Minecraft

2012-01-05T11:46:00.005Z

Hi people! You know what time it is - yep, game review time!

Minecraft is a basic survival game where you collect resourses to survive, stone, wood, etc. etc. Over time as you get more and more stuff, you can use them to craft other items such as pickaxes for mining, fences, doors, things llike that. Now I'm just going to give a quick first-night tutorial because at night monsters come out and try to kill you. So first when you first create a new world the game will dump you in the desert or a coastline or forest, and the first thing you want to worry about is time. Look at the sun. Then you need to find some wood, so find a tree and point your crosshair at the trunk, and hold down left mouse button. Your hand will lash out and punch the tree with a left hook, upper cut, jab, whatever. when it breaks a small block of wood will pop out. Pick it up by walking on it. It will go into your toolber at the bottom of the screen. Now you want about 10-12 blocks of trunk. When you have done that, press E on your keyboard to bring up your inventory. In the top right corner of the box is your crafting area. Put all of the tree trunk in a space and some wooden planks should appear in the result square. Take them all. Then put a wooden plank in all the crafting spaces to craft a workbench. That's really all you need to know, but I'll give you a crafting hint: making the shape of what you want to craft works. Then you need a shelter for the night, and some coal, but I'll leave that to you. Enjoy!

Jujitsu Competition

2011-12-12T13:00:00.003Z

Hey people! I'm back. This time, it's my Jujitsu competition 2011! Now, this competition is all about "having fun", but when I got their I was not having fun. I was nervous. My friends Billy and Jonny were their too, nervous. Thats all that I was. OK, we all sat down and began to do our stuff. I got third three times, (ha ha), and everyone got a medal for coming. Naturally. I had done individual kata and bows and team bows and kata, and self defence. Bows are like long staffs, and katas are a seiries of moves put together. The Jujitsu Grading is coming soon too! On the 18th of December me, Jonny and Billy will all be going for a white belt with a green stripe down the middle. Thats the first green belt. Finally I can show you a picture (as usual), and I will see you NEXT TIME.

Two trophies for individual kata and self defence, bronze medal for team bows, gold small medal for coming.

Muckleborough Collection

2011-09-29T13:20:00.008+01:00

I think guns are awesome. If you do too, then go to the Muckleborough Collection. WWI and II tanks! Guns! Model maps! What more could you want? The first room had this really big model army camp from WWII, with planes on strings and all,and then there was a larger room full of knives, ranks, and guns. Also some model ships. Then it got really good when we reached the tanks. British, American, Soviet and German tanks, transport vehicles, and WWII ambulances. There was also some very very big Field Guns and Artillery. Anti-Air guns, and a WWII blitz spotlight. My favourite part was OBVIOUSLY the tanks and the gift shop. Ha ha. I bought a bullet on a chain, AND I CAN'T BELIEVE I DIDN'T GET A SINGLE ICE CREAM! I still enjoyed it though! I still think that they should have put some modern guns and rifles in there too. That would be good. Also there was this really big long room stuffed full of model ships. There was this really big oil rig model with helis and people and everything. Also a giant air-craft carrier and a ship called the HMS Furious. It sure looked furious...FACTOID...Ever wondered what HMS stands for? It means "Her Majesty's Ship". Pictures:

Model planes!

Very big gun.

Blitz Spotlight

Just Cause 2

2011-02-22T11:42:00.002Z

Here comes another game review! In Just Cause 2, you are Rico Rodriguez, and you can do anything you want! Blow up, hijack, fly, drive, basejump, grapple, and swim in this game. I like hijacking aeroliners, but it's up to YOU what you do. (It's open-world.) I got a PS3 early this year. The game is really my dad's, we got it for him for his bday, but I play it just as much. Here is some pictures:

Helicopters, cars, boats, jets, bikes, tanks and more. Mods (computer only) and add-ons (computer and console). The aim of the game is to cause CHAOS (blow stuff up) to unlock agency missions, which progress the story, faction missions, stronghold takeovers, and black market items. When you complete the game you go into Mercendary mode. In this mode you have to get 100.00% completion. HAVE FUN!

Club penguin

2010-12-02T12:59:00.002Z

You know I like doing those game reviews. Well here is another! I'll give you some pictures in a sec, but first I want to tell you about it. Well, Club penguin is an extremely popular online social game, that is download free, and is very fun indeed. Over 20 games, like jetpack adventure, hydro hopper, thin ice, puffle rescue, aqua grabber, dance contest, DJ3K, astro barrier, bean counters mancala sled racing find four gone fishing card-jitsu...*deep breath*...and EVERY SINGLE ONE GIVE you COINS! (Coins are only really useful if you are a member...)

Lego Star Wars II

2010-07-26T12:25:00.002+01:00

Hi again!

