Prison I mean school

Hey people's. Today I'm gonna talk about school. Here it goes.

Okay so it's the first week of school. Blah. It's back to the textbooks made out of bricks, teachers from the black lagoon, and homework piled on top of my chores. At least I get to see my friends right? Wrong. I have a total of 1 friend in my homeroom class ugh.

I go to school at north middle school.


I'm a 7th grader now so I get to be in the same building with the 8th graders some of which are ogres who have to shave. Most of my teachers are nice especially my homeroom teacher Mr. Wright. So I'm having a little fun. But lunch is pretty bad because the lines so long there's only about 5 minutes to eat you're mystery meat.

I've got Social Studies, Math, Strings, Reading, SPL, lunch, Advisory, English, Gym, and Science in that order. It's nice having harder subjects in the morning and science and gym to end my day. My sister is also In the 6 grade so she gets on my bus and wakes up the same time now. Luckily we are both to tired to fight in the mornings. We don't see each other much though because I'm not allowed in the 6th grade hallways.

So there's the rundown on my school. Bye!

Infinity Blade

Hey people's. Today I'm doing another blog on my favorite game series called Infinity Blade. Today is on the final update for Infinity Blade 2 and Infinity Blade Dungeons.



Here it goes! So the update for Infinity Blade 2 is titled Sky Cages. The name comes into play because there are cages at the top of the tower visible from the outside. After you beat Thane on your first rebirth then on your second, you can go up the stairs to the top of the tower. So then you have the option of opening a locked door with a large key. Of course, large keys cost 300,000 so you probably won't get in for a while anyway because you have to build up all that money. There are 3 cages with 3 enemies that need powerful weapons to open.


I don't want to spoil anything, but if someone asks you to spare his life, do it. He will give you a powerful weapon. But don't do it twice because it will mess up your game. There's also a really powerful guy named Ryth that comes to fight you if you have a Solar Trans weapon and have beaten MX Goliath. The Solar Trans energy weapons is just a long way of saying light saber. They are weak but they multiply a gems power by 10 which would make it the most powerful weapon in the game.


There is one for each class: heavy, light, and duel. I'm really excited about Infinity Blade Dungeons. It's not in the same format as Infinity Blade though. It's a dungeon crawler with different graphics. It looks fun though. I've heard that its only for iPad 3 and 4. Is that true?









So there's the rundown on the Infinity Blade 2 and Dungeons. Hope you get it. Bye!

A week with Mario

Hey people's. Today I'm blogging on my week at Mario's house. Here it goes.

One of the most fun things was going to a pinball session at some place with Mario. They had a lot of cool machines. My favorite was Pinbot because you had to hit the top till a wall came down and revealed his eyes. If you got a ball in both his eyes you got multiball.


That was Mario's favorite too. They were also an Adam's Family one, a Monster Mash one, and one called Attack from Mars that were really cool. Mario has a hulk pinball machine in his basement.


His highscore was around 400,000. Mine was around 100,000. Mario taught me things though, so I'm getting better.

Sophia liked to play with me too. A few days in and she was operating my itouch. She would get in her plastic tricycle and I would push her. She pointed and said Aaaaada to where she wanted to go in the house. One time I was teaching her animal sounds and taught her a horse says neigh. She pointed to her stuffed horse and said Nnnnnnaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakkkkkk!!!!!! It was the scariest horse ever.

At Mario's house I saw Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, the sequel, Road Warrior, Dude Where's my Car, and Highlander.


My favorites were Road warrior and Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. You can expect some reviews of them later. Did you know they are gonna make a Highlander reboot with Ryan Reynolds? Rebecca made some really good food too, especially the chicken sandwiches.

I had a lot of fun at Mario's house. And learned that felbicarb means junk in the Battlestar Gallatica language. Bye!

Grammy and gramps

Hi people's. Today I'm writing a blog on my week long trip to Grammy and Gramps. Here we go.



So I went to my Grandparent's house for a week. And yes, of course I had chores. Throughout the week I had to write a report on Martin Luther King Jr. We went to Cunningham falls too. Gramps and I go to a park too.



When gramps and I go to the park we go to Mr wizard's park. We call it that because Mr wizard who is a television guy went there. We play football, Bad mitten, frisbee and sometimes we play in the playground. We take water breaks too. Afterwards sometimes we go for ice cream. Grammy, Gramps, and I went to Cunningham Falls. It was really fun we explored the trail in the woods and explored the falls.



I saw Madagascar 3, Brave, and Spider-man. Madagascar 3 was ok. Brave was pretty good and it was funny. But Spider-man was the best. I saw that a second time. I got 2 books and a Nerf gun. The books were called Tunnels and Wereworld. The Nerf gun I got was the elite Rampage! It's my first N strike elite gun and is my primary now in Nerf wars replacing the vortex Nitron.



So it was really fun spending time with my grandparents. Also my dad bought me the game Dark knight Rises so expect a rundown on that soon. Bye!



Sorry for no pictures Gramps we were having tech problems.

Batman


Hey peoples. Today I'm gonna talk about batman. Here it goes.



My new screensaver.

