Good Luck on Finals Everyone!!

REAL HOVER BOARD!

Introducing, the hover board known as the Hendo Hover!
It is being called the worlds first hover board. But, it only hovers an inch from the surface, which has to be made of metal.

The surface has to be metal because the engines induce an opposing magnetic field to a metal surface below, which in turns allows the board to hover.

I wonder if this is similar to when you put the same repulsion part of magnetics together, because when this happens, neither magnetic fields are able to touch. Therefore, are the engines just magnetic repulsers that repulses away from the metal surface, to ultimately allow it to hover?

Either way, the design of the board looks sleek and modern, because grey and black colors seem to represent modernity. As for the blue light that is underneath, I wonder if they just copy how repulsers look like from Iron Man and the avengers movie in their space crafts and flying machines.

The seat that you can put in your pocket to take anywhere!

Known as the sitpack, it is a device that can fold up to 6 inches long, in order to fit in pockets, and extend to 34 inches long and capable of supporting up to 286 pounds.
The creator is name Jonas Lind-Bendixen came up with the idea after he got tired of waiting inline for  a concert, and it is suppose to be a way to help those who stand for long periods of time, to have a way to take a break anywhere in a way to ease back pain. 

I personally think it looks a bit weird, but it could be a great thing to have at concerts as well when queuing in a line for something.
So far Jonas kick starter has raised over 100,000 dollars so maybe he can hire a designer for a more appealing look?

Introducing The Forest a survival game!
While the game is basically an interactive software survival simulator, in which you gather supplies, kill animals, and build fires and camp sites, the bugs  and glitches within the game provides for some funny entertainment.
First off, the story begins with you on a plane with, what appears to be your son, when suddenly the plane crashes, you and your son survive, but a naked man come and takes your son away from you. Then the game starts. You would think that the main objective is to go find the naked man who took your son away, but its not. So far the people who played the game have tried locating the kid, but he is nowhere to be found, you are just attacked by the naked natives, who happen to be cannibals. Therefore the only thing you can do is survive.
I personally want to play this game, but I do not own a computer that can handle the graphics! But, the game just seems to be more appealing because of the reviews people have put about the game, as well as the funny commentary game plays, some famous YouTubers do.

The comments that I found funny, are consisted within this post.

Good News!! Killing Sims does not mean you are insane!

I think it is amazing how people have fun torturing sims in The Sims game series. I myself even enjoy killing a few sims in a variety of ways.

But, this topic came to mind because i stumbled upon an article that shows that it has been studied that people seem to torture Sim just out of plain curiosity and not because people are insane. http://www.pcgamer.com/torturing-the-sims/

I personally do not think I am insane, I just get rather bored after creating a dream home. building homes in the games is most exciting because while you insert the sims you created, after a while things need to happen in order to make the game entertaining.

For example, the classic normal ways of killing a sim tend to be from a fire (if your sim sucks at cooking) or drowning in a pool (because you happen to "forget" to put a ladder in... though newer sim games made sims smarter to know how to get out of a pool without a ladder) and also starving to death (when you forget to put a kitchen in your home.)

To spice things up a bit, I make my sims have a house party, then i remove all the doors and insert about 20 fireplaces or rocket launcher stuff and have them all turn on. This kills most of the sims and those who survive tend to just starve to death eventually. 

In a way, doing this also creates a haunted house due to all the newly homed ghosts on your land, therefore I can easily put a new house on the land for a sim to live in and be constantly annoyed and spooked from ghosts.

Basically, after all this, it is mainly for fun and games and not out of curiosity for me. I prefer my sims dying from fire because they are a less messy ghost (sims who drown tend to spray water everywhere when they are a ghost). It is also fun to try to befriend death for that one sim who is allowed to live.

Parents seem to be either killed off, not mentioned, or mentioned dead in animated/cartoon movies.

This conversation about deaths in animated movies, comes from a person on my Facebook page. They were arguing that movies do not need to kill off a parent in order for the movie to be good. (She saw How to Train Your Dragon 2).

This then sparked a conversation about how most animated movies, tend to not really include parents significantly in movies.
To just name a few movie examples of movies in which the one or both parents are killed off:
The Lion King (Mufasa's death still makes me cry)
Nemo
BAMBI!
The Fox and the Hound
Lilo and Stitch
Frozen
Tarzan
The Land Before Time
How to Train your Dragon 2
Shrek 2
Anastasia
etc. 

The list goes on when you think about parents not being mentioned at all or are mentioned dead as well such as Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin...

Overall, it kind of makes me wonder why movie studios choose to do this. Maybe its because without the parents, the child is forced to grow up and movies in which people grow up and learn who they are suppose to be , tend to be popular. 

Real life Hogwarts School

Hogwarts Larping is now apparently real. Registration opens in a few months for those who wish to travel to an actual location. Your register, get sorted into a house and take actual classes based on the Harry Potter world. You can also play sports such as quiditch. I personally do not know if i would register and pay to travel to a place in order to role play and dress like a wizard, but this seems like it would be the best vacation present ever for a person my age who actually grew up with the books. As well as for kids who are introduced to the movies and books now.
