POW snapshot

In my life I have had lots of photos taken of me. Philmont was my greatest and most difficult adventure literally. I climbed mountains with friends i got to see sights no one will get to see like me unless they go out and do what i did. I enjoyed this trip. we were outdoors and I was with my best friend the whole way. Some of the events that took place there were hilarious. while i was up there i learned exactly how much will i had and Philmont pushes you to the limit. my photo was of me doing another trip just as hard. we traveled about 35 miles in 5 days. It was supposed to be more than that but they miscalculated somehow how far we were going it was still just as hard though. The photo was of me and the others i was traveling with were all standing on the edge of a  mountain we had only gotten halfway up but in the photo looks like we were on top of one. I loved this Photo because it showed our support for each other. Even if we did have a few fights we got over them fast and helped each other climb in the photo were enjoying one last climb together it was like a closing picture. I hold it dear to me and im sure the others do to.

Pandora is wierd

If you have ever used Pandora you know it's pretty cool. Only problem is the functions it lacks. not being able to skip a certain amount of songs and you can't chose the song from name. It's a great way to widen your spectrum of like in music. unfortunately Ive heard some very mysterious things about it though and one of them was my father had his phone on in a meeting at work and it just started playing he didn't touch it or anything. There are multiple complaints that surround this. comment and tell if you have ever encountered a situation like this.

American McGee's Alice

American McGee's Alice is an amazing game i stumbled upon not too long ago it's pretty much a weird version of Alice in wonderland in a twisted demented way  i was in Block Buster in there they have these framed pictures and I just love looking through them. So I'm looking through a pile of pictures until I run into one with this girl who looks just like Alice in a twisted way her hair was ruffled and her dress dirty she looked like she had been through a lot her expression no less detailed and creepy serious and deadly not like the Alice from the original story who just ponders her way through wonder land but this is exactly what makes it so interesting you know things are out of place and it makes you feel creeped out how things are I started watching interviews and the producers of the game said that it was more of a psychological thriller in a sense the story starts out with a girl and two parents living in london in an apartment in the middle of some unnamed city this girl was obviously interested in Alice in Wonderland the family is living happily until there is a fire the parent were trapped and Alice had to leave them to their deaths this event traumatizes her mind eventually she starts to become clinically insane here is a demonstration of just how insane she is Alice's mental review i haven't gotten through the whole game yet but so far of what I've seen the game was beautifully done

ninety nine nights good or bad?

the xbox 360 game Ninety Nine Nights was an addicting game. After playing it for an hour you seriously start to get sick of it. All you do is have little mini wars and you play as some mighty awesome fighter and the fighting style consists of running around and slicing and dicing everyone in  your way that's it. Now I'm not saying that i want them to start putting some puzzles in the game. (i hate puzzles) but how about some variety like actually blocking in the game you just put your weapon in front of you like no ones gonna hit you in the back. In other places like the cut scenes the characters have quite a weak dialogue. It seems empty although in hi-definition its worth nothing in a sense. I liked the game but again you have to have a very ridiculously long attention span to play this game for more than thirty minutes.

AOW

In the event the the student being kicked out of school isnt fair. The reasons for this mishap of happening is not completely their fault. The teacher did not specify wether it would or wouldnt be ok to take a picture so they did then the next night she is told to get rid of the picture she does so immediately in obedience and is told she is in no trouble. Without warning again they tell her she is kicked out throughout this whole procces she is completely left out. Has  no idea what they wanted it was wrong of the school not to specify and to not give a warning it was unfair the school should give the student her spot back and give her a warning for the future and for other students.

dead space

What makes dead space weird? Everything considering the fact that it's so realistic when you play this game it starts out with you and some others coming to repair a ship that's gone pretty much MIA. So this shows that this world inside the game has a system right off the bat. Then as you get further the dialogue is beautiful with exception to the occasional cuss word. The emotions evoked in this game are very believable if you were attacked by some flesh hungry monster who has knives pretty much for hands yes i would probably get scared. but fear isn't the only emotion in this story sadness and anger are also shown. these elements are pushed harder into the story to make it a little more interesting. in the beginning the team starts off fighting each other even when the ship is crashing. Talk about brother sister relationship. now again you know my fascination for mind bending twists in stories. a little heads up for gamers who haven't played this game yet I'm going to give some story plot out for this blog so plug your ears! not only is this game a game based on emotions and fear but also on the mind. at the end of the game you finally get it through your tough helmet that Nicole obviously died like all the others on the ship. gotta say though took him a while. but literally Isaac just puts a wall in his head determined that he will just see her walking through the halls whistling happily. Sorry not only that but he does find her only shes another figment of his imagination. Made by the marker to get him to save not only the ship but pretty much the marker. I'm excited for the second game and Ive played the demo they've stepped it up quite a bit gamers out there should be happy that i dub the second game worthy of awesomeness.

repeating is addicting? addicting?

I noticed that most the songs that i listen to are just short little musical wonders with a loop and reloop. but when i was on youtube one day i looked up this explanation about just why the peanut butter jelly song is so popular. They said the human mind is entertained by the same sound played over and over.  I have to wonder is this true? Funny thing is that I'm listening to Around the world by Daft punk while posting this so ill let you answer that yourself but it gives you something to think about.Daft Punk Around the world

cookie monster

i like the cookie monster i have heard rumors about the cookie monster being replaced by a new character called the vegetable monster this disturbs me for two reasons one the kids who have to experience this monster might not enjoy this character as much and it just doesn't make sense this doesn't really seem right to me not to mention the fact that they considered the cookie monster a influence on children to eat cookies and to obesity
