Video Game-o-rama

By: Arturo Girona

I love video games. They can be based on real life things such as war, they can be based on sports such as football and soccer, or they can be based on some magical fantasy world or something. One of my favourite video games is Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Shadow Vanguard for iPhone and iPod touch. I like shooting games a lot, so this is why it’s one of my favorites, even though you can only use five types of guns in it. A company called Gameloft made it. How many people in the school like games by Gameloft? I know there’re several kids who do. Please comment below if you like the games that Gameloft makes. For example, Modern Combat 3 and Infinity Blade 2. I’ve seen Joshua play Modern Combat 3 several times, and I see that you can use lots of guns on that. You can also stab people with a knife in it. I’ve also seen NOVA 2, and it’s pretty cool, but I heard that it’s a knock-off of HALO.

This is too cool

Metropolis II by Chris Burden

Hey everybody!!!

I've only got a moment because Ramona is sleeping soundly next to me, and who knows when she could wake up . . . but I couldn't not share this with you guys. Here is a brief video on a sculpture at the Los Angeles Country Museum of art. It's by an artist named Chris Burden and it's super cool. Take a look and read this article.

The T-rex a ferocious prehistoric animal that hunted anything in order to survive, the most feared living creature of its time. The largest carnivore that ever lived with a 4 foot-foot-long jaw, that was designed for “maximum-bone crushing”. It liked to play hand games??? It had very small hands that’s what I meant. Large feet equipped with claws. It also had a long, slim, stiff, pointed tail that provided balance and allowed quick turns while running. Your everyday T-rex was up to 40 feet long and about 15 to 20 feet tall. It could eat up to 500 Pounds of meat and bones in one bite. The most important fact of all is that it has a brain the size of a wall-nut.

Libya’s terror continues By.Sebastian Kong

Just when Libya’s problems were gone after Gadhafi was killed, thousands of surface to air missiles have gone missing. They were stolen from unguarded military warehouses. These missiles are heat-seekers making it a high threat to all civilian aircraft. These missiles lock on the engines and very accurately take out the target. There are presumed to be 20,000 missiles missing and officials are working on a solution.

The U.S. military do are not giving information on how much progress they have made on finding the missiles. The biggest and most feared occasion is that Al-Quada may be in possession of many of these missiles and it is believed to be possible that they can successfully smuggle them out of Libya posting a huge threat to the U.S." Matching up a terrorist with a shoulder-fired missile, that's our worst nightmare," said Sen. Barbara Boxer, D.-California, a member of the Senate's Commerce, Energy and Transportation Committee.

The U.S. have known about this for about six months and Libya now have protection on their planes. It is something that is attached to the bottom of the plane. It is said to be able to detect an incoming missile almost instantly and shoot a laser that hit the missile and leading it away from the plane. They are mainly giving this to the planes that travel oversees and that there are over 500 planes. This was estimated to cost about six billion dollars to equip and maintain the systems.

The U.S. are sending more people to Libya so they may continue the hunt for the missiles. "We're making great progress and we expect in the coming days and weeks we will have a much greater picture of how many are missing," Shapiro said.

Kid Raps Fast

Rapping is a form of art. Poetry inscribed into music’s standards. Lyrics and rhythm in rap is what make it so genuine, so original and appealing. Famous rappers today rap about life experiences and personal views and they master the art of rap poetry so that their songs sound the best they can. I personally like rap very much, and I bet there’s a lot of you guys who like it to. From Tupac to The Notorious BIG, and from 50 Cent to Jay-z, rap comes in all styles and they talk about different things. But this kid, who has 16+ million views on this video he posted, is something different. The video showcases him fast rapping. This is a skill that few manage to achieve, and the rhymes in his song are complex and so fast that the final product is unbelievable. How fast do you think you can rap? Does this guy rap too fast, or fast enough? Obviously mainstream rap is not like this, but anyway, this guy has some serious skills. After watching this, do you see rap in a different way? This is sure an oddity in music.

Different kinds of laughter

I thought this video was really interesting because it showed all the different laughs that different people have. While I was watching it, I actually thought that some of those laughs were…well pretty interesting… They actually make you laugh, which shows that laughter is contagious. Now tell me did you laugh? What do you think of all this different kinds of laughter? Do you actually think that laughter is contagious?
