Crazy Craft by Joshua

6/22/2014

0 Comments

 
This is about the time I played crazy craft for the first time. One day I was board so I went on sky’s channel on YouTube and saw “Crazy Craft Episode 1!” I watched it and I’m like I need this in my life.

I got on Minecraft forge (the minecraft mod pack downloader) and got the mod pack. It finally loaded about 3 hours later I got a bunch of stuff and started to kill bosses.

Then came BIGBIRTHA then I said “wait!..i can duel wield that!!!”. Then I press R then BABABABABABABAAAAAAAA!!! I killed every boss in one hit then I killed the king! I couldn’t believe I won, and that was the time I played Crazy craft.

How Do Video Games Work by Josh

How do video games work? Well I’ll tell you. For starters there’s actually nothing on the TV. You know that flash in the middle of your TV? That’s the part that makes you think there’s something on the screen. It’s all just an illusion created by that flash of light. When someone codes a game there’s a code that not many people know about that creates that flash. Depending on the mother board in beaded in the game disk/chip will create the illusion of a specific code in color to create a living playable movie.

Now moving on. Some video games are appealing to five year olds. Others twenty five year olds. Because of the perfect balance of the elements of a great story adventure, danger, colorful and daring characters and a plot. Video game makers do their best to put players inside the game, an attempt to give them the most intense and entertaining experience. So how do these creative, technically skilled folks do this?

Picture
Video game makers also turn to video game software, which is specially designed to facilitate the vast amount of computer software code needed to bring a game to life. Home video game systems, also known as consoles, are a popular form of entertainment. In 2000, Sony estimated that one out of every four households in the United States had a Sony PlayStation. Since then the numbers have only increased, with systems like the Nintendo Wii luring the Holy Grail of the video game market. 

But every great thing one day dies. Sometimes its hackers that kills. It sometimes it’s just that games time to die. Like the blue line of death on a ps4.Or the three red rings of death on an Xbox 360. Or the game just doesn’t want to work.  

Now remember don’t get to attached to your game cause there’s always a hacker out there.

School Should be Optional Essay by Joshua

12/8/2013

0 Comments

 
People love school…then they walk in.

At least 10% of children across the globe fake injury’s or actually hurt themselves to get out of school burned throats from gulping the parents coffee when  they’re not looking, broken bones from “falling” of slides knocking themselves out with something. Why have all this pain continue? Give kids a choice to go to school.

School can (and will) cause self esteem disorder such as bullying. Your kid could come home in a full body cast for all you know. Home is much safer much safer… Timmy was at his locker and Jared started taunting Timmy so I got a teacher. As I watched I could almost feel Timmy about to cry. My stomach hurt sooo bad L. Do you want your kid to experience that? Really?!

School wastes money for the community school have been wasting money that the community gave them… and they bought PLANTS. Also it made the outside of the school nice. Instead of the inside learning.

In conclusion I believe school should be a choice for the reasons listed above.

Video Games by Josh

11/8/2013

This is about the best day ever…….When I found out about video games, I was four years old. My brother put down his DS in the living room then walked out. I got off the couch. I walked over to it. He was playing Spyro. I saw vivid yellow, green, and  blue pretty lights. I looked at the screen then I somehow knew all of the controls. Then as soon as I beat the game it was like time stopped. I saw my life of video games on the screen. It was amazing!!!

 Then as I got older I didn’t even need the control booklet. I got a new game. the control booklet was in my trash about three minutes later. Then I’m locked in my room two seconds later. Whatever game it was I’d space out in the world of that game two minutes later. I’d be out cold in that game. Nothing mattered Playing games gave me hand eye coordination the minute I started playing. If someone turns on a console, gives me a controller, and puts in a new game, *fewsh* I’m in the game instantly and it’s really hard to come out.

As I walked down the beach the mixtures of cold&warm sand in my feet the sand was the softest thing I ever touched. The wave rolled onto shore the cooling felling of it was quite pleasant. As I walked I saw the vivid sun setting as I walked down the beach. I saw the seagulls flying around scavenging for food.   Then all of a sodden the beach got quite the seagulls fled the waves stopped it got quite.  BOOM! I heard the waves.

The bus pulled up to the school. The motor stopped. The door opened then I saw in big bold letters MJJA School of Awesomeness. I thought this was an ordinary school. This was no ordinary school!  This was the best school ever!  There was a pool a water slide and an arcade.  I stepped out of the bus. Into a huge building I got checked in then I asked the person at the front counter where do I go? Anywhere you want but you have to go to at least one class every day. Then they gave me a list of rules then I walked and read the rules I didn’t know where to go so I grabbed a map  then I found were I had to go up, up, down, left, right, left, right got it!