I have had this game on my computer for about a year now so I'm a bit late, but here it is: Lego Star Wars II!
Some pictures to start with (why do I always start with pics?!):

It's a really good game but it is a bit old...2007.

The Sims 3

2010-07-05T12:36:00.002+01:00

Hi again! I have this AWESOME computer game called the Sims 3. It is MEGA! You get to make your own sims, house, and furnish it. You can make them make friends, and go to work. You can even make them catch a fish and put it in a fishbowl. Ha ha, I'm not going to tell you the cheats though!
Other things you can do:
Go shopping
Go to the park
Learn skills
Move house
Phone friends
AND MORE!
Some pics:

This is the town park.

This is one of my sims on the PC.

This is MEANT to be a sim dancing but you can't see it very well, because the picture is a bit dark. Sorry! It's the computer's fault!

Lego Minifig Comp

2010-06-10T13:13:00.002+01:00

Today I entered a LEGO COMPETITION! (Oh wow.) My mum helped me take a good picture and I cropped it and resized it and all that stuff. Then I sent the picture to them by email. Here's the pic:

Yah, I put a little gem on the island too!

Magic Tricks

2009-11-24T13:13:00.003Z

Today I did a Magic Trick, and it worked! I drew an arrow in the middle of the bottom half of a piece of paper, put a glass infront of it and put some water in it and HEY PRESTO!!!!!!!! the arrow points the other way! Ka-ching! Note: the glass must be straight sided (not squared).

This is the stuff that you need.

Fold the piece of paper in half. It should look like this.

Now put the glass infront of the arrow. It does not turn the arrow the other way round...

...but...pour water into the glass...

...Ka-ching! Look through the glass. You may have to move the glass away a little to be able to see. Look at the picture above!!!!

Archery

2009-10-17T13:36:00.003+01:00

Every week I do Archery. It's really cool and I am now at the back on the room. There are three shooting lines: Front, Middle, Back. What I have to do is hold the bow, get the arrow, put the arrow in the bow and...
PING!
Yah, it's simple, but there are a few things that the instructors tell you to do.

(P.S. Yay it's nearly Halloween! [Spooky wail])

Isle of Skye

2009-09-22T11:47:00.002+01:00

On the 9th of September, me, Katie, Mummy and Daddy left for the Isle of Skye. We had to do three seperate journeys which were about five hours long each (wow). Luckily we had the iPod to keep us amused. Our first campsite was Grizedale, we stayed there for two nights. On the second day we went to the Lake District, and went to Beatrix Potter's house. The next campsite was Luss, which WAS in Scotland. If the Lake District was in Scotland it would be called Loch District. I really liked the Luss campsite because it was by the edge of Loch Lomond; I liked going in the water. We sadly only stayed at Luss for one night. Then finally we got to the Isle of Skye were we got a holiday cottage and stayed there for a week. YIPPEE IT HAD LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS OF LEGO THERE WOOOOOOO! Sadly I made a really good model on the last day and :( I had to leave it there :(. The best part was seeing my friend almost everyday (he lives on the Isle of Skye).

On the way back we stayed at Luss for :( one night and at Bewick Upon Tweed for :) one night.
I'm happy about stayed at Bewick for one night because it was SO WINDY.

I got home on the 21st of September.

Chaos Faction

2009-08-28T11:09:00.002+01:00

I REALLY like a online game called Chaos Faction. You have to kill your opponent by punching, kicking, or using power-ups. To control (default controls) press Z for attack 1 (punch) and X for attack 2 (kick). To use a power-up collect a box that appears on the play area. Then either use Z or X to use it. If you do campaign you have to battle an opponent to unlock new characters and weapons. To customise your character, click "Start Game" on the main menu, then select a game mode. The customise character screen will come up after that.

Sid Meier's Railroads!

2009-08-20T13:28:00.003+01:00

Yahoo!!!!!!

My Dad put an AWESOME game on the computer two days ago and I thought I should tell you about it. First, some pics:

This game is super COOL and I think you should get it. Price: $39.99 (wow). Yes, OK, it's loads,
but its worth it.
I'll give you some intructions:
On the main menu, click "Single Player". Then Choose you place, and click "OK" at the bottom right corner. Then wait for it to load. After that, a screen will come up with the starting point. Select "Track" in the bottom left corner and click on one end of the bit of track that is already there. Then move the mouse to where you want the track to go to. When you have done that, click, and the track will be placed. Oh, yeah, and press - and = to change the height of the track piece.

BUILDING STATIONS

When you get to a village, town, city or metropolis, use the right mouse button and then select "Build Depot". Click near the village, town, etc. to build a depot. Recomendations: a depot for a village, a station for a town, a terminal for a city, and a terminal with a bridge for a metropolis (See "UPGRADES").

