Cat Ninja and other

I’ll talk about some other stuff before the main event: Cat Ninja

Pumped for Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up. With Joseph going on his mission as of the 16th, there will be even less board gaming to go around. That is of the limited quantity of it anyway. We’ve been getting into Super Smash 4, improving our skills and what not. I’ve been doing pretty good for myself, and would go as far as to say that I’m the best out of the four of us (Thomas, Ben, Joseph and I). My main right now being Ness, although I do play with Corrin and Mega Man just as frequently.

Anyway, back to the board gaming thing. I’m excited to get back to playing some. Haven’t really played much of anything as of late. A couple of Dominion games here and there, but that’s basically the extent of it. Want to play any game that deals with resources, not sure why. Top of my list being Terra Mystica and Agricola. Want to play Somerset at Christmas too, since that deals with resources.

Anyway, Cat Ninja continues to be the best game in the world. My friend Comptyn and I kinda started a trend. I swear everywhere I look there’s someone playing Cat Ninja. At one point in my dad’s class (sorry dad) there were up to 7 people playing it at once.

To my left, right now four people are playing it (I’m in A.P. English right now, it’s a work day but I’m writing parts of this instead).

Anyway (I feel as if I use the word anyway a lot, guess I’m not one much for variety), the point of me bringing up Cat Ninja is to bring up the fact that I hold one of the World Records now (specifically the one where glitches aren’t allowed).

Finished it in 5 minutes and 43 seconds. The previous record being 6 minutes and 20 seconds (it might have been more than that, I don’t remember). (Note: speedrun.com has not approved this record yet, but has approved the one I'm about to talk about)
I also now have the World Record for the game with glitches, getting 5 minutes and 34 seconds with the previous record being 5 minutes and 39 seconds. The previous World Record holder, however, said he would get back into playing the game so he can get it back.

Him, myself, and the guy who started speed-running Cat Ninja originally, now have a discord group chat where we talk about the game. We talk about glitches, how we got into the game and other random stuff. It seems like we'll all be fighting for the World Record in coming months.
Exciting times.

Election Picture New Hampshire

Saw this when looking at the votes for the election. Took a snip-shot of it before the vote number changed.

And they say your vote doesn't count :P

Chromebooks

We got Chromebooks for school the other week. I think they’ve been useful/nice to have thus far, but I don’t think the general consensus of the students is positive.

In classes when the teacher asks us to use paper/pencil for the notes or sponge or whatever, people aren’t happy. Why have chromebooks if we’re barely going to use them?

“Well it is only the second day since we got them.” I say in my head, “The teachers aren’t fully adjusted to them and are still testing the waters and seeing how they can cooperate them into each of their classes.”

Well, anyway, I’ve been using mine a lot. It’s really nice to have, basically, a working laptop around. The other laptop that I use, as I have mentioned in previous posts, has distorted colors and buttons that don’t do what they’re supposed to.

But, it isn’t quite like a fully functioning laptop. There are many things blocked by the school, so I still have to use other devices to get the entirety of the internets. Can’t go on Facebook (because “Website contains prohibited Friendship content.” (cause friends aren’t allowed anymore, apparently)) or any social media for that matter. Also can’t get onto brandonsanderson.com or boardgamegeek.com. I also can’t sign into any email that isn’t @fallongreeenwave.com, which means I can’t sign into my regular email or into my mom’s email (which means I can’t make new blog posts). I’m actually typing this on a google docs on my chromebook, and then I’m going to transfer it to my blog from a different computer. However, I can get onto nedroid.com, xkcd.com and iwastesomuchtime.com, which is a plus.

You can also get onto youtube, so I watch videos from my chromebook now. Some anime websites are up too, so I can watch anime also.

You can also play games from unblocked sources. Right now I’ve been playing a lot of cat ninja, getting better and faster at beating the game.

Also, I’m 16 now. Guess dating’s a thing? Got a phone also.
