The Walking Dead Returns

         One of my favorite TV shows finally returns after a very long break between seasons. We last left off with the farmhouse being overrun with zombies and an epic showdown between the two alpha males of the show Rick and Shane. Shane asked Rick to help look for someone, only to be found alone with Shane in an empty field. Shane at this point in the series is nearly insane, but Rick however outsmarted Shane and killed him first with a knife. Shane then rises as a zombie and the group quickly learns that now live people after dying of natural causes become zombies. The farmland is overridden so the group has taken refuge elsewhere. One of the main characters was separated during the massacre and was rescued by some mysterious stranger with a sword and two zombies chained to her as if they were her pets. We do not know who this masked hero is, but will will soon find out on Sunday October 14th for the beginning of the 3rd season of Walking Dead!!!

The Hobbit

           I am very excited about the hobbit and it coming to the big screens. I am a huge Lord of the Rings fan. I have seen all three movies at least 5 times. The thing that makes them so great is that the plot is so epic that anything less then absolute awe is unacceptable. The Hobbit is a prequel to the Lord of the Rings, which is focused mainly on a young hobbit named Bilbo, which is Frodo's Uncle. Gandalf brings 13 dwarves to the shire and at Bilbo's house and asks him to come on an adventure. The hobbit reluctantly agrees and the long and dangerous journey begins. I have not read all of the book, so I am unable to say what will come of these brave hero's, but I ensure it will be entertaining.

How My Day Went

   Today, my peers and I set off to McMaster University to compete against other schools in a physics related event. Out of the many events to choose from, my group chose the egg toss. The event sounds simple, create a device to put an egg inside, throw the device at the target, and allow the egg to survive. The task seemed much easier than it was. We spent hours testing different techniques of construction so that the egg would not shatter, nearly all of them failing miserably. We finally got one to work that we did not entirely expect to work. Our device was a large amount of straws taped side by side to appear as if its a raft of some sort. We then rapped the straws around the egg and bent the ends together to create a somewhat football shape. After taping some sponge around the devices perimeter, our project was complete. We completed the task to it's fullest potential and were very very very happy ;D

League Of Legends Championship

          Right now the League of Legends World Championship is taking place. The championship started out with 8 teams that hailed from different places worldwide. The first to teams to compete were Moscow 5 and Invictus Gaming. Moscow 5 shut them down 2-0 in the 3 games series and advanced to the semifinals. The second match up in the quarter finales were the Taipei Assassins and NaJin Sword. Similarly to Moscow 5, Taipei Assassin's shut down NaJin Sword 2-0, sending them packing and advancing themselves to the semi-finals. The third match was Azubu Frost against team Solo Mid, and Azubu Frost won 2 times in a row to shut down TSM. The last group in the quarter finals were Counter Logic Gaming and World Elites. After losing the first match, CLG pulled off 2 wins in a row to secure themselves in the semi finals. In the semi final rounds, Moscow 5 started off strong against Taipei Assassin's, but unfortunately were destroyed 2 games in a row. CLG suffered a similar fate to Azubu Frost and now Taipei Assassin's are scheduled to go head to head with Azubu Frost on Saturday October 13 in an arena of skill, strategy, and destruction.
