For nearly a year and a half, people have been waiting for the Nintendo switch, first known as Nintendo NX, to be revealed... AND THE TRAILER IS FINALLY OUT! Look below to see it.
This is probably the first game console that I have ever wanted to buy, because I wanted to actually wait for it. Nintendo has hinted it to come out March 2017, and I am starting to save up some money for it! The price is foreseen to be around $600.
TOPIC
For topic, our class is now supposed to be making anything to do with the Titanic. Cameron, Nikalai and I have decided to create a small presentation and a comedy video based on the movie. I am really excited!!!
NUMERACY
We did lots of mathsbuddy. We scratched our pencils onto pieces of numbered paper (basic facts). And we did the last maths tests.
Sorry for not posting a lot since I have gone to Taiwan! (You probably don't know I went there, because I didn't make a post about that.) And no, NOT in the shcooll- I mean school -holidays. Yes, we are in Taiwan when other people are in school. Sounds nice to you, huh? Well, it is not that fun. I still have to do homework, because our school is completely online now. But you still have to go to school though.
Surprise! I have also bought Minecraft in Taiwan, the game that is about breaking blocks, placing blocks, and much, much more.
I played on a few servers, mostly Mineplex. I attempted to create a Minecraft gameplay video but the recording extension failed horribly. So I made THIS video to replace it.
Last Sunday, I went to Redroom. You are wondering what that is, aren't you?
Well let me explain. Redroom is an event that happens every month, and is run by a lot of our friends. Who are mostly western families (well, at least half are.) And a Redroom event could be either 'Stage Time and Wine' for parents to do acts, and watch, or 'Stage Time and Juice' for kids. That day was Juice.
On that particular day, they were supporting Playing for change. And the idea of it was to have mostly kids doing acts, but there was a band doing Eighties music for the first, I dunno, hour? Then this guy volunteered to STEAL MY SONG I WAS GONNA PLAY!!! Well, he didn't say it like that but it felt like he did. I was sad. BUT THEN I played my song, and I felt much better, because of all the people singing along. Thanks to Nile and Hannah for holding up the words! :) The video link is HERE, or you could watch it at the end of this post. At the end, lot of the people (including my mom) were kind of annoyed that the parents stole our spotlight.
AND HERE IS THE VIDEO, KINDLY EDITED BY MY FRIEND: BRIAN!
Because I'm not allowed to get Minecraft, I got this other game instead: Minetest! It is a free game that is like Minecraft, and it's open source! The only thing is there are no mobs, except for things that look like dogs and mud men. You can cook the dogs, but you can not eat them. The mud men look like mud and they shoot fireballs at you. I am building a castle on the game, and it is looking awesome. Here is a video:
Preparations:
1. Lego gummies: A few days before the party I used a Lego silicone ice cube trays from trade-me to make these Lego style gummies. The recipe for them is here. Also, here are some pictures of the finished thing.
2. Cake: I had planned on making a minecraft cake that looks like the one in the game, but the fondant icing was too expensive. Instead, I only used chocolate fondant. We had to knead the fondant a lot, to make it really soft. Then we rolled it flat and wrapped it around the cake. Here are some pictures.
The party: First, all my friends came and put the presents under our living room table. Then we played with my kinetic sand, and looked at some of our board games. After that we played a game I made called 'stick treasure hunt'. When we finished that, we came back in and the winners got their prize. We then ate the Lego gummies I made, and then opened all my presents! I got gobstoppers, minecraft toys, a Lego technic kit and a few more things. We ate the birthday cake after that. It looked awesome! Unluckily, we didn't get the cake into our pictures before I blew the papercraft things off. Have a look at the pictures below!
Thanks to Jimmy, Callan, Griffin, Jacob and Mackenzie for coming to my birthday party! I hope you liked it!
Here are my videos about minecraft. The first one is called 'minecraft test', and the second is called 'What stampy and iBallisticsquid did after a hot bath'.
