So, I love horror films, right? Right. Well, just a day or two ago, we watched the film The Cabin in the Woods in my Media class. I don't know whether I liked it or not. The part of me that is obsessed with horror films loved all of the references, but the part of me that appreciates horror films doesn't like what they did with the film. They obviously tried to re-write the horror formula, much like Scream, except they took a very different root, and I'm not sure whether I like the root they took. Now, I'm not making this post to review the film, I'm just throwing that out there. As I write this post, I'm in the process of doing my Media Homework, and whilst doing it I remembered Cabin. So, I decided to look for a list of all of the references to horror films. There are so many, I feel like a Link in a Pot Store (That's Pot, not Pot), like when I looked for all of the video game references in Wreck-it-Ralph. Now, this all seems normal, but the reason I'm suddenly making this post is that for some reason, I don't know why, but in the search for references I found my train of thought had brought me to a rather unfamiliar station. I've only just realised how one scene in particular greatly disturbs me. I don't know why it's this one scene in particular when there are so many others that it could be. I feel weird just thinking about it. It's the scene with the unicorn. When it gallops down the hallway when all of the monsters have broken free. When the sweet music plays as it impales a man against a wall with its horn. To me it's one of the most horrific scenes in the film. It's possibly the magical third scene. The third scene out of every horror film I have ever seen which I would not like to watch again. This scene doesn't make me want to vomit in disgust like the other two. This scene just upsets me. That's all. It almost brings a tear to my eye. I can't even...
That film is weird. I don't think I like it. I like the Evil Dead references and the Hellraiser-esque guy, but that's it.
My name is Sam. This is my blog. I'm linking this blog as much to my YouTube channel as possible. What ever you do, do not feel obliged to watch any of my videos. But it would be nice.

Ear today, gone tomorrow
Hey, it's me again. Listen, I have something wrong with my ear. I've been in pain since Saturday. Yesterday at my last day of work at the shop which shall not be named, I was in agony because they aren't allowed to keep painkillers in case someone takes an overdose which is fair enough. But today I'm skipping college and going to the doctor's in the afternoon. Why am I telling you this? Because I've decided to use this precious time to make my Channel Trailer on YouTube. I need to think really hard as to what it's going to be, so wish me luck.

It's me again.
I just read a statistic saying that 95% of blogs are abandoned after 120 days. I didn't want the statistic to apply to mine, so here I am again. It may be worth mentioning that in the time I've been away from this blog, I've successfully applied for a job, went for the interview for this job, got the job, then about 2 months later (today) got fired from the job. I'm not in a good mood. What else? Well, that's the only thing worth mentioning, I think. But it's not all bad, I mean, I got a nice wedge of money from the job, I now don't have to worry about buying a costume for the New Year, I can now catch up on sleep, I have more time to get homework done, and I don't have to fill in this Bronze work booklet any more.
I sure am looking forward to next week when the new series of The Big Bang Theory starts. What's that? I live in the UK? I can't watch it on the TV because it won't come out until next year for me? Well, you see, that's why I use Cucirca. Ahhh... That's right Sam, look for the positives. What else has happened? I bought Pikmin 3? I pre-ordered the metal-case, special edition thing version of Batman: Arkham Origins? I went on my first Helicopter ride? I discovered that the amazing-looking LEGO Movie comes out 3 days after my birthday? I bought my very first album? I purchased the first of what will hopefully be many items from Edmund McMillen's online store? Yes to all! I should buy something to try and get my mood up. A game. One which I have been wanting to play for a while. I shall have a think.
Well, it was nice to see you again. Perhaps the next time I will see you will be next year, when I go to Comic-Con again, or perhaps before that, if I get something nice for Christmas. Well, I definitely think we shall meet again.
Ta ta.

