Super Math

Little Big Planet 2 – (month 16)

Let’s see, what have I done since my last update?

 

My Barbarian can bleed now. He had been programmed from early on to have his heart beat faster as he gets close to death, but in the chaos of battle I’ve often found that heartbeats are hard to hear and I figured a visual aid would help, so now he also bleeds out faster as he’s about to die. It also makes pretty patterns on the arena floor as I run frantically around my enemies. : ) I think the next advancement from there will be an optional upgrade that makes him bleed acid or scorpion venom.

 

I updated my zombies to lose their arms and heads as they take damage. I’ve added Kung Fu fists as an optional attack, which work similarly to the regular fists but are accompanied with realistic Kung Fu noises, which sound like infuriated monkeys. I’ve also added lightning bolt attacks, which when at full power kind of make my Barbarian feel like The Emperror.

 

I’ve finally added a princess to the adventure mode – Futurama’s Princess Num Num, who can either follow you around adoringly or be eaten to restore your health. Having now seen a few episodes of Adventure Time with Finn and Jake, I’m thinking I would like to have a variety of princesses with different powers, like ghost princesses and zombie bride princesses. We’ll see how far inspiration takes me though. Most will likely end up being food.

Ingredients

Rain

When it rains I feel connected with nature. As it rains heaven comes down to earth, kissing it. It stays as mist, and for a time heaven and earth are together, and I feel as though I am a part of all this. As ascending clouds heaven rises back into the sky, taking a touch of earth with it.

LORD, rain down Your Spirit on us from heaven, and lift us up into Your presence.

Loophole

It seems to me that the disclaimer “Don’t try this at home” leaves us totally open to try it at a friend’s house.

Progress

Reached Game 400 in FreeCell. 999600 more to go.

…Probably not in my lifetime.

The Take Away

August 12, 2006

Today was the last day of the Leadership Summit.

One recurring theme was the message of getting past the fear of rocking the boat, of stirring things up, of making people uncomfortable. You need to shake things up if you want to change the world.

The other recurring theme was a parralel to Peter getting out of the boat to walk on water with Jesus. You need to take a step of faith if you’re going to do miraculous things with Jesus.

So in summary, the prominent message of the Summit was: rock the boat, and get out.
