Story Thing 5

The rear command deck was filled with panicked voices. Wright yelled for everybody to calm down, but no one listened. Ethan Merrick, our main engineer slipped through the crowd and whispered something to Wright, just before disappearing back into the engine room. This was rather strange as the engineers never really worked in the engine room, they just stomped around the ship and yelled at people. Wright managed to get everybody to stay quiet, and explained that there was a slight engine failure, which would be fixed immediately. He said this with a worried voice, I knew something was wrong.

I need some help. I am trying to buy a new computer, but I am having a lot of trouble. I want it to be able to process good graphics, but I also need it to run programs like Word and PowerPoint for schoolwork. I don’t want to pass a budget of one thousand. I’ve heard different things from al lot of people, and I don’t know who to listen to. Please leave a comment below and tell me why you suggested it.

P.S. Don’t even think about suggesting a Mac!

There are so many gaming franchises out there that are overrated. Do I really have to tell you them? Everyone knows them. Call of Duty, Assassin’s Creed and Battlefield are pretty much all people play these days. I’m here to tell you to branch out again*. Here are some games that I am excited to get. See how many of them you know: Starbound, Sir, You are Being Hunted, Stardew Valley. You’ve never heard of any off them, have you? There are so many games out there that are amazing. Take a break from the big names for a while and try something new!

Terraria vs Minecraft: Which is the better game?

Even if you’ve spent most of your life with consoles, you’ve almost definitely heard of the PC hit Minecraft. With over 12 million copies sold, it is the most played game that hasn’t had an official release yet, second only to DoTa 2. I am also going to talk about a less known game, but by no means a worse game: Terraria. Whatever you do, don’t call Terraria a Minecraft clone, because it’s not. I know most of you will toss Terraria aside, saying that being 2-d makes it a terrible game. There are pros and cons for both of them. If you would like the building aspect of the game more, then I would recommend Minecraft. Being 3-d and having more materials to use makes the building possibilities for Minecraft more enjoyable. However, if you are interested in adventuring, Terraria is the game for you. Think you’ve seen it all by going from side to side of the map? Explore the caves, brave the dangers of the dungeon, challenge the bosses, or find the floating islands in the sky. That is really the deciding factor of which game is really better. One last thing, though. Stop calling Minecraft a survival game. It’s a sandbox game. Just because you have hunger doesn’t mean survival is a big part of the game.

It’s been a while since the last story thing, but here’s part four.

A week has past since Wright called me in for chastisement. I have been really pushing it to try better. I’m not sure if it will make any difference, though. I was in the generator room, checking all the circuits, when a booming voice blasted from the speakers. “ALL PERSONNEL REPORT TO THE REAR COMMAND DECK. IMMEDIATELY.” There was only one reason they would call us there. The rear commander deck was were the escape pods were located. No time to waste, I got up and hurried to the rear.

The GBA IPad Emulator

It’s come to my attention that the current most popular app that people are getting on their IPads at our school is the GBA Emulator. It’s nice to see that classics making a comeback, but I’ll I see people play is Pokemon. I’m here to tell you to branch out. The GBA has a lot more games to offer. I, myself am playing Metroid: Zero Mission, Metroid: Fusion, and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. I am really loving all three of them. Go on to a ROM site and try something new for once.
