Image Credit: Nintendo Hello, guys, this is Arca. Last night, I was running down the stairs in the dark after my mom and Onur told me to rush downstairs to see a recently gone-viral funny video of some Italian priest guy who accidentally kept on activating flashy filters while doing a Facebook Live prayer livestream that was being held due to the coronavirus. But on the way to the living room, I made a sharp turn against the white portion of the wall at the very bottom that's pointy at a very high speed. I yelled in pain and skipped on one foot to the nearest couch. Looking at my pinky toe (it's not graphic, don't worry), it was quite pinkish purple and was bent slightly, and it hurt a lot. I had to spend the rest of the day as well as the night putting my foot on ice and struggled to fall asleep. I woke up once, hoping that the night was nearly over, but I looked at a small watch put next to my bed which showed that it was still 2:41 AM. Today, I did my virtual sc...

Image Credit: Nintendo Before I get into the news (which is what most of you are here for, I know), here's two short paragraphs of me talking about how my day today has been. Today was my third day of online school, and I have to say while there were a few more stressful moments (namely, some tests and quizzes, one of which was open-book), it didn't change my opinion at all that I expressed on Monday's post that it was light-years better than my recent experiences of physically going to school. I even had "remote learning" gym class, or P.E., where I got to run around my neighborhood for half-an-hour, take a screenshot of my phone's health data of my steps and the distance I traveled, and then have a forty-minute break! The weather outside was pretty nice too, even if it wasn't the warmest it could have been. It definitely wasn't chilling, though, either. Then, when I got home I worked on my Python course on Codecademy for maybe forty-five mi...

It's the most wonderful time of the year.... With the gamers all playing and everyone telling you to ride the hype train... It's the most wonderful time of the year! It's the hype-hypiest season of all. With those leaks and rumors and speculative rambling when E3 comes by... It's the most wonderful time of the year! There'll be predictions to make and leaks to debunk and expectations to set... And tales of those failed E3's long, long ago... It's the most wonderful time of the year!  Oh, wait, are you guys reading this right now? Oh, sorry for my singing. It's just that I tend to get very festive this time of the year. *Ahem*. Where was I? Oh yeah, E3 2019 is finally here! The Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E3 for short, is the annual gaming convention and press conference where gaming studios and developers take the curtains off from some of their biggest game and console projects and announcements for the public! It's no boring selectio...

Hello, everyone! I haven't been posting very frequently, and lots of interesting stuff has happened recently. Now that it is officially the start of June (meaning that there are only about 20 more days until my school ends), I decided to drop a massive News Roundup post so that I could catch up on what I missed. We've got lots to talk about today, from celebrity deaths and birthdays to Star Wars theme parks and what Nintendo's been up to recently. So, without further ado, let's get RIIIIIIIIGHHHHT into the neeeeewwwwssssssss!!!!! The first batch of news is sad, unfortunately.  Peter Mayhew, the Chewbacca actor, has passed away :'( On April 30, 2019, Peter Mayhew died at the age of 75. He was best known for his role in most of the Star Wars films as the lovable wookie partner of Han Solo, Chewbacca. He warmed audience hearts all around the globe with his heartfelt depiction of the gentle giant, and his absence will long be felt in the hearts of fans ...
