I played a WHAT?

So, I was taking a Flash game making class, and on the last day, I was finished with my level (we were supposed to make 2 levels, but I was just finishing up my first level on the second to last day, so I didn't make a 2nd level.) and the guy that was teaching us had an Atari 2600 in his office, and he said we could play it once we were done and had our games burned onto disks so...
Yeah. I played it. The game in there is Pitfall, if you couldn't tell. I would've shown myself holding the joystick and all, but I was busy holding my laptop to make sure it wouldn't fall off the table.
Fun Fact: That TV is from K-Mart. It had a thing that said K-Mart in the place between the dials.
Fun fact #2: I found I was quite good with the joystick. I made it through a lot of screens before dying to the fourth set of crocodiles.
I played quite a few games, such as: Pitfall, E.T., Donkey Kong (kinda, sorta, not really, it was in there, and I had the joystick in my hand.), Adventure, and a few other titles whose names escape me.
And yes, the Atari worked quite well.

So...


My mom won't let me sleep in my bedroom.
The reason?
<--- That.











It's clean now, (I'm typing in that space ^) but my mom kicked me out because she wants to vacuum it. Yeah...


In other news, I have 20 subscribers on YouTube. Hooray! =)

One more thing...

I guess I haven't mentioned this, but my family moved to Utah a couple years back. That's all I had to say today.
Bye! =)

What is a blog but a place to complain about one's life?

Wow, that's a long title. Meh. So anyway, I'm gonna complain about my brother, Nate Merrill.

Usually, Nate is just a pain in the neck. He tries to injure me at any and all events that I attend that he goes to with mom and makes me look like the bad guy because he doesn't seem to understand that you aren't supposed to try and look cool by attacking your older sibling in front of the people that he knows. Then, after he fails in his attempts to attack me, he gets injured a little bit and starts sobbing. It's quite pathetic, really.

And today, after he did NOTHING for me, and gave up on the level of Super Mario Galaxy 2 that he died ONE TIME on, he comes into my room where I'm just happily sitting on the computer playing video games, and asks me for help. I do not want to help him with said level, so I decline. Then, Nate proceeds to go into mom's room and ask her to force me to help him. She makes me go in there, and threatens to ground me. Why? Because Nate is too lazy to do it for himself. I reluctantly agree to help Nate, but I certainly wasn't happy about it. I helped him get to the boss and then decided to revive this semi-dead blog by complaining about him.

On a completely unrelated note, I'll probably start blogging more often, and change the stuff on this blog for the first time in ??? months/years
