I’m not dead yet!

Hey guys, I know I haven’t posted in quite while, and I’m sorry. I’ve been working on a project, so I had to take a break. I will start posting again, but it won’t be daily. I’ll probably be posting once a week, on fridays, but I may have smaller posts inbetween.

I hope you guys don’t abandon me, and look forward to tomorrow’s article!

BlueXephos – a history

Hey guys! First of all, I am so sorry for the hiatus in posts. I took a break over the weekend to catch up on schoolwork – and yesterday my computer broke down. But you don’t want to hear that – you just want the next post (hopefully) so enjoy!

Have you heard of the Yogscast? Well I sure have, and probably before any of you because I am better than all of you. Always. Continue reading BlueXephos – a history

What Flavor is Cardboard?

So today I had a conversation with Daniel Kaplan! OHMIGODOHMIGO-well it was more like a short hello. Here’s a transcript:

Daniel Kaplan – So a plumber is on his way. His website had comic sans but He is Italian. I guess that makes it ok?

Me – It’s NEVER ok to use comic sans.

Daniel Kaplan – and He is late…

Me – oh my god oh my god he replied just play it cool crack a joke thats how you do it okay how about something with life mottos hmm maybe yes that sounds good making fun of comic sans ok ready? no capitals that looks cool @Kappische tsk tsk never trust a guy who uses comic sans – my life motto ok ok that was good that was good

I ended up staying up all night seeing if I would get another reply. I didn’t. I kind of realize now how stupid this is. He replied to one of my messages – it took 5 seconds to type and He is late…

I guess everybody at Mojang is an idol of mine… thats kind of sad isn’t it?

My top 5 Akatsuki Members.

The Akatsuki represents the main antagonists of the first half of Naruto: Shippuden. Led by the mysterious Pain, the team consists of (at the start of Shippuden):

  • Pain
  • Konan
  • Deidara
  • Sasori
  • Itachi Uchicha
  • Kisame
  • Hidan
  • Kakuzu
  • Zetsu
  • Tobi (Obito)

These will be the only contestants in this – so half of them will make it on my list. Let’s start out with number 5:  Continue reading My top 5 Akatsuki Members.

On the subject of Obito

Obito, oh Obito. The most significant plot point in probably all of Naruto. I’m not sure what to think of you. Ever since the Kakashi Gaiden episodes, I suspected you were Tobi, and I was right. But your back-story… I don’t know that it disappoints me, really – I just… well. The way they did it feels very rushed. Earlier on in the series, nothing at all is suggested that Kakashi killed Rin. I mean, its seems like a pretty big plot point – why did they put in so many episodes of just flashbacks to Naruto and Sasuke’s childhood – but nothing about one of the most traumatic experiences of Kakashi’s life. Now, I understand – they didn’t know back then and all that, but I’m sure Kishimoto know from at least near the start of Shippuden about Obito – I’d think that, as a good writer, he would of planned that out already and told the anime creators.

Sorry this is a short post, by the way. I had a truckload of homework to do today, and so I didn’t get around to writing it until now.

If your opinions differ, feel free to tell me in the comments!

Until next time!

Two flaws in Naruto and Naruto: Shippuden

Naruto and its counterpart Naruto Shippuden is probably the best anime of all time (in my opinion, of course) however, it falls prey to two significant downsides –

1. The Filler Is Atrocious

Naruto is infamous for its filler episodes. The entire second half of Naruto the original is filler. Over 100 consecutive episodes of filler. And the people who write anime fillers are complete and utter sh*t at their job. I can only remember a few filler arcs that I actually enjoyed, although I skipped most of the filler in Shippuden.

2. (And this is the major problem) the FLASHBACKS!!!

DBZ is know for being 90% screaming – well Naruto and Shippuden are both 90% flashbacks – and not only that, but always to flashbacks that we had already seen before hundreds of times. This is just pure goddamn torture. What we see most is flashbacks into Naruto and Sasuke’s tragic childhoods. We understand that Naruto was ignored Hi boogie. Ive seen alot of recent tweets and I want to say – I understand your depression and I hope your new plan helps you feel better.and isolated. We understand that Sasukes older brother Itachi killed their entire clan except him. We f*cking understand that Naruto wants Sasuke to return to the side of good, we UNDERSTAND! In the middle of watching an intense battle, I really dont need a whole episoee of Naruto flashing back to his tragic childhood. Just please stop.

Thanks so much for reading my rant, guys, and if you hate flashbacks, feel free to comment about it! (Or anything else)

My Pushup Journey (so far)

I’m not exactly fit. I’m pretty much the opposite. That’s why I decided to learn to do a pushup. Not hundreds – just one. Because I couldn’t do even one. So I tried, and gave up because it was way too hard to do even one. Then, I tried something different – angled pushups. Basically, you get in a pushup position one the side of a counter, so that you’re angled diagonally. These pushups are thousands of times easier to do. On my first try, I did ten. I tried again, and was able to do 16. Then I rested for a couple of minutes and did 16 again. I did this 5 times.

The next day, I did 5 sets of 16 pushups again, and the next day, and I’m still doing it a week later. I am way stronger now. I’m going to increase my number in a set to 18, and do that for a week. Then 20, and so on. When I deem myself able to do a real pushup, I’ll be ready.

If any of you are like me, and are fat, anime-loving, video-gaming losers – I suggest you try this out. It’s really helping me.