It's been a while
Like the subtle Scary Movie reference there? No? OK. Well, not a lot has happened in the past almost 2 weeks. I must confess, the only reason I haven't been on here is because I've recently got back into Animal Crossing. NOT NEW LEAF. Let's go to the City (City Folk, for you yanks). Queen Ruse let me play on her copy of New Leaf, and I just feel the game is better played on a big TV screen, so you can see all of your lovely village. I also don't particularly like the idea of Main Street, it just seems like they've taken the idea of the City from LgtC, and added the Museum and Shops to it. It just doesn't appeal to me all that much. I also really, REALLY don't like the taller character models. Having spent months playing on LgtC, and a few weeks on WW (when NerdE let me borrow it a couple of years ago), I'm used to the shorter, stubbier characters. It suits the game more, in my opinion. Yes, the taller characters allow for more customisation, but it doesn't look good when you're running along, they look so... Odd. Anyway, I digress, I'm here to post a reminder for myself: BRAID. After watching Caddicarus' Top 10 Most Depressing Games, I really want to see the ending. REALLY BAD. So, because I'm stuck I'll watch some walkthrough videos and then play it. Oh, I know, kill me, but you know what? It doesn't matter, it won't take away from my experience, and you watching won't see the tutorial video... My video is in a way a tutorial video so it matters even less. Anyway, I've been editing Episode 2 of NDTY, in the past 2 days I've done... 6 minutes. It's taking....SOOOO LONG. I have no idea why. I think I'm trying to add too much, I'm putting too much on my plate, maybe. Or, I think the more likely reason is the software I'm using. That's right, Windows Movie Maker... For God's sake, it's so bad. The slightly older version of it was so much better. I need something good, that won't take me SO SODDING LONG. I JUST WANT TO GET THIS ONE DONE. But guess what? This Pokemon one is only about 20 minutes long. The other 2 we recorded are......... OVER TWICE AS LONG. Oh. My. Jesus. But we need to start somewhere, and actually thinking about it, I think the way I've done it, I can get away with using less pictures for the other 2. So far what I've done for Ep 2 is great, but I need to pace myself for the others. Anyway, I'm tired so I'll see you next time.

Happy Father's Day!
Although it's just another festivity created by card and gift manufacturers to coincide with Mother's Day. Still, I won for the very first time in a table tennis match against my dad. I get to go home early from college tomorrow! Last night me and NerdE recorded 3, yes, 3 episodes of NDTY so I have some serious editing to do, I'm thinking of making them look better overall, I think the thumbnails for these 3 look better, I've almost completely redone the subscribe screen, and I'm thinking of making some small changes to the images I use in the video, such as for NerdE's mood, I'll give the little NerdE head eyebrows and a mouth to relate to the emotion, and I have some great ideas in general. I want our future NDTYs to be a lot more professional in the way that we deliver the content. In other words, I'm seriously considering we script future episodes, but I'm loving the way we end each episode at the moment; we just see what happens, in the next episode I leave the conversation to play Mega Man... Which is awesome by the way. I bought it yesterday, and I only played it today, it's so good but it's SOOOOOOO hard. I'm trying the Slash Man stage (I think he's called Slash Man, I'm not sure, the one with the boomerang), and I can do pretty much all of it, the only thing that really gets me is the flying blue enemies with the huge grins... they're so tricky! Speaking about Mega Man, how about E3 this year? Pretty good, huh? I'm so glad in NDTY Episode 1 I managed to correctly predict Mega Man as a playable character... I'm so happy he and Villager are in it. Something scary happened that day. Well, 2 Twists of Fate happened that day. One was the fact the college was closed... on the day of Nintendo's E3 reveals... what a treat... the other was that, while I was waiting for Nintendo to upload their videos, I got a sudden urge to play Animal Crossing: Let's go to the City (Animal Crossing: City Folk for you yanks) again (I'm still playing it now, I'm playing it every day!). Then... at what was it 3 O'Clock? They release the announcement trailer for Super Smash Bros for Wii U/3DS... and the Animal Crossing Villager is confirmed as a playable character... what does this mean? Are these signs that I will one day take over the Animal Crossing/Super Smash Bros departments at Nintendo? Or something equally God-like? I'm left here questioning, but I need to go now as I'm so tired and I have college tomorrow... But only for a half day LOL!