UPGRADES

To upgade a depot, click on the depot and click the picture that looks like an arrow pointing upwards (in the box that pops up). When you have done that, select what upgrade you want. To make a bridge, select "Double Track" which is under "Track". Then make a double track. Make sure it goes past the depot.

TRAINS

To get a train, click the picture of a train. Then it will come up with a map. This map is the map of the place you are in. If you have more than one depot, you can see where they are on the map. Smaller circles are the industries. in the top right corner, theres a picture of a train. Click "Change" and then use the arrow keys to select. Press "Enter" on the keyboard to select the train you want. Now, to make the train go onto the map, select two or more dots. Then a box pops up and now all you have to do is select what cars you want! Then click "Close" and choose the priority. Done? Click "OK"!

Thats all the info. Hope you like it!

The Butterfly and Wildlife Park

2009-08-19T14:42:00.002+01:00

Yesterday, I went to the The Butterfly and Wildlife Park with my Mum. It was really fun and I had an ice cream. Yum!
Before lunch we saw the flying display. They had an Eagle Owl, a Buzzard, a Black Vulture, and a Harrier Hawk.

Bearded Dragons.

The Harrier Hawk.

My Birthday

2009-08-12T08:52:00.002+01:00

Yippee! It was my birthday at the end of July! I got loads of pressies and I got lots of Lego. Yay! Also I got a Magnet Set, a blue teddy, £40, another £5 and then ANOTHER £5. In the end I spent all that on a Lego set. Here it is:

It took me 2 hours to build.

Hi!

Today I made these AWESOME patterns using a Spirograph. They're really pretty and I made loads. This is one of them:

Also I made this one:

And this one:

Last one:

I made one more but I couldn't be bothered to put it on as it takes so long to resize and everything.

Den and Bow and Arrow

2009-07-02T12:36:00.003+01:00

I made a Den at the beginning of the week. I made it by cutting long sticks and placing them in the ground. I put an empty bedding over the sticks so the wind didn't come in.

This is my den. Katie made one too.

This is Katie's one.

I am also getting really good at Archery. I'm not even doing lessons. I can shoot an arrow about three or four metres.

Internet disaster

2009-06-12T12:46:00.003+01:00

OH NOES!!!!!!!!!

The internet was NOT WORKING yesterday so i had a WHOLE day without ROBLOX! Oh no. So as you can guess I was VERY bored and had to play Micro Machines V4 on my computer. Also my sister told me to play a horse game WHICH I HATE called My horse and me. Then I installed Speedy Eggbert 2 onto the PC and Lego racers 2 too. HELP!
Luckily it was working the next day.

This all happened because of a POWER CUT.

Make-A-Flake

Ice boat

2009-06-02T12:57:00.006+01:00

Yesterday, I made a boat out of newspaper. Of course the newspaper was wet, otherwise it wouldn't freeze. So, we used a cardboard box and cut it into the shape we wanted. Then, we plastered it with wet newspaper (about four layers). We stuck it in the freezer for 24 hours and then, TA -DA! We had an ice boat.

This is the box we used.

We cut it into the shape we needed.

Then stuck it together.

This picture shows the newspaper soking in the bowl of water.

This is me smoothing the newspaper onto the boat frame (after plastering).

The boat is now in the freezer.

It floats! It stayed afloat for an hour and ten minutes.

I got this idea from a program called Mythbusters.

Horrible Histories at the Key Theatre

2009-05-15T09:27:00.003+01:00

Two days ago I went to the Key Theatre to see Horrible Histories Woeful Second World War. I liked the Theater seats because they are comfy and the ice creams were very yummy. After the break they gave me 3D glasses that made everything look really realistic. At the start, there was a plane going overhead and I thought it was really there! The show was brilliant.
:)

Laser force #2

2009-05-15T09:21:00.004+01:00

On the 7th of May I went to Laser force for my Mummy's birthday. We had a great time and I got 5732 score I think.

If you've never gone to Laser force then this is what its like: Dark. Lots of lights. The suit is heavy, but light enough for me. the gun SO ROCKS and if you have £1 you can buy a wallet for your card and you get a map of the place too.

Tennis

2009-04-23T08:41:00.001+01:00

I did my first tennis lesson on the 21st of April. I am looking forward to going again next week. I did very well and I was very happy with myself.

My Easter

2009-04-22T08:47:00.000+01:00

On the 12th of April, I got two chocolate eggs, a slab of chocolate, a tool box of chocolate tools, and both of the eggs came with chocolate bars, too!

YAY FLAKE YUM YUM

ROBLOX

2009-04-20T11:33:00.000+01:00

Roblox is a online multi-player game. You have to join OR you can play as a guest, (which I would not recommend). The good thing about joining is that you can chat, play games, make your own games, and change your character. If you get Builders club, you get even more. You get to make your own shirts, T-shirts, and trousers, (pants). You have to pay $5.95 per month, or there are other options for Builders Club.

