Un Lun Dun

 At the beginning, there is a Shwazzy (referring to french: Choisi, which means chosen.) called Zanna, which is short for Susanna. She is supposedly  the very person who will help UnLondon, the London beneath the actual one. But everything goes wrong when she is about to summon up her powers over air and is knocked out by the most terrible, cunning, deadly enemy ever:
Smog.
When she recovers, she has no memory of the happenings in UnLondon. With her knowledge of the Phlegm Effect, Deeba, Zanna's best friend, realizes that the environmental minister, Rawley, has traveled to UnLondon too. In a daring attempt to save UnLondon, Deeba runs up a staircase of books.....but will she succeed? Read it to find out!

A word about this book: This book is probably the most unconventional  book I've ever read. Generally, the hero or heroine perseveres throughout the entire book and finally triumphs. But Zanna's loss of memory at the very beginning just made me laugh. The author brought about a pleasant change in an otherwise monotonous world.

The True Giraffe

Un Lun Dun changes what you know about the world. It turns out that Giraffes aren't herbivores, and neither do they have long necks just to eat plants from tall trees. In fact, Giraffes will eat any animal they see, and share the skin of the animal with their mouth to show that it is their prey. They were just putting on a big show up in the real world.
Naturally, Sharks aren't the perfect predators. Black Windows are. Windows with eight legs are enough to make anyone jumping out of their skin, isn't it? I hope I didn't forget to mention that if anything enters the window of a Black Window, it never comes out...unless someone pulls it out. Like poor Rosa.

Binja

Of course, there are the binja. These highly trained, silent trash cans are, other than unbrellas, the only things that can actually fend off the Smog's attacks. The art of the War Fan has been extremely usefull to them.
Then there are the conductors. As they proudly say, "In our training, we were trained not only to conduct buses, but also ELECTRICITY!" Mr. Jones is quite an important conductor.

Smombies

Book. That sarcastic, continuously whimpering book that has hundreds and hundreds of pages of utter rubbish. But there are somethings that are correct, such a
"NOTHING AND THE UNGUN."
The UnGun. I can't believe I forgot to tell you about it. An old fashioned revolver that shoots hair, salt, paper....pretty much anything thats in it. It figures out how to use each object in the best way. It is supposedly the only object that the smog is scared of.
AAAAH, the smog. In the form of Smombies, or just by itself, the Smog is a powerful enemy. Only the UnGun, Klinneract, or Armets can destroy it. But a sudden realization takes Deeba even more into the darkness.....

Kaleidoscope

In seventh grade, our physics teacher taught us the concept of a kaleidoscope. It was something using mirrors to see beautiful designs, at least that was what I understood at that moment. Then we were given the job of making one. Of course, I just went to a shop and they ready made it for me (I didn't even know they would). Since then, my kaleidoscope was sitting, gathering dust for two years, unused and forgotten. Then today, I cleaned it and used it to see a different take on the everyday would. Here are a few pictures I took:

Nintendo Wii U

All of you who haven't been living under a rock for the last four months will know that the console successor to the Wii is releasing next year, post-April.
If you didn't know that, I would be very pleased to know how you got internet and an electric connection under a rock.
Naturally, as with every upcoming console, there has been much hype and many rumors about the Wii U. Originally known as Project Stream, it represents another leap, and once again by Nintendo. Using high graphics, tablet controller, and motion , Nintendo hopes to blast Microsoft and Sony into oblivion once and for all.
This 6.2 inch, resistive touchscreen provides a unique experience, allowing the player to easily interact with items or other tools e.g. maps without disturbing the game.
The purpose of it, however, does not stop there. When the T.V. is occupied, the game can be played on the controller itself.
The Wii U also represents a change from the optical disks used in the Wii for games, to the DVD ones used in the Xbox 360 and PS3. This could mean that the Wii U can play movies.
A relief or Nintendo fans, the Wii U will come with HD capability, allowing the graphics to finally match those of Microsoft and Sony. In fact, there were reports that the graphic capability of the Wii U exceeded that of the PS3 by 50%!

Another reason I'm looking forward to it (yes, I am) are the games:
1. Super Mario Bros. Mii
2. New Super Smash Bros.
3. New Zelda game


Stay tuned or more updates!

