The Maze Game

    they say 7/10 college kids, can't beat this simple maze game. It only has 4 levels and apparently a skill level to high for most people in college. But 13-17 year olds, find this game easy.
Try it for yourself. Can you beat the game?

You Can't Make Every One's Day

    No matter how hard you try each day, no matter what you, no matter how much you want to please them you can't. You can't make everybody's day. Sure you can try, but it's not gonna happen. I know it sounds kinda negative but it's the truth. Try it yourself. Go to work or school, and try to make everyone happy. Every single person. Plus there's always that one person who's always thinking he's better then you.
    In the words of one of my favorite bands Smash Mouth

"So gather round I'm here to say, you'll never make everybody's day, but while your around you might as well, catch the tiger by it's tail."

    Basically while you can't make everyone happy, you can at least try. You want a better atmosphere for you, so go get it. Here's something really cool you can try. When someone's being mean or absurd to you. Just simply have a proactive attitude the whole time, and say only positive things. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't.

your gonna deal with this your whole life, practice now or just ignore it. Simple as that.

Becoming A 2D Animator

    Well, it took me two years to get high-beginner in animating, the ranks in 2D animating are

low-beginner
Med-beginner
high-beginner
Intermediate
Pivot-Veteran
Elite

Elite, obviously being the best. Now, animating isn't as easy as it looks. It takes time, patience, and a nice steady beat.(Ex. Music, heart rate, relaxation) 
You also have to remember realistic movements and or positions. Obviously a person's foot can't bend all the way back. Plus it takes creativity. If you don't have creativity you got nothing to do with 2D animation. The most important thing about animating is, to just relax. Chill, and have fun with it.


You can download Pivot <------there


You can also download a brand new spanking program(which is still really glitchy) which is alos like pivot but trying to be improved. Stykz(I don't recomend it till next update though)


If your starting to animate I suggest music with a beat. And without lyrics. It gets you in the flow of things.


Anyways hope most of you consider animation,

Tips On How To Start Skateboarding

    So, maybe you run to the Walmart, and pick up a brand new deck. Alright, that'll be fine for now. It's below standard but so far you don't know that. So you purchase the dang thing and maybe you rush home and decide to try it first thing, well if you stand on the board and you go flying, skateboarding might not be for you. Now, I'm not discouraging you, In fact go ahead and keep going at it. But most the time you have to start at an early age to get used to the balance. Sometimes your just born with this "Center" balance. but if you do fall off right away and are really stuggling to even just stand on a board, practice. That's all it is. Practice, dedication, alot of bandaids.
    Skateboarding is really diffucult, you need to predict and analyze, and re-do any actions you've made in skateboarding. To the moment you fall on your but and are getting back up, you gotta realize

1. What you did to fall down.
2. Your Always gonna get hurt skating

You also gotta realize the difference between what you want to acomplish, and what you can acomplish. If your skating your first day and decide, "Hey, I'm gunna tre-flip 22 stairs today!"
You might wanna think again. You might just wanna aim for something in your level. And only reaching out of your level if it''s reasonable.
    Skateboarding is mostly guess and do. You kinda gotta guess at everything your gonna do, everything you want to do. You can't spend your time measuring angles and figuring out the speed in which you must go. No, you just gotta do it.


Just do it
        -Nike

    Skating gets progressively easy once you start practicing. Some of you are riders, some of you are skaters. Riders will usually ride, no tricks. Probably own a longobard, and usually are just enjoying the speed. Skaters, are usually doing tricks and enjoying the creativity.
   

the most important thing in skating, is just to relax and have fun.

Rocket Dock: A Great Desktop Tool

    Is your desktop cluttered? Hate icons being all over the place? Well, I have a solution to your problem.
I'm quite the salesman no?  Anyways, whether your desktop is clustred or not, this is quite a useful tool. It is also fully customizable. You can change the style of the Rocket Dock, you can change the shortcuts icon, you can clean your desktop. Plus it's nice to have.
    What this Dock does is pull up a small rectangular screen, that can have icons dragged over to it, from your desktop.

Picture

That is just a small idea of how it can be customized greatly.

Droidz.orgs 3rd Forum Callaboration

Forum Collabs 

    OK, so it was just Droidz.orgs 3rd birthday, and to celebrate, they are hosting the third annual Droidz Collab. A collab is a collaboration of people working together to create a single piece of work. I have never been good enough to enter one of these collabs, but this year is different. This year I'm finally good enough to enter. And they accepted me. Now I quickly gotta think of an original idea, and still make a good animation. This could take a week or so, providing this has to be one of my best animations.
    Anyways for all you pivot users, or animators, you might wanna check out the forums collab page. It's actually pretty cool.The due-date isn't even in till April 5th, so I have quite some time before it's due.

Assasins Creed: The Meaning Of The Symbols

Assasins Creed Symbols

    Most of you have played, or know about assassins creed.  Most of us also know about the Maya calender and the world "ending". Well, this video explain what the symbols in assassins creed means, the game developers obviously planned ahead. Now, even if you haven't played this game(like me), watch the video. It really gets you thinking about what the world might really be. I don't know how this guy even figured this out. I can't really explain this, watch the video, it's self explanatory. 

*Update* New animations

wow, really bad update. I got a little bit worse I think. thats what I get for 2 months of inactivity.

