below ↓

Disputatio tibi posterius.

Rubik's Cubes or Rubiks' Cubes?

Now, if you don't already know, I am a big fan of the whole Rubik's cube franchise. I am able to solve a 2x2, a 3x3, a 4x4 and a 5x5 of the original cubes. I am also able to solve a Rubik's magic, though few people have heard of it.
I also used to know how to solve a pyraminx, though I haven't used one in so long I've mostly forgotten.

But there was always something that bugged me when talking about the spelling.
At first, everyone just calls it a 'rubix' cube, with an 'x' at the end, but eventually you realise that it ISN'T SPELLED LIKE THAT.


But over the years, I have seen another dilemma.

If you are talking about more than one Rubik's cube, how do you spell it?

Is it "Rubik's cubes", implying that "Rubik's cube" is all one noun and should be treated like one, or is it "Rubiks' cubes", which would be the proper English for ownership of plural nouns?

But all plurality aside, if there is anyone out there who strives to be a good solver, great tutorials on solving the 3x3 and the 4x4 were made by Dan Brown, a famous youtuber.

By the way, there's a pun at the end of the intro to the 4x4 video, he says it 'wants revenge', but he fails to mention that the 4x4 is commonly called the Rubik's revenge...

One other thing before I go;
Tony Fisher is a professional  puzzle modder, you should really check out his videos.
And also, there is no stopping how far they will go: Do want, but it costs a fortune.

I shall leave you now, but with a warning: NEVER attempt to solve an evil twin.

Just don't.

It's not safe.

Disputatio tibi posterius.