The Great Collapse
Just noticed how much that Macmillan Cancer Support advert with the people falling over in slow motion reminds me of the ATC 70th Anniversary event at Norwich. SO MANY Cadets fainted, it was ridiculous... not the amount of time they got us to stand at ease, but the number of weak cadets there were there. About 12 kids had to sit down, about 6 or 7 fainted, one cadet who was just behind me even fell backwards, down a step onto some concrete. It was terrifying, there was a huge thud, I heard people behind me running up to him, and an ambulance turned up. He was fine, but I didn't know if he smashed his head on the ground or if they were going to stop the whole thing. Yeah, the people in the cancer advert falling in slow motion reminds me of when I would see people collapsing in my peripheral vision on that day.

Um...
I have no idea what to say. So much has changed in the past day or two. Not necessarily big changes, but changes that have effected the way I think and look at life. It may seem a bit weird and unusual for someone like me to say something like that, but it's the truth. I found out today from the newspaper that my idol Stephen Fry tried to commit suicide last year. I don't know what I would have done if he had succeeded. God. Wow. Apparently he took an overdose of some pills and lots of vodka, but all that happened was vomiting so bad it broke four of his ribs followed by a black out. I say 'all', it must have been horrible for him. I don't want to talk about this any more.
Another factor is the conversations I was having with my Grandma yesterday, basically we were talking about how much she had changed in the last 40 or so years. That got me thinking of course about age and, ultimately got me thinking about death. I don't like to talk about the death of a family member, but since my Granddad's passing last year I have been thinking a lot about death. It may sound bad, but I think of it as a simple thought exercise. What actually happens after death? It's such a deep question. We don't know. We can't know. We can never know, until we ourselves die. It's almost unbearable sometimes when I think about it too much. But I'm far too sane to drive myself to suicide. According to my Year 6 teacher I was a very curious person, but I don't think I will ever be THAT curious.
Anyway, positive things... positive things... I managed to get NerdE into Zelda today. SCORE! Another Lozer, as I call them. I don't, I just made up that word just now, but I can start calling people who play Zelda 'Lozers'. Yes, I will. Aren't many positive things. I don't think I'm going to get used to these people changing the guttering on our house. Every morning for the past 3 days... SO MUCH NOISE. They'll be here for 2 weeks. Eurgh. I just remembered a positive thing, 2 days ago LUIGI'S MANSION 2 CAME! WOOP! It's really good, but the two stand on their own. They both have their strong points, but I think the first one wins just because it was completely different at the time. I think the second one would have been better if it had been released earlier. 12 years ago Luigi's Mansion was released. 12 years. Think about that.
Yeah, this sentence doesn't really belong here but I've just noticed I've got all these days mixed up. It doesn't help that I post these in the wee hours because it's really confusing me when stuff happens. I should write these earlier in the day, or at least before midnight. Anyway I'm doing some gardening tomorrow, I'm doing the same activity which was the reason for that strange post a few weeks ago titled 'Hurt...Hurt...'. Wish me luck. That actually reminds me: The marks on my arm that Tyrone gave me have peeled off. They've gone. They've left some kind of scar, like when you peel off a blister but they've basically gone now. Yay.

