Hi

I thought I would post on my blog again, because I haven't in such a long time. So, hi. I am very bored right now so I will try to think of as many things as possible to say. First, I have a webcomic for you to check out it is called homestuck and it is at mspaintadventures.com. It will blow your mind! It is a tad inappropriate sometimes and has swearing and blood, but it is funny and awesome. You have t0 get past the first 100 comics to get to the awesome, but there are over 5560 pages so far. It can update five times a day though so you won't be waiting very long for an update. have fun with that. I also have metal gear solid 3, so yey! n..n

oh, nyan.cat.
Yes that is a website.

something, something something.

Yay, another blog entry! I should do this more often!
I have a camporee this weekend, it is called the camp-ARR-ee. Imma guess it's pirate themed, but I don't know. It takes place at the Double V scout ranch, nice place, but it won't be getting cold there for ANY reason... save for nuclear winter. I've been there one time before at another camporee called Xtremoree, that was one year ago. Double V is a very sunny place, but the forecast says we'll be getting rain, so i'm packing my rain gear. We now have 5 eagle scouts in our troop, soon to be 6, unfortunately I am not one of them, but I swear, I will be! I may not update much and I am sorry about that, but i have been busy with school and scouts lately, plus saving up for a PS2. I miss some of my PS2 games like Ratchet & Clank, and I also have Metal Gear Solid 3. Unfortunately, we do not have a PS3 that will play PS2 games, so, you know. After that I'm gonna get Metal Gear Solid 2, then i shall have the whole Metal Gear Solid series... until they release Rising, that is.


TL;DR
going camping, buying PS2, working hard at scouts, been working hard in general.

More Stuff.

Have you ever found a game that you really loved, and then found out later that it was the second in a series? If so, you probably wanted to get the first game in the series so you could find out what the back-story was. This just happened to me. We got Oblivion for the PS3 and found out that it was the fourth in the "Elder Scrolls" series. You would think we'd have noticed, being that it is "Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion" but we overlooked it. After playing the game for a while, I got curious of what the third game in the series was like, being that the first (Arena) is now freeware and the second is nowhere to be found, so, since I had some birthday money, I bought "Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind", played it, and now I just can't get enough of it. I am amazed at the amount of work it must have taken to make that game. It is a "free-form" type RPG(Role Playing Game), meaning that you can make almost any action, although limited in some ways. You can steal from the stores if you want to, but the guards -do not- like this and -will- arrest you for it. The guards are another nice little bit about Morrowind, unlike in other games, the guards don't magically know that you stole something, of course, if one catches you in the act, or if you are reported to the guards, they will arrest you on sight, depending on how much of a bounty you have on your head. if your bounty is one gold, they generally won't arrest you unless you talk to them, but if it is 200 gold, they'll chase you and arrest you. When you're arrested, you have three choices: pay your fines (pay off the amount of bounty you have), go to jail(reduces your statistics), or resist arrest (wich is generally a bad idea, being that the guards are well trained). In order to fully review this game, I would need a lot more time than I have, but it is pretty good.



TL;DR
"Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind" Is a fantastic game, and so is Oblivion.

School

Last week, I started my year of school. That is pretty much all I have to say, but I'll keep going anyways. Before that point, on my birthday, I got "Oblivion" for the PS3, and it is AWESOME‼ On other news, I am back on Facebook, although I am not always online. Also, blogging has been made, by my Mom, a school assignment, which means I will be blogging more often. -_- Unfortunately for me.

End of line.

Grammar

A question, have you ever noticed that bad grammar gets easier to find as a community gets larger? We have gotten to the point at which some bad grammar and misuse of words is normal, commonplace, even. My thought is: GET A FREAKING DICTIONARY PEOPLE! What's that? You don't have one? DO YOU LIVE IN THE MIDDLE AGES?! Here, take this and this! I just remembered, you'll need this.




You do not even need any skill, you just need a dictionary, Rick Astley, and all the troll's base... actually, you only need the dictionary, the other two are just pranks... that'll teach you to click links before checking where they go! If you did check, and didn't fall for them, great jaerb! mehehehehehe!

and as for the tags, a "Grammar Nazi" is somebody who really hates bad grammar, like ME!
so pick up a dictionary, and join us, we have cookies and pancakes! and maple syrup, butter and milk!

wait... it's RETIRED?

Yesterday, I earned a badge called the "pathfinder" merit badge in scouts. It was pretty easy to do, and fun. The awesome thing about this merit badge in particular is that it was retired in the '50s! They allowed us to get this badge this year alone because it is the 100 year anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America. Of course, it's not like I knew this until after I earned it. Being as easily distracted as I am, I was zoned out while the scoutmaster was talking, but still heard the important stuff. After i had finished earning it, the scoutmaster gave a speech about it, which was rather interesting. While listening he mentioned that it was retired... funny what you miss when you don't listen. I now have a retired merit badge! You won't be able to get it next year, this was one of the only chances, and i GOT IT! On other news, pancakes taste good and waffles are overrated.

stupidity !rant warning!

You know those statistics that the news papers have sometimes? Where they tell you a few percentages of, say, number of children killed by bats every second(this did not actually happen), then you start thinking "hmm... bats really are dangerous". It makes sense, everyone can be scared by statistics and percentages. Also, think of this, at least 50% of all people on the internet are stupid, and I know you are now thinking "I don't see that much stupid on [insert favorite blog/web-forum here]", and it makes you wonder, "where does all the stupid go?", the answer: youtube.com comment boards. On web-forums, you can find the occasional stupid person/egotist/jerk, on the youtube.com comment boards, they are everywhere, the grammar and spelling are horrible and tend to look something like this.... well, actually, I probably shouldn't post a picture of it... just search for a popular youtube video and read the comments... you'll then understand. Now that you understand that, you have to remember, that is *JUST* the internet, there is at least twice as much stupidity in real life, we have idiots voting for our representatives. We must be doing something wrong. what happened to umm, I dunno, education?! Sure, our school system works for 50% or so, and everyone can do the important parts of math, but some people made this! AND SOME PEOPLE BUY IT! My thought is that if we want this world to move forward, we should start with better education. We have morons, we have idiots and, oh yeah! the occasional smart person! So if there is any life out on any other planet, and they have the technology to travel long distances through space, I really can't blame them for not making contact with humanity. Really, I have so much more that I could keep going on about for ever, and ever, but you've probably stopped reading at this point so...


TL;DR people are stupid, and there are only a few of us who have actually noticed this. Why do people have to be stupid?