As I write this post, my blog is nearing three thousand views. I just want to thank you all for continuing to read my blog no matter how few times and bearing with my more cheesy and stupid posts. October was by far the best month (in terms of views) I've ever had so far, with 530 coming in. I'm hoping for another month like October.
I will be publishing more reviews soon.

Google Translate Messups

We all know that Google Translate is, frankly, horrible. It can't translate to save its own program.
But here are some hilarious ones I found when I tried translating to telugu:
True English Version:
Dear Bob,
I live in pune. I used to live in the U.S., but India is also good. I am very hungry, so I will eat now. I like popcorn. I am going to move to hyderabad in 2012, into our house over there. It is quite big. My dad works in Oracle. We go to school at Vibgyor. My mom cooks well.
she makes dosas, idlis, and vadas when daddy comes. But she only gives cereal on weekdays. My mom is always bored and never plays games. My dad is always on his laptop and in meetings. My mom is sitting next to me and laughing at the horrible translations you are giving us. We are going to buy another tv, hopefully. It might be a large 3D one, with LED display. Isn't that amazing! I can't wait!
I might be getting a PS Vita. You don't know what it is, do you. It is the latest handheld from  Sony. There are some awesome things like LittleBigPlanet on it, whether you like it or not. So get used to it, buddy.
Enough of this talking. How are you? I am fine. You better not steal from the mayor again...
Cheers!
Me.

Less mistakes but still.....  

Overview Article

This is the final draft of my final article:

When the committee session increased six fold, so did the progress and mistakes made by DISEC on Friday morning. The meeting began with a discussion on what should be given more priority: Protection on non-nuclear states from nuclear ones, or International Terrorism. Through this long and well-fought discussion, several mistakes were made, and they have been recorded below.
The first mistake was made by the Delegate of France. The delegate supported the idea of scrutinizing the nuclear 'problem' first, and said that people should 'stop nuclear disarmament', the exact opposite of what she should have said. She quickly corrected herself before anyone could comment.
Next came from the Delegate of Egypt. His case was of severe misinformation, a fact realized by everyone when  he said that nuclear weapons were created to 'destroy terrorism', which is not true.  The U.S.A first used nuclear weapons in 1947 at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan in retaliation to the bombing of Pearl Harbor. It had nothing to do with terrorism; in fact, Al Qaeda was made in 1998, 41 years after.
The Delegate of China, Prabsehej Sethi (also the brother of chair Avtej Sethi) seemed to be unable to understand the need or formal language during committee sessions, saying "Hi everybody. Nuclear weapons are an important thing, so I guess we should talk about it." Avtej later leapt at the chance to chide his elder brother, calling him 'cheeky'.
Speaking of Avtej, he and co-chair Vrinda Kanani were urged to dance after the motion for entertainment passed in DISEC. He later sang 'Baby' by the teen sensation, Justin Bieber, for ECOSOC.
Finally, a voting was held and the majority voted or Nuclear Disarmament. Only a few other delegates made mistakes-the rest clearly expressed their country's view on the topic. Although the Delegate of South Africa began a fiery debate with the Delegate of U.S.A., when he stated that the 'U.S.A. should stop supplying nuclear arms to Pakistan,' and that a country as unstable as Pakistan would only 'destroy itself.'
The DISEC committee also worked on a draft resolution, which stated that 'all nuclear weapons should be given to the UN and deactivated' and that they 'can only be activated with prior permission of the UN.' It seems that they are a lot closer to a logical solution, and who knows, maybe they could pose as models for the real UN!
A small investigation later revealed a chit saying: "To the Chair: The Delegate of Spain would like to oppose the Delegate of Spain." No doubt it was meant as a joke when the writer was caught in a severe case of boredom. Perhaps he/she knew the Press would have a good laugh over it!
But the climax came when the Delegate of the United Arab Emirates came up. She declared war on every country, who in their turn declared war on her. This was the official beginning of the Model World War III caused entirely by the Delegate of U.A.E.
The U.A.E. delegate was also caught in a highly dramatic discovery when the Press found a note saying "USA loves UAE!" Both delegates refused to comment, although the Delegate of U.S.A. insisted that he did not write the note and proceeded to say a few words that are best left unsaid. 