I've given it week...
And nothing's happened. Well, not nothing, but hardly anything. I wanted to leave it so that in the next post I would have a lot to talk about, but that hardly worked. Well, on Thursday, so 30th May, I bought lots of stuff to keep me occupied during the week Study Leave I have. Note: I'm not doing work because I have finished all of my exams, I finished them the day before I went to Comic Con, so I have no work to do. Anyway, I bought 3 films: the first 3 X-Men films. I bought Bioshock for PC which I have played a bit of, and I do really like it. I've left it quite a while before I've started playing that franchise, haven't I? I bought the prequel to one of my favourite games: Arkham Asylum. I've left it quite a while to finally play that haven't I? I completed the story yesterday, and I finished all of the Riddler Challenges and Spirit of Arkham things today. So that's done. But today I bought Harley Quinn's Revenge for Arkham City, to keep the Batman fires burning. One the same day I bought those things I FINALLY ordered Luigi's Mansion 2 on eBay. I've left it TOO LONG to get that game, my desktop wallpaper is of that game for cripes sake. I got a message yesterday saying the guy has posted it first class, so I should get that in a couple of days. Can't wait!
The main reason I've suddenly come out with a post to say almost nothing is because I've recently (about 15 minutes ago) seen a YouTube video that's really annoyed me. A Toby Turner video. He annoys me anyway, but this one in particular. He's started playing VVVVVV. I walkthrough that game on YouTube... That's my game... But it's motivated me to finish playing it before him. It won't work though because I like to mix up what I upload, I don't like two consecutive videos that belong in the same Playlist. But it's a goal, he might not even do any more... He will, but a man can dream...
One more thing, NerdE doesn't know it yet, but I've decide the next episode of NDTY will be Sonic Lost World. It'll be interesting because he doesn't like Sonic. Till next time!

We're back
Back to the old grind. I miss Comic Con. I'm still in awe. I'm really looking forward to next year, purely because of how amazingly easily and quickly I found the Awesomeness. Is it sad? Should I move on? Or should I try and contain this feeling and just think about it whenever I'm on my own at college? College. I'm in college. Sitting here listening to Rhett and Link's Graduation Song, I've only just realised that I only have one year of education left before I could move out of the house, get married, and get a job. Life is scary. I don't like it. Why is it that things like education fly by, and the things like next year's Comic Con take forever to roll toward you? The things you want (Christmas, Birthdays) seem a lifetime away, but the things you don't want (PE lessons, CO's Parade (only Air Cadets will get that)) come as regularly as a bowel movement. And yet, time flies when you're having fun. It doesn't make sense. And what's it all for anyway? It's like what Final Destination taught me: Our choices in life. All of them. They just determine how we're going to die. Then what happens? No one knows. No one can know. Unless they die. Seems pointless, we just live to die, why should we bother with the life part in the first place? But why is it that some people's life choices mean that when they die, they have a huge effect on other people's lives? That's how you know you've lived your life, when when you die, you have an impact. But how is that impact going to help you when you're dead? Life's scary. Life's complicated. I'm only 17 years old and I'm questioning what the purpose of life is. Something that Stephen Hawking explored in the second episode of his brilliant 'Stephen Hawking's Grand Design' mini-series. One of the best series on TV. Completely changed the way I look at life. Completely opened me up to all kinds of theories. Only lasted for 3 episodes. I'm only 17 years old. I'm scared to know what's going to happen to me. I'm scared to know what it'll be like to move out, learn how to drive... graduate.