Ok so on Thursday me, Larry, my dad, and Mario went to a Batman marathon! It had Batman Begins, the Dark Knight, and the Dark Knight Rises. It started around 6:30 and ended 3 in the morning. The Dark Knight and the Dark Knight Rises were my favorite. I'm not sure why i didn't like Batman Begins. My favorite scene was the car chase when he had to save rachel.



The Dark Knight was awesome. I really liked how the Joker wasn't to cartoonish and he was realistic with him just wearing makeup and stuff. One of my friends had nightmares about him once. There was a lot of cool scenes but I liked the one when he used sonar from peoples cellphones to fight the Jokers henchmen. I really didn't expect Harvey Dent to show up either. when I heard his name I hit my dad till he looked at me and made this face.


I really loved the motorcycle Batman used as well. It was unique too because most movies stay low go up to the climax and come down slowly. Dark Knight is a roller coaster. I liked how they included Scarecrow in all three movies too. He's a great actor.


Now for Dark Knight Rises I know many of you haven't seen it yet so I will try not to spoil it. It seems like Joker probably would of been the better choice for the climatic last movie. But they really did it up in a nice way.



(spoilers) There's one character that I really liked too that was a detective that happened to have Robin as his middle name. It's cool how he finds the batcave at the end too. It had a reference to the comics also because there's one part where Bane breaks Batman's back. Which I remember was a cover.



Okay you're good now. They also gave the bad guys more believable powers too. Like they didn't use Poison Ivy who can grow plants. I really liked those movies. Bye!

Nerf elite

Hey peoples. Today I'm gonna talk about the new Nerf guns coming out. Here it goes.

Okay so Nerf is making a new series of Nerf guns. It is separate from the N Strike, Vortex, and Dart Tag series.








It's called N Strike Elite.


It's some N Strike guns that have been upgraded, reshelled and repainted. It's also grey, black, and blue instead of the traditional N Strike orange yellow and black. There's the Retaliator a Recon upgrade, the Rampage a Raider upgrade, the Stockade a Barricade upgrade, and a Firestrike a Nitefinder upgrade. There is also supposed to be a Jolt Elite but I haven't seen a reliable picture and I don't think there gonna make one because the Jolt is just single shot pistol that fits in your pocket.


Everybody's excited about the Firestrike because the Nightfinder was so cool. Lastly is the new Vortex Pyragon and the Hail Fire.

The Retaliator is the same as the Recon except its got a new stock, a repaint, and better internals that make it shoot up to seventy five feet. The Retaliator is basically a pistol with a stock and barrel extension. Unfortunately the barrel extension doesn't help ranges from reviews I've read and the clip holds 12 Elite darts. For me a 6 out of 10.


Retaliator




Recon

The rampage is a raider with once again a repaint, better internals for Max ranges, and a 24 dart drum instead of a 35 dart drum. I'm not sure how that last parts a upgrade but I hope it jams less frequently then the raider. My raider I got for Christmas fired 1 dart and broke. :( the Rampage you hold with too hands one on the handle and one on the loading handle the darts are held in the drum on the side. For me a 7 out of 10.


Rampage



Raider



From left too right
Alpha trooper 18 darts
Rampage 24 darts
Raider 35 darts

The Stockade has a repaint, better internals, and a stock that holds 10 darts so the blaster has 20 in total. The Stockade is a automatic pistol with a stock. For me a 8 out of 10.


Stockade



Barricade

I would review the Firestrike but I don't have enough information on it.



Only pic of the Firestrike it's supposed to come out in 2013.



Nitefinder simple and powerful.

The Hailfire is the biggest blaster of the year. It's a blaster with rotating ammo rack that can hold 8 clips of ammo. If you have 8 18 dart clips that's 144 dart capacity, the largest ever! Its automatic too.


Hailfire

Lastly there's the Vortex Pyragon that is like a Raider with a 40 disc drum it can slam fire too. Its also red and white instead of the traditional green and black Vortex blasters. Slam fire is when you hold the trigger down and pull the loading handle back and forth repeatedly.


Now for the Elite darts. They carry the same blue color scheme as the Elite series and are supposed to go farther. They differ from regular Whistler darts because their a bit longer, made of better foam, and have a better tip.



So that's it on the latest Nerf weaponry. The Retaliator and Rampage are the only ones in stores now but the Stockade is available for preorder in the UK. I don't have any of these guns though so for a review I would look somewhere else.
Bye!

The Beasts of Tarzan

Hi. Today I'm blogging on Tarzan. Here it goes.






So I'm reading the third old Tarzan book. It's called Beast of Tarzan. I haven't read the Tarzan books in a while so I was a bit surprised when it was in the third person. Are the other books like this? I don't remember reading a third person book in a long time.


It's one of the lesser known Tarzan books. Its starts out with Tarzan's son being stolen by Nicholas Rockoff who escaped from jail. Rockoff was the enemy in the second book too. Then Tarzan is marooned on a jungle island and Jane and the baby escape from the ship. that's where I am now. I have fond memories of Tarzan from when I was younger.



From the Disney movies and tv shows and when my dad showed us a old Tarzan View Master. Those are the things that you look at pictures that tell a story in a camera thing. I only remember one picture where Tarzan was on a hill wrestling a huge brown ape. The sky was red and lightning flashed behind them. I liked that.








The two above may have been from the View Master.

So Tarzan is a great character. Along with Warlord of Mars of course. Bye!
