Hello Wizards!

I hope you're having a wonderful almost end of Summer Vacation. I've been thinking about having another small Wizard101 event before classes start. If it's a large event like the last event, that would be awesome too. I will leave it up to you whether to attend or not.

When?

Where?

This event will not have contests because I want it to be more of a party before our long journey into school begins. I hope you all are still able to attend. :D I love having these events and since last December, I've found having events for the community has been a lot of fun. I hope you're having as much fun as I have when I host these events. Let's get one last awesome event before our next major Wizard101 Event, THE HALLOWEEN RUN, which will happen in late October. For this event, I will update this post later this week or early next week! Make sure to check back and mark your calendars. :)

Be sure to check back for any updates to this post. Until next time, I'll see you around the skyways. :D

Cheating Bosses Ideas

Hello Wizards!

I hope you're having a great weekend! My weekend has been very busy, but I'm still trying to take time out to make some interesting blog posts. :) Lately, I've been behind on questing in Wizard101 not only because I was busy, but also because I have no idea who cheating bosses are in the game. I'm sure many wizards that have fought all of the bosses know which ones cheat or not. I'm somebody that hasn't fought all bosses and I forget if certain bosses cheats or not.

My Ice Wizard has been questing through the end of Khrysalis for almost three months now. At one point I leveled almost five times because I didn't mind reading up if a boss cheated or not. I usually don't mind, but after a certain amount of levels it does get annoying to search up a bosses name on the internet to see if it cheats or not. I have a great idea that I've shared on Twitter many times in the past about the future of Wizard101's cheating and noncheating bosses.

• A Special Symbol: One idea that I have for the game is that Kingsisle adds a special symbol for Cheating Bosses. If we see this symbol, we will know to look it up on one of the awesome websites that provides guides to the community. 
• Special NameTags: Like the symbol, if it's not done a special nametag (or color of a bosses name) can easily be used to let us know whether to search up that certain boss. 

I'm sure many of you have already thought of these ideas for the game. I wanted to make this post to get the idea out there. I don't like searching up names if every boss cheats or not. Back in 2009, I quested through Dragonspyre without the worry that every single boss in that world cheated. Today if you quest through Polaris, there are many bosses (and quite a few that do cheat), and you have to search up each boss to see if it cheats or not. Please change this Kingsisle! Frost Giant is not happy about this.. :P That's my idea today... Thank you all for reading. Until next time, I'll see you around the spiral. :D

Seriously.. I told you Frost Giant wasn't happy! :P

Why I Deleted Pokemon Go: Likes/Dislikes

Hi there,

I usually don't make blog posts about games outside of Kingsisle games, but I decided to change that and make a post about Pokemon Go today. I downloaded Pokemon Go a few days ago to see why everyone was so addicted to the game and to my surprise I found out why everyone was.. I decided to make this post to let you know what I liked and didn't like about this new Mobile Game hit.

Likes:

Exercise: This game involves exercise such as walking and running if you're really want to catch a new Pokemon (or whatever they're called). Being Outside and exercising is good and can help you feel better.

Monument Information: I'm sure many of you have heard that you can visit monuments or special areas in your town and learn about these areas. Learning new things is a good thing and so is reading - so I will give an A+ to this app for that.


Dislikes: 

No Awareness of Surroundings: This game does let everyone know that they should be around their surroundings, but this game is proven addictive and people will read past that just to get to the game. In the news, I've heard: People walking out in the middle of traffic, car accidents - including a car crashing into a parked car, walking off cliffs, and many robberies (including a few near my town). I'm glad nobody was seriously injured in any of these incidents, but this game is a game that people today should not play if they're not able to pay attention to their surroundings. I didn't have an issue with that when playing this game, but I can tell why many do.

Reality Is The Best: I am not one to blast a game, but this game is not a game I'd play longterm. There is a beautiful and wonderful universe around us and I'm somebody that doesn't always look down and miss all of that. Remember to take a break from this game (if you do pay attention - please pay attention) and enjoy life itself. It's important to do that with any game. I love video games, but the best world that was ever made is Earth for us and the wonderful universe we live in. Enjoy that!


Why Did I Delete Pokemon Go?

I deleted Pokemon Go as a reminder that even though everyone is playing a certain game, that doesn't mean I have to play the game too. I also deleted it because I can tell it's a great game but I'm somebody that could easily not be aware of what I'm doing. I actually did skip past that be aware of your surrounding popup! I think this is great game for people that are ALWAYS aware of their surroundings and even though I feel like I am - this game is not for me. I usually don't download apps on my Cell Phone anyway because I only use it for calling & texting and that is it! That's all I have to share with you all today. Stay safe and don't forget that the best world/universe ever created is the one that we live in now. :D

My YouTube Channel

Hi there!

I've been thinking about adding more videos to my blog posts lately. I'm not going to make YouTube my main priority since I think typing on here is easier for me (not good at editing - shoutout to all of the YouTubers that are). I joined YouTube over five years ago but haven't been very active on there. I want to make YouTube videos of special moments so it's easier for you to see what I'm doing. One example:

I think it's a lot of fun casting new spells and attacks on both games. If I'm able to make it to a new world I will make sure I've uploaded a YouTube Video. I would also like to make videos of questing with a mic that I bought from Amazon a few months ago. I think it would make blogging different, but still a lot of fun. :) I'm not planning on making YouTube videos for all of my posts - only for a few special posts. IF you would like to subscribe to my YouTube Channel early, click anywhere on the image below to access my channel. By the way, thank you to all of those who voted on my recent poll. A majority of you wanted me to make more videos on my channel. This will be the beginning of that!