Con UPDATE #2!
(Possibly) Best. Day. Ever. Where do I start? Oh, it was so fun. I was slightly worried meeting Three Bewb Smirnoff, as I always am when meeting anyone new, but he's a great guy. He can draw so well, and on the train there he did some amazing charactertures of The Asian Kid and NerdE, and then me at the end of the day. When we were in London, getting to the MCM was a nightmare thanks to Animamagica being a complete control freak, but when we were there. Wow. Standing in the line, we saw thousands of people. Me and NerdE exchanged ideas of who we wanted to see. I wanted to see a PSY, specifically a PSY in the blue tuxedo from Gangnam Style, and I did; I wanted to see a Nova, and I didn't but I did see a Moon Knight and that more than made up for it, I saw him twice, both times I yelled "MOON KNIGHT!" at him and both times he ignored me, but the girl he was with giggled at me both times. I saw a Skull Kid and Moon paired costume. That was a massive highlight, as was the Judge Dredd, the Hetalia meet-up and the Pedo Bear. There were actually two Pedo Bears but one got kicked out, apparently. Hmm... What annoyed me were the number of Pikachu onesies, Monkey D Luffys and Deadpools. Although there were playable demos of the new Deadpool and One Piece games there so the Luffys and Deadpools were fair enough, but I was really pissed off at the number of Pikachus. I would have got some autographs if I knew who any of the people there were. I thought we were going to see the voice of Commander Shepard from Mass Effect: Mark Meer, but it turns out he was at the Manchester MCM, not the London one. I was going to get an autograph from him, and give it to Elfman. Actually, me saying I didn't know any of them is a bit of a lie, I do know who TomSka is but I don't particularly like asdf movie. I know, kill me, blah blah. Moving on, the Hetalia meet-up was great I managed to find a Sweden, and actually all of the other Nordics, we had loads of photos taken of us in the different groups. Me and NerdE found a Belarus and Ukraine for his Russia, and we hung around with them. They were great people. Actually, everyone at the meet-up was great, a great little community. I keep saying 'great', but that is just how the day was; great. I didn't buy a heck of a lot, in fact it truth be told, it wasn't as hideously expensive as I thought it would be... apart from the food. A bottle of water? £1.90 ($2.88) A salad sandwich? £4.75 ($4.75) Unbelievable. And the Japanese imports were expensive as well, but that's kind of a given. I bought an Essential Man-Thing from the official Marvel stall, just £5 ($7.59)! The Essentials were all on sale! Ha! I also got a Shy Guy plushy, from a stall that had loads, LOADS of Mario plushies, and a Portal 2 T-Shirt which I'm wearing now, it's got the two portals, blue at the top, orange at the bottom, Propulsion Gel falling from the blue portal, Repulsion Gel coming up from the orange portal, and in the middle a Companion Cube, the gels splatting everywhere on impact with it. It's a very nice design. And I'm so glad it fits. On the train back, before we had even decided if we were going to go back next year, me and NerdE were deciding who we should cosplay as. We've now decided we are going next year, and we are going as a pair costume: Ness and Jeff from Earthbound. I've already found this: Awesomeness. BRING IT ON, 2014!!!

Con UPDATE #1!
Don't know why I said that, there'll only be 2, one now and one when I get back. Anywho, I've just packed my costume, money, extra bits of equipment, and I'm now ready to go. Just need to set my alarm, then next I wake I will be off into the morn! You know when NerdE's coming to pick me up? 4:15...AM! WOO! I'm actually quite excited, and extremely nervous at the same time. God...When next we speak in about 12 hours, I will have officially been to Comic Con. I want to buy so much stuff! I've managed to save up lots of money for the occasion. This is going to be so fun! I can now officially reveal who I'm going as: Finland from Hetalia. Strange choice, I know, but I love him. NerdE's going as Russia, Animamagica is going as Prussia and The Asian Kid was going to go as Hong Kong, but due to certain changes she can't go in cosplay any more. But it's still going to be a great day, one I will definitely not regret. Here I come, London!

More Pain!?
Well, yesterday was fun, I got some extra money, found out about Season 3 of ERB and got invited to do some voice acting by my friend Shogun. Here's a link to the trailer. I don't know why I'm putting it here, as no one will see it, but I'm spreading the word none the less.
So, today I had my hair cut. Nothing special except for the fact I had to walk there. 1 hour and 20 minutes it took to get there. Same back. My feet hurt now. But at least my hair doesn't poke out the sides of my wig, so I'm all ready for Comic Con in 2 day's time! Bring it on! Maths exam tomorrow. I'm definitely not ready for it; I'm definitely not looking forward to it. Sigh...

Nope
Nothing to do. Nothing to say. Oh well. My life these next three weeks will be pretty meaningless unless I buy something to pass the time. Yeah, I'll do that, right after I listen to Tay Zonday singing the Skyrim theme again.