Lame Kick Dance Thing
Lame Dissapear Effect

Guess I still need quite a bit of practice.

An Odd Fact: Video Games, Masturbation, Drugs, Laughing

    This is kinda weird. My dad kinda told me half of it, I goggled the rest and this is what I found.
 So, most of you know that when you take drugs that part of your mind shuts down and a small mostly unused part opens up. Meaning this, the left side of your brain, the creative side, shuts down. Then a smaller part opens up. The pleasure part of your brain. It's also what causes addiction.
    The part I was most surprised about was that video games, laughing and masturbation do the same thing!
They temporarily close down your mind, and open up a new part.(for video games, two parts open up.) The one that opened up causes temporary pleasure. All of them cause addiction. Like masturbating causes an addiction similar to drugs. That's how hard it is to quit! Video games has the same addiction as laughing. Once you play them, you always just have the choice to play them again or not. Laughing apparently is caused by an effect, it's not a choice unlike video games.

I thought this odd that Drugs and video games have a similar addiction.

anyways, nothing special

How I Almost Died: My Side Of The Story

    Well, I almost died on Wednesday, January 27th. Well, school is been out because of snow days. So I invite my best friend to spend the night. The next day we  were sledding and having fun. So me and my best friend come in for lunch. We go back out and we walk behind my house where there's this huge hill that we were gonna sled on. We head back behind my house, my other two friends(ones also a best friend)were already there. So I remember how cold it is and asked about the pond near this big hill. He nods yes and says "It's Frozen alright." So I was like, "Cool, lets go check it out." My friends says, he tried stepping on it and his foot fell in. I laughed at him for being so stupid.
    So we get to this pond, and I get a phone call(my last one)saying that school was out for Thursday. We were all screaming "YES!" and I had an idea. "Let's see how thick this pond really is. Find a big rock." Ad the search began. No one found a rock for a while. Then my little brother, finds one and chucks it right away. It didn't break the ice, but since my bro was little, I thought it didn't break cause he didn't throw the rock very hard enough. So I had an idea. "I'm gonna see how sturdy it really is." I turned to my friend. "If I fall through that ice, will you come and get me?" He looked at me and said, "sure, no problem. I promise." So I take a step and my foot falls through. i pull it out quickly. Then quickly I jumped across the hole I made. I expected to fall through, but I was still on top. I was scarred for a moment, but then I quickly got over it.
    I edged my way towards the rock. Sliding gently across the ice. I grab the rock and slide it further inside the ice pond, wanting to test how far I could go. So this time, I walk across, grab the rock, and chuck it back to shore and walk back. And jumped over the fallow, weaker ice. And I said, "I'm sledding across it." It was my friends idea, he was gonna do it but yelled that he was just kidding. So they all get exited. We get to the top, I sit on the sled, and they push me......hard. I went flying down this mini hill, and slid over the shallow part somehow, and slide halfway across. It was a pretty good first try. I was In the middle, I got up and slowly walked the sled back. I said "Let's try that again, except push me away so I don't have to turn so much, that way I can get more speed." They nodded all exited and with adrenaline. This time they did exactly as I asked. I flew all the way across. I was so exited. I quickly asked my other crazy, dare devil friend to try it. He nodded excitedly. He trys it, doesn't make it across but drifts. my best friend who spent the night keeps saying how it's gonna crack. We keep telling him to at least quickly walk on the ice. My dare devil, friend goes a few more times.
    Then me and my daredevil friend wanna see how much pressure it taked before it cracks. So we go out int he middle of the pond. I said " If I fall in, come and get me." and he said "Promise. Will you get me?" I also promised. So I jump on the ice. Nothing happens, its freaking solid. He trys it, freaking solid. So we walk back feeling relieved.
     Then we wanna sled down a hill again. But this time we all decide to walk across the ice this time. ALL OF US. We somehow convinced my best friend wo spent the night. So me and my best friend are talking, and we're about right smack in the middle of this frozen pond. Then suddenly my best friend yells, "ITS CRACKING!" I could feel it big time. I tried to run but the cold heartless water swpt me in. My best friend turns to help, but in a second he's in to. We wim frantically. My daredevil friend that said he would dive in for me, rn as fast as he could down the street. My other friend was trying to reach for me 5 feet away. My little brother ran back to shore. He was crying, saying "DARIN DON'T DIE!" I thought I'd be out of there in a jiffy. Nope, every pieace of ice I grabbed, broke. My best friends head went under water. Came back up quickly, we sat there for about 3 more minutes swimming, tryning to grab something. My best friend got out on the foruth minute. But his leg fell in again when he tried running backto shore. Me? Well, I was still stuck, swimming. I was about to give up, I was tired and the water was clining me down. And I was numb. I was about to go down, to tired to move, when I grabbed on to some solid. Ice, I didn't care to double check to see if it was stable or not. I just grabbed the ice got on it. I was so confuzed. I could't feel anything so I didn''t know if I was dead or not. then I realized I was laying next to the water, so I could'nt be dead. I did the slo mans roll, away from the unforgiving icy cold water. then I stood, and yelled "That kinda hurt, plus i'm numb right now!" I reached in my pocket, guess what. my phone was dead....great.
    My dad and mom were mad. But I'm still alive, and happy. Check back for different sides of the story later. my best friend, other best friend, my little brother, and the daredevil.

Anyways,

I'm out!