VHMUN (READ THIS ONE FIRST!!!)

In case you're wondering, VHMUN stands for Vibgyor High Model United Nations. It was among the most fun experiences of my life (perhaps it was getting to stay at Mumbai without any adults peering over my shoulder, I don't know). I was a part of the press, a bunch of writers and photographers who create a newsletter filled with articles detailing about the entire event.
MUN is practically the United Nations at a kid level, where students come together, draft resolutions, and attempt t resolve disputes between countries in ways that things would happen in the UN. Of course, to match with the UN, a formal dress code is compulsary (which resulted in me buying a costly suit), yet the price was worth it.
At the same time as this post is published, two others giving my articles are going to be published. I was sent to watch DISEC (Disarmament and Security Council), where most off the people from my school were present. I was told to note down everything that I saw, especially mistakes. My only problem was that my article was HUGELY changed by the time it was published.
Here are my notes:

• Chatting on Facebook during explanation of procedure.
• Introduction to common yields, motions (NOTE: Yields and motions are used in the council to make it formal.)
• Passing of chits to talk to each other.
• Drama in the back: USA sending notes through UK to UAE....UAE looks irritated.
• Mock session on if US has great influence who is worse: Justin Bieber or Rebecca Black! :D (originally supposed to be "if US has great influence over the UN", but the more fun-loving people changed the topic as I was writing it down)
• Argentina claims that Rebecca Black has the "worst lyrics on Earth" and that she makes songs that are about "which seat she should take in the car."
• The Press head opposed this, saying that "at least Rebecca donated her money to Japan after the earthquake."
  
   

Once I reached my room, everyone else's work had finished, but mine had just begun. I chose the ones I didn't need and crossed them out:

• Chatting on Facebook during explanation of procedure.
• Introduction to common yields, motions procedures (NOTE: Yields and motions are used in the council to make it formal.)
• Passing of chits to talk to each other.
• Drama in the back: USA sending notes through UK to UAE....UAE looks irritated.
• Mock session Moderated caucus on if US has great influence who is worse: Justin Bieber or Rebecca Black! :D (originally supposed to be "if US has great influence over the UN", but the more fun-loving people changed the topic as I was writing it down)
• Argentina claims that Rebecca Black has the "worst lyrics on Earth" and that she makes songs that are about "which seat she should take in the car." He also claimed that he will "sue her for ruining his ears."
• The Press head opposed this, saying that "at least Rebecca donated her money to Japan after the earthquake."
  
   

I took out the "Drama in the Back" note since it seemed slightly personal and I didn't want to mention it. It later came up, however, in full blossom, and the entire Press team ended up finding out about it. At the ending, it ended up in my overview.

Read the next one now!

Pre-Conference Workshop

This is my article about the Pre-Conference Workshop (the thing I took notes for):


The seemingly monochromatic tiles dotted the walls as the delegates listened attentively to the speaker in the DISEC conference room. The Council was already into an elaborate discussion about the procedures and their usage.
Each delegate was sitting upright and stiff, paying their utmost attention. Bust as usual, nothing can be perfect, and there were several bad eggs scattered around the rooms.
There was a boy sitting in the back, hiding his QWERTY keypad cellphone beneath the table and (seemingly) discreetly chatting with his friends on Facebook.  Nearby, another boy was passing a chit to get a message around. In front, another person was whispering to his friend.
To top it all, most delegates admitted that they were bored; so in order to generate a new interest, there was a new idea for an unmoderated caucus:
"Who is worse at singing: Justin Bieber or Rebecca Black?"
The first to respond was the Delegate from Argentina. Claiming that Rebecca has the "worst lyrics in the world", makes songs about "which seat she will take in the car". and that he will "sue her for ruining his ears."
The Press head quickly shot back that "at least Rebecca donated her money to Japan after the earthquake."
Before the argument could complicate further, the chairs took a roll call and dismissed the delegates.

Notes for the Next Day....