Getting back on the horse
So, I think I've now managed to earn back all the money I lost when me and NerdE had our little escapade in Yarmouth. I now like mowing the lawn even more, I used to hate it but now I find it quite relaxing. Yesterday me and Animamagica went to NerdE's house to style our wigs for Comic Con. I've discovered that even though me and NerdE spent exactly the same amount of money on our wigs, and even though the boxes are exactly the same, the only difference being the colour of the wigs, mine is of considerably poorer quality than his. You can see my hair underneath if you look at the back of my head. Might not seem like a problem (especially since I'll be wearing a hat), but then I have quite dark hair and the wig is blonde. So I need a bald cap now. Great. But on a completely unrelated plus side, I have realised something for my One Shots: the first one was a PS1 game...so I can do any game from any console. I know it's a series I created, so I should have really thought of that earlier, but better late than never. I'm thinking about doing a Sega arcade game. Yes, slightly influenced by the fact my brother bought a Sega arcade games book, but there's nothing wrong with a bit of Alex Kidd or Space Harrier, is there? Another update: the marks on my wrist that Tyrone gave me are still there, yesterday they went a bit blistery, they have done today as well. I think if they're there for another week I'll go to the doctor, but I think the red is starting to fade and they're definitely not as swollen so that's something, right? Anyway, I'm going to watch the rest of Britain's got more Talent, then have a Skyrim session, so bye for now.

HexaGONE!
Just finished recording, editing and saving One Shots Episode 2: Super Hexagon! Wow, that was fun. My videos that I've recorded ever since I started this blog have been a lot more enjoyable for me. Also, for this one I took a more professional approach. The introduction where I give a bit of history about the game in this episode was scripted, so I talk a lot more fluently and it all seems just nicer in general. I found out some interesting trivia about the game, and in the process managed to plug one of my videos in my own video :D What's more is I've found the Super Hexagon EP, which I'm seriously considering downloading, even though it only contains 3 songs and the total play time of it is less than 10 minutes, the music is really, really good. I could play Beat Hazard with Super Hexagon music!
The problem now is finding a game for the next One Shots. I have plenty of games, but I don't know which would be good for just one play through. I'll need to have another think. Next Walkthrough will be that Super Meat Boy that NerdE still hasn't uploaded yet. It's been about 2 weeks. What's wrong with him?

Learning is fun
Just had a Maths exam, well, I use the term 'just' quite loosely, I actually had it 5 hours ago...WHAT!? Has the time really gone by THAT quickly? Wow...wow...wow...makes you think, doesn't it? I've only got 2 more hours here then I'm done...year one of college...finished...Well, I've got one more exam next Friday, but we have study leave on Monday. The whole first year done...in 2 hours. We come back on June 10th, then we start our second year work. So, to reiterate, the title of this post should be 'Learning WAS fun'. 2 hours...what should I do to celebrate? I've already spent some time with a friend who I haven't really talked to a lot this year, Elfman. He's gone home so I think I'll go to the canteen to see some of my other friends. Wow, 2 hours...GASP! I won't be seeing Ruse King next year! He's not staying for another year! I need to say goodbye to him...AND Meridian! She might be going to New Zealand next year. Oh, God! All these people leaving me! My life ever since year 4 has been cursed with some of my closest friends leaving so soon! This isn't a great place to be in mentally right now, seeing as I've got a lot...A LOT of Game Design work to do that I'm coming in on Monday to finish.
Well, let me be the first to say, it's been a good run. I'm not leaving this blog, oh no, I mean a good first year, I've met lots of new people, I've rekindled my friendship with some people. It's been good. I'll remember it as it was: good, successful, irreplaceable.

