DreamSail games and Sony are bringing battlebots to your home this August with their new title Blade Ballet. DreamSail describes this game as a whirling dance of multiplayer robot destruction in which each bot possesses a unique personality and special abilities. Players must master their abilities to claim victory while spinning from one challenging arena to the next, battling for dominance. It sounds like I'll finally get to build an awesome battle robot without knowing a single thing about robotics. All I know is we are going to need more saw blades and a large hammer! Believe it or not this game does have a bit of a backstory to it. Apparently after the crumbling of civilization and the extinction of the human race, mysterious automatons
It’s a Sunday afternoon and the whole family is over at grandmother’s house playing a fun game of pickup baseball until they realize they do not know how to hit a baseball. Luckily it is a rather simple process that can easily be taught and learned.
“All these memories will be lost, in time, like tears in the rain” the end of one of “the most moving death soliloquies in cinematic history” the replicant Roy Batty explains to his would be killer that everything in his life(Mark Rowlands Philosopher at the end of the Universe 234-235). This is one of the most telling speeches of the replicant Roy Batty in his search for himself. Throughout this semester, in the study for the self, one question has endured, whether each person has a built-in, authentic self, each person strives to identify, or whether each person is “free” to develop their self through their own personal experiences. Both sides to the question have evidence to support their beliefs about the self in every human, and whether it is one consistent self, or it
Many students who are enrolled in FFA are already heading in the right direction to a bright future. FFA has many career benefits within the program. Any of the career development events (CDE’s) have something that will tie to a career in agriculture or to a career of other sorts. According to the National FFA Organization, “FFA members embrace concepts taught in agricultural science classrooms nationwide, build valuable skills through hands-on experiential learning and each year demonstrate their proficiency in competitions based on real-world agricultural skills”(“Statistics”). There are so many careers that tie into FFA, and many of them have to do with agriculture. Not every career that has to do with agriculture is about farming. There are so many different aspects of the agriculture industry that many people never think twice about. Most people are not interested in agriculture because they think it is just about farming or
By universal definition, "sport" is listed as "an activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively." Football, basketball, baseball, soccer and other primary activities have always been concretely defined as sports in society. However, one of the most physically demanding activities is constantly forgotten when it comes to the realm of sports- dance. Dance requires a tremendous amount of training and creates an aura of competition in which people compete to be the best, win, and take home the trophy- just like in traditionally accepted sports. These sports, however, do not possess an element of psychological health threats that some competitive dancers unfortunately must account for due to the emphasis placed on physical appearance.
Have you ever felt stuck? Wherever you are, it’s the absolute last place you want to be. In the book Into the Wild, Chris McCandless feels stuck just like the average everyday person may feel. Chris finds his escape plan to the situation and feels he will free himself by going off to the wild. I agree with the author that Chris McCandless wasn’t a crazy person, a sociopath, or an outcast because he got along with many people very well, but he did seem somewhat incompetent, even though he survived for quite some time.

Enduring great torment and pain, Dante continues on his jourThroughout time there have been countless novels about the struggles and conflicts of man and how a hero overcomes these challenges. Best novels of their times, All Quiet On the Western Front and Dante’s Inferno have many similarities as well as differences.

On September 2nd, I experienced one of the most enjoyable folk dances, known as contra dance, at the First Baptist Church. Due to my cultural and religious background, this experience was new to me and full of mystery. However, it led me to wonder how social music, especially contra dance, is powerful enough letting strangers dance and communicate with each other in a perfect harmony.
Thesis: Othello was a noble and valiant man who believed in seeking out the proof before accusation. He had been beguiled by his confidant, Iago; he used Machiavellian tactics to persuade Othello into believing that his loving wife, Desdemona, made him a cuckold. Iago was successful; Othello believed all the lies he was fed. As a result, he became inarticulate, rash and barbaric; losing all sense of rationality.
Chauffeur companies are an appealing and are becoming of interest for busy families. As stated by Shuddle CEO Nick Allen, “During the back-to-school season we are seeing lots of interest and demand is building.” Using chauffeur companies is becoming exceedingly popular when kids’ and parents’ schedules don’t line up.

7. Stop Trying To Live Traditionally You may want a traditional life, and that is fine, but most of us need to get out of the conventional way of living to become a better version of ourselves.

Your friends, parents, and peers that are living traditionally will judge you and try to make you feel as though you are not living life in the 'right ' way.
In today's society, should the quote "an eye for an eye" be put to use? I believe that we should proceed with the eye for an eye because maybe it would stop all the crime that is happening today. facts are that "In 2014, America had a violent crime rate of 365.5 per 100,000 residents and a murder rate of 4.5."

On June 13th, I participated in a Young Debaters Program with other students from our school competing against various junior high schools in a debate contest. I arrived too early, was wearing a far too casual dress, and was walking in extremely painful shoes. I had butterflies in my stomach and I felt terrible. The debate was absolutely awful, but the experiences I had with my friends during and after the debate were some of the most memorable occurrences of my 7th grade year.
