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.

Hurt...Hurt...

Arms...Pain...Never again...

Hurray! No more apologies!

Yup, I've decided to stop apologising whenever I miss a day doing this. Instead I'll do it whenever something happens to me, and you know what? I learnt something today. Me and NerdE went to Great Yarmouth to pick up our wigs for Comic-Con. My mum dropped us off there, and the road the shop is on is (in the Summer months) always filled with various cheapy shops and a few stalls. One of them was a pretty average carnival game stand. The man running it offered us each a ticket for a free go. Now, I'm not blaming NerdE for what happened next, but if I had been on my own, I would have just said "no, thanks" and sailed right past him. Anyway, NerdE said, before I said "no thanks", "yeah, alright then". So we had a go on this game. We had these hollowed out blocks of wood, imagine a cuboid with an opposite pair of longer sides missing. The game was to place 9 Ping-Pong balls into the wooden holder, then launch them forwards. The balls then fell into differently numbered slots. The numbers were then added up, and you would find that number on a grid. The numbers on the grid were 5 different colours: Red, Blue, Green, Yellow and Black. Red means instant win, you could either chose one of the big cuddly toys or £50 cash ($76.77), Blue means next game free, yellow and green mean lose, and black adds a £25 bonus ($38.39), but the bonus can only be applied if you go on to win. And there's a limit to the number of bonuses, you can get anything up to £200 ($307.08). Now, that's the game and I won't spare the details, but basically it ended with us needing a 33, a blue number or a red number to win £300 ($460.62) (that's the maximum bonus plus the £50 ($76.77) prizes), we could definitely have won it, but then we ran out of money. We only just had enough left over for the wigs and I had to borrow some money off my brother for lunch. We won't be returning there again... and my lesson today is that I will never do anything like that again, I spent about £60 ($92.12) trying to win that massive prize, and what did it get me? Lots of regret. I earned all of that money doing my gardening jobs and such, in case I haven't mentioned it before, that's my main source of income. Anyway, I don't want a gambling problem when I'm older, the odds are grotesquely in favour of the owners of the game/casino... not only that but it's a stupid thing to get into anyway, there's so much better stuff I could be doing with my time. Which reminds me, in the marvelous tradition of Sheep, I bought a game for 10p today (15c)! It's called Hostile Waters and I have no idea what to do in it! So that'll be fun to play! Also, the wig means I'm now set for Comic-Con! Bring on 25th May!

Wow, another apology?

Nope. I don't apologise. I didn't post yesterday because I was doing another VVVVVV. Good god that game's fun, and I really like this episode I've just done. The day after NerdE uploads my newest Super Meat Boy, I will bring to the world the glory of Episode V of VVVVVV. There's only a couple of episodes of it left before I've completed the game, which saddens me, and means I need to find something else to play. I want it to be Portal, but that might be a bit too mainstream. I play indie games. I think Closure could be a good choice. Or LIMBO's a nice short game, maybe I'll do that. MORE THOUGHT IS REQUIRED!!! I'll record the next One Shots tonight, I'd better prepare myself for some really intense gameplay of Super Hexagon. I'm not really looking forward to it. I'm so bad at it. But I have completed the first level, so that's 1/6 right? My cousin's completed the whole thing. HOW!?!?!? It's the hardest thing I've ever seen!

Sorry

I didn't do anything yesterday. I forgot. Oh well, let's move on. I can't remember anything happening yesterday anyway. But a nice lot of stuff happened today. Me and NerdE on the bus to college were making fun of our friend Elfman's hair. It looks like a pastry, it really does. It would look at home on a shelf next to some croissants in a quaint french bakery. If he went to Africa, not only would they think he's carrying some food on his head to bring back to his family, but they would try to eat it themselves. Was that offensive? I didn't mean it to be...sorry.
NerdE went home at lunch...AGAIN...I'm worried for that boy, he's such a hypochondriac, he's dangerously hypochondriac...there was NOTHING wrong with him, he just didn't want to go to his Environmental Science lesson. In case you didn't pick up from the start of this paragraph: he goes home at lunch 'ill' a lot.
On the bus home I sat with Elfman and his annoying little friend who I shall call...Tyrone. It was fine at first, Tyrone kept asking us 'would you rather...?' and 'what would you do if...?' questions. It was funny at first until he put the plastic bag on my head. He didn't let me take it off, but he did give me eye and mouth holes. He then tried to give me deodorant burns, but it didn't work because he was doing it on my legs and I was wearing jeans. So instead on my arm he gave me three 'inhaler' burns with his asthma inhaler, you can guess he pushed the mouth end hard into my arm and kept pushing the button. They're still there, quite red and swollen...oh, and Elfman wrote the infamous Chinese Proverb 'I AM HAPPY COCK' on my hand.
All was not lost, however, as when I got home, my jacket had arrived..yay...and it actually fits! YAY! Now I just need my wig and Comic-Con, here we come!

Sheep!

It was Bank Holiday Monday today in the UK, so we got the day off! Woo! So, I went to NerdE's and made a new Super Meat Boy video. It was actually quite fun, normally I'm worried because I have no idea what I'm going to do, but today was good. We played some Magic: The Gathering, I'm now fully getting to grips with my Simic deck, he's quite good at showing me the ropes there. I can see Magic as being something that I could really get into. But the highlight of the day was definitely a new game that NerdE's starting to play on his channel: SHEEP. He bought it ages ago for just 15p (that's 23c) but he only started playing it today. It's an amazing game, I highly recommend watching the video when he upload it just to have a look at the game, because it seems like it could be a really difficult game to find, and as far as I'm aware, there aren't any other people on YouTube who play it. So definitely have a look.

LEGO!

So today we went to Southwold, it's a seaside town that we live about 35 miles away from. For some reason my brother wanted to go there for his birthday day out. It's a very upper class place, very expensive goods for sale, lots of stuff that no one wants anymore that's had a fresh coat of matte paint and being sold as 'vintage'. It's been about 2 or 3 years since I last went. They have a great pier, with an attraction called the 'Under the Pier Show' which has a lot of machines (kind of like arcade machines) which have all been made by one man in his shed, and they're all different and really clever. There's one like a photo booth which takes pictures of different emotions, there's one which puts you into the eyes of a fly by using lots of mirrors, and there's a brilliant one where you use a zimmer frame to walk across a busy road to get to the bingo. That was fun, like usual, but not as fun as what happened when we went to the shops. When we went to Southwold when I was younger, we'd always go to the Post Office, because it's quite a big Post Office that sells lots of toys and things, but there was one item in particular this time. I was looking at the LEGO, and noticed a new breed of LEGO set: Marvel Super Heroes. Now, I knew a new LEGO Marvel game was on the way, but I had no idea they would release sets based on Marvel. BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE! It was a LEGO Spider-Man set, and on the side I noticed...right there in aerial combat with Beetle..Nova. You know what this means? Nova HAS TO BE in the game coming up...haha...
