Plans for christmas break!

The only thing that Im going to do over christmas break is mainly sit back and relack and play video games until its time for me to go down oak hill to my grandmaws house, have a big dinner, and then open my presents then go back to my house sit down for a little bit then go to bed and hope i can fall asleep. The next day i will see what I got and put them into action. But my dad has been mad at me for being stuck in my room to much when he keeps telling me to spend more time in my room which is kind of wierd.

random

Next week we will probably be having no school because of the snow storm we supposed to get but we might not get the snow just because of the direction it is traveling. I have nothing else to blog about so Im done.

eminem

Yesterday I listened to the best 3 songs by eminem and the reason I think there the best is mainly because they are amazing. 1. When i'm Gone because of how it talks about his daughter. 2. crack a bottle because of the lyrics. 3. Beautiful and this one i really have no clue why I even like it but it is truly amazing.

Basketball

Well im going to have to wait until next year to try out for basketball because I got cut. How retarted is that.... because one of the best members said that I should have been on the team but the real reason why I was cut was because I was the smallest on the team but even that is retarded because most of the best basketball players are small. 

New game

Well you probably heard about the new best-selling game Call of Duty: Black Ops which I think is alright but somethings are just not right with it. The guns are wierd, the perks are strange, and the maps are bigger than MW2 maps but I think it is better that there bigger.

Paper Prototyping

So now I have to do a thing called paper prototyping. Basically it is were you make a demonstration of your game but on paper. You have to put each scence of your game on different pieces of paper.

Game Decision

Some things that i think that might be in my game is going to be like a board game where you have to make important decisions and you will get paid for it but, if you make the wrong choice you will have to start over from the beginning. My game will kind of be like Ayiti: The Cost of Life

Coding

So now i found it out that our games will have codes in them. To tell the truth I am actually nervous about designing our codes