These are my final notes:

• Using of iPhone during speeches.
• Delegate of France says "Stop nuclear disarmament-sorry, promote nuclear disarmament."
• Delegate of China says: "Hi everybody. Nuclear weapons are an important thing, so we should talk about it."
• The Chair targets China for being cheeky.
• Delegate of Norway uses informal language.
• Delegate of Egypt claims nuclear weapons were creates to combat terrorism (Osama Bin Laden in particular).
• Using of iPad during caucus.
• Chair chewing gum;bribes Press not to write about him.
• Delegate of Bosnia runs away right before interview. He also doesn't know the independence day of India.
• Most delegates know little or no GK about their country. They only learned about the topics.
• Everybody urges Co-Chair and Chair to dance by banging their tables and screaming their name. Soon they sing We Will Rock You.
• Delegate of South Africa sings Waving Flag and is quickly joined by the entire committee.
• UAE declares war on all countries (WWIII!)

Rubik's Cube

Those of you who regularly visit my blog will realize that I took away the dynamic views (the previous look).  The reason is simple, it took too long to respond.

Today I am revealing to all of you the ability to play a 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, and even 5x5 cube-for free. I found this brilliant game onlin for all you Rubik ans. Well, solve away!

Harry Potter SPOOF

NOTE: Harry Potter is a universe of JK Rowling and JK Rowling only.

Dear Voldemort,
I am sorry to hear of your nasty, horrible death at the hands of that meddlesome double agent, Harry Potter. I really believed he was a D.eath Eater to the core! However, I am convinced that the duel was rigged by corrupt Ministry officials. The Elder Wand was obviously tampered with by that irritating, Muggle loving man, Arthur Weasely. I see you did not listen to my suggestion that I sent two years ago (albeit under the alias Srikar); that is, the one of replacing Potty's-sorry, Potter's-wand with one of those that change into rubber chickens when you wave them.
I hope you are enjoying your stay at Limbo, although it is rather featureless (it must be, being an irritating shade of white). No doubt you overheard my conversation with Potter. I had hoped his wish to meet his parents would overcome him, and also managed to confuse him with some riddles to infuriate him further. However, his idiocy proved too great and he succumbed to his recklessness. They even made a movie about it. Luckily no ne recognized me when I watched it.
Which brings the topic back to me. Having Severus use the duplication and invisibility charms combined with a green light was incredible. I was able to stand, invisible, over there, while my lifeless duplicate fell. I do hope nobody heard Severus say "Abada Kedavra" instead of "Avada Kedavra". My "death" gave me an insight into Harry's feelings for me. Just as we had planned, he was devastated by my murder.
I am now comfortably settled in a posh apartment at Pune. It is extremely warm over here!It never snows, blizzards, sleets, or even hails. Young men around here particularly take delight in pulling my beard. A couple of  them are living the life off toads (No, really) so I don't think they'll bother me anymore.
Another few were willing to join us as Death Eaters, and we are currently practicing in my home. Instead of using Morsmordre (which is far too easy to recognize) we are using Corspordre, which displays a yellow corn floating in mid-air with a panda eating it while manure falls from above. We successfully caused some women to empty their stomach's contents on the ground.
Apart from that, I am continuing my terror strikes across the world. Osama is safe with me; I created a duplicate of him which the US killed and rejoiced about. We're planning another attack in Mumbai-whoops! Its already done! I guess time really does fly by when you're having un.
I await your resurrection eagerly, and I hope that the rumors about your last horcrux in Libya is true. Oh wait- you already said that you were possessing Gaddafi. Farewell, then!
Yours Affectionately,
Your Faithful Servant,
Albus Dumbledore

P.S. How are James and Lily? I hope they are fine. After they helped Malfoy get the Death Eaters inside Hogwarts, I would hate or the Potters to die. You should have seen their face when they found out Harry defeated you! Utterly shocked and disappointed, they were. Give my regards to Sirius and Lupin!

One of our fake duels...

  

Fancy Pants Man!