Help+
I downloaded Love+ just now, and yes, I also installed Hostile Waters, and there's a very interesting piece of trivia about the cinematics that I will definitely use in the episode I do of it. Anyway, I've played some Love+ but there are two problems: First the music, there is none, I get the death sound effects and jump pad sound effects, but there's no music, and I know there should be because the download included the soundtrack. Second, the visuals. I know it's in the style of REALLY old games, we're talking like Atari here, but it's really low resolution. This is the first time I'm asking someone to use the interactive comments, so please will someone answer my cry for help!
Oh God, I dunno...Happy Birthday!
Film Studies exam went well, don't really want to say too much either way, really. I need to do something else for the channel, after VVVVVV's done, I'm left with just Meat Boy and Bit.Trip (I'm not counting One Shots because I see it as a spin-off). So, I think I'm going to do Closure because that's a hoot and a half, and I'm thinking about Love+ as well, a cheapy game from my favourite online store. At some point I'll do Time Fcuk Chapter 2, that's a given, but I'll leave it for a bit because I've completed the main game. So, tonight I need to install Hostile Waters (I know, I haven't even done that yet), buy Love+ and play Closure. ONLY THEN can I go on Skype with my friends and play League.
Anyway, Happy Birthday, mum! I got her a card that says she's the 'best mummy in the world', I thought she'd find that................................................. I've just remembered I left the price sticker on it. Well, at least it wasn't one of those horribly cheap ones, it was 99p ($1.51). Yeah, it's all better, Sam, you can make up for it when you go to the garden centre with her at the weekend to buy her her gift. Yeah. Anyway, Sam, stop blogging you have Game Design work to do. But first I think I'll wait for NerdE to text me back with his location so I can say hi to him. I'm just sort of trying to type as much as I can now, without actually saying anything. Last night's dream was weird, I dreamed I broke my legs (I've actually had another dream where I broke my legs as well, but that was a massive futuristic tank thing's fault), and a woman fell from somewhere above me onto a pane of glass above me, and I saw her arms all bent and disfigured. That's all I can remember. Yeah, I have weird dreams, my dream journal was supposed to prove it, but in all the time I've written in it, I haven't had any truly weird dreams, like the one with the serial killer bus driver. That was horrible! I'm now terrified of the colour red.

Skrim!
So, Film Studies exam today. It's gonna be fun on the bun! Seriously, I think I'm gonna be fine, it's my maths exams coming up that I think the problems lie. So, last night I went on the Wii U and PS3 because I hadn't in a while and I'd forgotten how fun it was to mess up my dad's TV time with the TV remote option for the Wii U GamePad. Super Mario World is awesome on the GamePad! The controls are perfect! And I got it discounted because I owned it on the Wii Virtual Console! Yay! I've got to get Megaman at some point. Mega Man? How is it spelled? With or without the space? Oh well, Skyrim is epic. Although I didn't manage to do a lot, I started last night's play session in the Soul Cairn and I finished last night's play session in the Soul Cairn. I only played for about half an hour. I have no idea what I'm going to do tonight, more Skyrim probably, I know it's not that important but I like to have a plan, even if I'm not going to stick with it, like yesterday, yes I uploaded VVVVVV Part V, but I didn't play this Hostile Waters. Actually, apparently VVVVVV hasn't finished processing yet, I'll have to look at that when I get home. I knew I should have looked at it this morning!

привет!
It's come to my attention that most of my page views are coming from Russia! That's not weird at all! To celebrate I've learned most of the Russian Epic Rap Battle of History. Unfortunately I don't know all of Rasputin's bits or some of Lenin's bits, but I will eventually, it could be my favourite one.
Anyway, today I had my first exam for these two weeks, Media Studies. The extract question wasn't bad, but it was the one area that our teacher told us not to study. That kinda could have gone better than it should have. But then I completely romped the essay question. I'm looking forward to getting a solid B. That's literally everything that's happened today apart from my brother going to Paris for 4 days, but that's his news not mine. I hope he brings me back a present. Oh yeah, I've decided tomorrow I'm going to upload my VVVVVV whether NerdE's uploaded my Super Meat Boy or not, and after some revision for my Film Studies exam on Wednesday I'll record this new Hostile Waters thing, I'll play a bit then decide whether it should be a One Shot or not. Also, we're scrapping the Pokemon X and Y NDTY, instead we're going to re-imagine it, I'm doing Nintendo games, NerdE's doing everything else, we're thinking about doing Batman: Arkham Origins.