What the heck...?

Rocket launchers!

AK-47s!

There are over 200 weapons on Roblox. Most of which are inside givers. (Givers are bars that give you weapons, tools and stuff like that). In Roblox the only thing most Robloxians like doing is...DESTROYING THINGS!! That is why there's weapons in this game. Also you have Brick battles: places that you fight each other, and also destroy. How fun is that?! This game is FREE unless you get Builders club. Use your tix and robux (which is your player's money) to buy things like, shirts, T-shirts, trousers, hats, and more!

Free Games at ROBLOX. Check out what I have been building lately!

My Pinch

2009-03-17T10:25:00.000Z

This is a pinch. I adopted it from a St. Patrick's day site (http://www.marvelicious.com/stpatrick.html). This is the link to the website. Go down to a picture of a green blob holding a clover leaf and click on the picture. Then read the intructions...

It is 'Pinch' because people pinch there classmates on St. Pantrick's day if they are not wearing green.

2009-03-03T13:45:00.000Z

check out this story of ROBLOXians having an argument about a brick (the red brick is lava). In the end the mean one gets hit by the lava because he wanted to show the nice one that the brick was harmless. I would like to suggest that you click on the picture because the picture will have a bit cut off.

My win

2009-03-03T12:36:00.000Z

Today, i won my first game of chess! I was so happy and my mum is going to give me five quid (because its pay-day!). Also yesterday I read a new book called "Notso Hotso", it was very good (good means funny).

About four days ago I walked on a horse....first time i actually sat on a horse (!).

Paper planes

2009-02-10T18:05:00.000Z

Yesterday, I went to a group setion at Kings Lynn. When we arrived there, there were already people there, and also near the end, nearly everyone was doing our planes! It was very fun, and we had a few races too. I made about 10 or 20 planes and I didn't win any of the races.

Snow

2009-02-06T13:23:00.000Z

Yesterday, we got lots of snow. We had a big snowball fight and I hit mummy loads of times! I hope everyone that is reading this got some snow too.

This is a picture of field near our house and it look so nice.

UGLYMUGLY!

2009-02-04T13:23:00.000Z

Today, my mum took a picture of me and I changed it on adobe photo shop. I looked very ugly.
See what I mean?

London

2009-02-02T10:23:00.000Z

Yesturday, I went to London. We saw China Town and we saw a lion dance. We went to a restaurant and had something to eat. We also bought some snaps*and we saw LOTS of red lantterns.

*snaps are things that you step on or throw on the ground to make a snapping sound.
This is the lion dance.

These are the red lantterns.

Lego mag

2009-01-13T11:59:00.000Z

This is my new lego magazine. I got it today and it has all sorts of stuff to do with lego: lego Bionicle, lego Technic, lego Power Miners (new), lego city, Indiana Jones, cool creations (they are things that people have made with lego), lego Pirates, Star Wars, lego Racers, and finaly, news about LEGOLAND (not the game)!

Legoland game

2009-01-12T11:17:00.000Z

Spider Ride

Boating School

Helicopter Ride and Space Tower Ride

Driving School

These are all from the Legoland game.

Legoland rides

2009-01-12T10:55:00.000Z

This is the Space Tower Restaurant, the top (where you sit) spins round and round, and there are lifts going up to the top. I think they should sell space food in here!

This is the Space Tower Ride, it has four bits that go up to the top and down again about five times. Each bit that goes up to the top has two seats on it.

This is the Spider Ride, it spins round and round and round quite fast and it's the shape of a spider. It also has fences around the edges and a gap so people can get in.

This is the Lego Restaurant, it has all sorts of food inside: burgers, ice cream (my favorite), sausages, sandwitches, desserts and more.

Finaly, the helicopter ride. What it does is it has an entrance and an exit, a tunnel where the helicopters come out and the helicopters go along the metal bar and go all the way round twice.

Things I like about my room

2009-01-09T11:09:00.000Z

I like this solar system because the planets glow in the dark. My favourite planet is Saturn, because it has rings going around it.

This my Lego Technic Excavator, it took me two weeks to build! It is my favourite Lego thing I have. When you turn the cog at the back, the arm moves.

These are the books I read, my favorite is the STAR WARS 2009 annual.

These are my fish (the other one is hiding). They are cold water fish called Snow (the one you can see) and Flame; they are very excitable sometimes.

Laser Force

2009-01-09T10:33:00.000Z

Yesterday, I went to my friends party at Laser Force. I shot many people, and I got hit about 15 times. I had to wear a heavy thing like armour on my shoulders. My highest score was 5347 I think. After that, I went back to my friends house for some food. I had a great time.