Well, my next review is about the Fancy Pants games that released for the XBOX Live Arcade and the PSN (Playstation Network). Now I don't have any of those consoles, but Brad Borne graciously put them as an add-on for Google Chrome. What I want to say first is that this game is DEFINITELY worth buying, but as World 2 is rather short, I would recommend that you wait for World 3 to release, which will have a longer and more deep storyline. Nevertheless, if you have Google Chrome, this add-on is a must-get and it provides for fun for at least 1 hour, while completing the game would take a while longer. I will be releasing a guide later on since I finished the game twice and have done pretty well both times. As you can see in the picture, I never died once and collected over 1300 points (this pic was taken before I reached that).

Ah...My beloved ice cream...

The game has a basic storyline. At the beginning, the mayor of Squiggleville (your town) presents to you a chocolate ice cream cone. However, a purple (and exceptionally fat) rabbit pops in out of nowhere and steals your ice cream. The rest of the story is just chasing him down and defeating him.Along the way, you'll run into various enemies like spiders and....spiders. While the enemies department could use some enhancement, the spiders do an ample job of attacking you, provided that you have no weapon and three spider attacks kill you.
In order to slightly increase the difficulty, it seems that Brad Borne had decided that, when attacked, Fancy Pants Man immediately goes into a state of "helplessness" i.e. he cannot grab onto anything. This could be the cause of your death many times. Although this can get annoying, it simply teaches us to be more careful.
The highlight of the game is not the deceptively simple story. Within the story, there are 12 more minigames, that will involve you and challenge you in ways the story could never have. Luck is tested, acrobatics is utilized....and your awareness is very much needed.
These twelve groups are further divided into two groups: the actual minigames, and golf. There are six minigames, one for each level. Likewise, there are six golfing courses, one for each level.
The minigames provide an ample supply of shell-like coins which restore your health. Yet, they are intriguing and simply call out to you. The obstacles you will have to face to reach them are often intelligent, and you don't just walk into them. Also, between levels, there are minilevels that have you run around without being realistic, but they are often drab. The introduction of grease increases the pace of the game greatly, and it is used often enough. These minilevels can have challenging factors that force you to use that noggin of yours.

The snail...

..and its shell

Yes!! I've finally got it-wait. Its pink? I wasted my time for a PINK pant???

The other part is golf. Golf is perhaps the most challenging part of the game.Other than spiders, there are also snails that take out half of your health. However, these snails, when jumped upon, retract into their shells and never come out. The shell is a very high impact object, meaning that if you touch it lightly, it will go flying. There are two things you can do with the snail shells. One is to keep bouncing it on your head until it touches the ground. The game conveniently counts them (my highest is 15. See if you can beat it). Although you get no prize, it is pretty fun.
The other thing is golf.
Ths shell is the golf ball and you have to kick it into a certain golf hole somewhere in the game. Some of them are easy (fifth level and the fourth level) but the rest are terrifyingly hard (especially the second and third levels). Most of your time will be spent attempting to get the accursed shell in that hole. Once you get it in, you'll receive a new pant color. Annoyingly, the third one, which is the hardest, has the black pant color, which, in my opinion, is the best color.
I will make a minigame and golf guide, but I really want to share with you my favorite minigame: AfroNinja. Hats off  to AfroNinja (yes he named it after himself) for making a difficult, yet interesting level filled almost entirely with thorns. Look at the pics and marvel.

Yes, I fell to my death two times.
And yes, those are all thorns.

You cheap arachnid!!

Although I may be praising Fancy Pants so much, it doesn't mean that it doesn't have any glitches. Often, Fancy Pants Man would continually run to the left for absolutely no reason at all. Or it could slow down significantly. I found a glitch in AfroNinja itself: How come a spider can walk on thorns while it immediately kills me??? And what is it walking on anyway? Air? Plus the fallign platforms somehow stopped above the ground for me. However, I had to kill myself to get back up.



THE VERDICT:
Gameplay: 10- The controls are very easy to learn and very responsive.

Sound: 5- A very dissapointing factor. I played mainly in the mute mode after hearing the cheap boings while Fancy Pants Man jumped.

Graphics: 9.5- Clean and clear cut. Could be slightly more detailed.

Lasting Appeal: 8- The main story, except for the final boss battle, lacks difficulty. However, the golf and replayable minigames add to the score.

Overall: 9 (not an average)- Play it on mute and its amazing.
Remember: Fancy Pants World 3 is releasing mid-year 2012! Look out!
