Essay Writing

Too many times I have no time because of essays that need to be written for humanities or language arts. These usually involve some overly-complex way of explaining a simple concept to get the best possible mark. Thus, you spend too much time trying to add in everything you possibly could. Which reminds me too much of how writing often bores me. But usually this is because I have no particular interest in the current topic that we need to write upon. Essays needs to be more free without word caps or word minimums, as long as you can express your opinion accurately and strongly you can thus make an argument over anything.

My first attempt at creating digital art. I tried to use my knowledge of sketching and pixeling that I have acquired to help me better understand this field. Without further ado i present to you my handiwork: (P.S there's a mouse somewhere, I wonder if you can find it.

Trisis 2 Development Details

The Trisis 2 Concept, based on the original game which I also have created. Of course, I will upload the first kind of draft or rough game I developed in my spare time on Game Maker 8.0.

Let's begin with the concept itself. Trisis is an arcade style top down shooter. It involves two kinds of defenses, basic turrets and special turrets. The default turrets are turrets you will have in place no matter what. However, the special turrets are chosen by you at the beginning of the game. Whichever turret you choose dictates your play style. Two default turrets are placed on either side of the special turret this forms your defense line. The goal of the game is to defend your base from waves on enemies. Any enemies that fly over your defense line will remove health from your base. When your base loses all it's health you lose.

Invisible Children 'Conspiracy'

After the huge blowout on attention about the KONY 2012 campaign, a lot of people have delved deeper into the subject. It's a rather good thing that they took the time to do so. Invisible Children seem to be slightly single minded or misled. The thing is, they pretty much only focus their attention on Joseph Kony. However, the armies they support for military intervention to arrest Joseph Kony also have histories or raping and pillaging as well as having child soldiers. While they will most definitely have a good heart I suppose. Not only should they be trying to rid the world of Joseph Kony, but along with all armies with child soldiers. Here's a video of one of the many people who have found evidence against supporting KONY 2012:

KONY 2012

People need to know this, and get involved. If you thought the video was too long then here I'll make it short. Joseph Kony is the leader of the L.R.A (Lord's Resistance Army). It's not the fact that he's the leader of a rebel group that makes him so important, it's the fact that he kidnaps children and forces them to become soldiers. Girls he kidnaps become sex slaves. The crimes against humanity he has committed needs to be stopped. KONY must be arrested and it must happen NOW. The goal of the project is to make his as famous as possible or, infamous as possible. Build up a reputation so large of being the worst man alive that he will gather attention from all the major powers of the world. And hopefully be found and arrested. What is appalling is that he avoided attention from us for 20+ years.

The United States of America has responded by sending 100 military advisers to advise the Ugandan army and track down the monster that is Kony. Before this video only 2% of the world knew who Kony was, this has to be changed, our voices must be heard. We need to demand that the powers of the world help stop Kony for his crimes against humanity. This isn't just about Uganda, its about the world. What we're doing is changing history.

The website found here will give information about pledging to fight Kony and for peace. Along with donations and ways to contact the people who will influence the world. 20 culture leaders, and 12 powers. This cannot go on for much longer. We need to stop him, NOW.

Vote, Pledge and Donate for Peace

Nostalgia: Pokemon

During my time growing up in elementary, my generation if you will allow, had gone through many, I suppose phases. Beyblades, yugioh, Bdaman, etc... just to name a few. But there was one nostalgia topic that many of us know and probably still love. Pokemon.

If somehow you do not pokemon is, pokemon is mythical creatures that exist in a mythical world. People called pokemon trainers capture and train pokemon to battle another pokemon or compete in contests. Which test how you can exploit the beauty of pokemon. That's a nice little summary I suppose, otherwise read Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pokemon.

Like any good nostalgic toy or game or character there is an anime associated with the topic, for lack of a better term. All of the previous things mentioned also had their own animes. The thing that the pokemon universe had going with it was that it's main character stayed it's main character. In yugioh the main character, Yugi, changed every new season. There always seemed to be a kind of conspiracy however, universally based around how Ash never seemed to be recognized even though he saved worlds and beaten the best in another region he was regarded as a new trainer in every new region he visited. The simplicity of the main character always intrigued me as a child. The simple desire to just become the very best pokemon trainer. A task which had a simple meaning but a difficult task to accomplish.

Now what good universe doesn't have it's own series of games? One thing about pokemon games is that they were done well a lot of the other universes had relatively poor games. They were simple and yet had puzzles and let you liver life as a pokemon trainer. As a kid that was just something I'd opt to be. They consisted of a basic plot, of which the main goal is still to become the very best. However, there are still villains that need to be cleansed from the world. As a result the game is an addicting rpg style game. Having the ability to capture pokemon and use them in battle always had a quirk in it. It's like playing any old mmorpg or rpg, and wishing anything could be your pet. The game revolves around random encounters with certain areas, such that trainers could choose to avoid them. Of course, these areas which are usually referred to as tall grass, provide an obstacle in some cases. Sometimes you can walk through the entire bush without encountering anything, while others you'll encounter several. It all depends on how you play. Traditionally people would level up their party of pokemon rather than having a single bruiser to take on an entire enemy team. However, many people do focus on their starter as it is simply easier to manage that way.

Of course, don't tell me that when you were a kid you didn't have that internal longing to want pokemon to be a real thing.

I just want to talk a little bit of the sense of the above statement. What I'm getting at is the fact that society would be in utter shambles if pokemon existed. Crimes would be easier to execute and pokemon can kill people. All those times charmander burned Ash's face should have been death. I understand it's a cartoon but that longing cannot be justified which I'm sad to admit.
