Ema and Rook get new computers!
My apologies for the lack of updates. I hate to say “I’ve been too busy,” but the truth is I’ve been too busy. But for good reason!
Ema’s birthday is this weekend. She’s turning 10. That’s right: the big 1-0. She’s finally in the double digits! It seems like yesterday she was only 4 years old and just learning to steal the XBox controller from me. Well, this year, I decided that I would build us some brand new gaming computers. I say “us” because, since our birthdays are in close proximity (we’re both Leos – Rawrz!), I figured I’d do something for myself this year.

COD:World At War: Zombies
Call Of Duty has been around for a quite a while now and the creators had an idea of throwing Nazi Zombies into mix. It gives the gamers something different to do, other than defeat your fellow friends online. In order to survive you will have to learn to work as a team and listen to one another. The objective of the game is to stay alive as long as possible, while you run back and forth hoping to get a better gun as you move further into the game.
You are able to buy guns with the points you gain after killing zombies. The Pistol will be the gun you start off with along with a knife. Weapons are placed on every wall around you. Some can be stronger than others or example: The Ray Gun is a futuristic kind of weapon that will kill zombies in one shot. This is One of the best guns in the game, so if you see it don’t hesitate and grab it! You can obtain this weapon after hitting the random weapon box. With this box you can get a Ray Gun
, Big Machine Gun, or even the first weapon you started with and that being the pistol. After the first zombie map came out , three more were made because of the fans. Every map had something new like Zombie Dogs, The Weapon Box Moving to random areas on the map and new weapons.
The last map to come out was called Der Reise and this was the best one yet. A little more on the future side and when you have enough points saved up you can get an upgrade for your gun! The upgrade makes you gun stronger and gives you double the ammo. Another cool add on were the teleporters which teleport you from the area you are in to the Pack A Punch Upgrade Machine. Even if you are not a big fan of zombies i really recommend this game, incredibly addicting!

New puzzle from Ernő Rubik!

Professor Rubik

The Original Rubik's Cube
In the mid-70’s, an architecture professor named Ernő Rubik invented the “Magic Cube”. The Magic Cube (later renamed “Rubik’s Cube“) was a puzzle that would go on to become a prominent symbol of the 80’s, joining the ranks of such iconic institutions as He-Man, ColecoVision, big hair, neon, and leg warmers.
Rook and Ema beat up Albert Wesker!

Resident Evil 5 Splash Screen
Last night, Ema and I turned the XBox 360 on and decided to accomplish what we’d set out to do since we got Resident Evil 5: to beat Albert Wesker.

Albert Wesker
We racked up 19 deaths by trying to fight him from a distance. We were in disbelief as he absorbed all of the ammunition we could fit into our bags. With almost no sign that we were doing any damage to him, Wesker continued to soak up all of our big booms while letting out chuckles… this began to make me feel somewhat hopeless.
