    ALL THE POKEMON

    By Eeko,

    So I beat ALBW, which while fantastic, was a little short.
    Then I went and bought Pokemon X.
    First time I've really played Pokemon since Red and FireRed.
    Hooboy, there's a lot to catch up on.
    And Lumiose is so big and hard to maneuver through on roller skates.
    Right now my team is Greninja, Lucario, Charmeleon, Ralts, Skiddo, and a Pikachu.

    Dark Souls

    By Eeko,

    Hey everyone, Dark Souls is on sale on Steam for six bucks. Go grab one of the greatest games ever made.
     
    (Minor modding required)

    Link Between Worlds

    By Eeko,

    This game is so much fun. Also the zelda 3ds xl is super pretty.
    Since I have a 3DS, I guess I'll go ahead and put my friend code out there:
     
    3024-6350-4310
     
    As a side effect of Zelda, I have yet to watch either pony or doctor who.
    So I'll go back to avoiding the internet 'till I watch those.

    What's been up

    By Eeko,

    So I guess I should update this thing a bit. Seeing as I've been away for a while.
     
    Let's see. First of all, for all you who started college this semester, especially those who chose the illustrious Physics major. Don't worry. Sophomore year is much harder.
     
    I'm in an electronics course that started with only seven people, two of which dropped it due to grades.
     
    Aside from that though, I'm still loving Physics, and tutoring might be one of the most rewarding things I've ever done. The class I tutor is basically Phys 101 for Chem and Bio majors. So slightly easier, but not by much. It's a lot of fun to tutor though, it's one of the high points of my week. Plus I get paid. Which is nice.
     
    As far as games I've beaten this semester
    Dark Souls (Easily in top 5 games ever)
    Bioshock 2
    Half-Life
    The Walking Dead
    Bioshock Infinite
    Spec Ops: The Line
     
     
    Also I've prordered the Zelda 3DS XL because OMIGOSH ITS SO PRETTY HAVE YOU SEEN IT?!?!
    I'm super pumped for that. Especially since I haven't had a handheld since the GBA came out. Maybe I'll finally be able to play the DS Zeldas. Also Pokemon X. Because Mega Charizard X.
     
    Also, I guess I hit my 5th BZP-verssiary a while back. Huh. Oh well, Olmak is still my least favorite spinny.
     
    Anyways, I should get back to writing that ten page paper that's due Wednesday. Along with the Physics also due Wednesday. And the Calc test Tuesday.
    I'm a little swamped over here.

    Back to School

    By Eeko,

    Headin' back to school tomorrow.
    Expect activity to drop while I figure out a new schedule.
     
    It's looking like a hectic semester for me. The head of the Physics department personally asked me to be a tutor for one of his classes, so I'm super pumped about that.

    Praise the Sun!

    By Eeko,

    So I played Dark Souls a lot today.
    I started yesterday, and I finally managed to beat a Black Knight. I'm a Pyromancer, because fire.
     
    Also, I beat Battletoads last night.
    I felt so accomplished.
    It was exhilarating.
    I don't even.
     
    I celebrated my watching My Neighbor Totoro for the first time.
    Good movie.
     
     
    As a side effect of all this, I didn't check Staff Survivor all day, and managed to lose The Clikit Supertramps' immunity.

    How did I not see this

    By Eeko,

    Equestria Girls has the exact same plot as the first half of the second Panty and Stocking episode.
    Like...exactly.
     
    Complete with high-school 'queen' turning into a winged demon outside the school.

    I can't believe it

    By Eeko,

    So I've been on a NES kick recently I played through Castlevanias 1 and 3. (I refuse to touch Simon's Quest)
    However, I just beat the Turbo Tunnel stage on Battletoads.
    I've never done that before.
    I feel so freakin' accomplished, that I'm gonna go eat a pizza.
     
    Wait, wrong anthropomorphic fighting green team.
  15. Eeko
    So I've been having fun with modular origami, and thought I'd share with y'all what I've been doing.
     
    First up is this guy.
     
    In the family of Icosidodecahedra, this is the Compound of Five Tetrahemihexahedra (yes, that's its actual name).
    30 sheets used in this one.
     
    Next, is the Enigma Cube!
    I'm particularly fond of this thing. Mine is kinda sloppy though.
    The neat thing about this one is it has an illusory cube inside.
    It's kinda hard to tell with that picture, so here's an awful gif.
    Link
    Aren't I amazing at photography.
    Anyways, 6 sheets for this guy.
     
     
    Lastly, we have this monster.
    Say hello to the Truncated Icosahedron, also known as a buckyball.
    This one needed a full 90 sheets, and several, several hours to make.
     
     
    Here's one last group shot for some size comparison.

    Coming back maybe?

    By Eeko,

    So I feel like being more active here again. Maybe. We'll see how it goes.
    Either way, I finally changed my christmas theme.
    I've told by multiple people that I am, in fact, Dipper Pines. So I figured this would be appropriate.
     

     

     
    Also, I've been listening to so much Punch Brothers. And nothing could be better.
     
    Also also, I got to see Caravan Palace live a week or so ago. It was pretty sick. Their violinist is insane.

    Hey there...

    By Eeko,

    So it seems I haven't been around a lot recently, as shown by my still having a christmas themed avatar.
     
    So, basic life update:
    Finished freshman year of college! Yay! Party time all around!
    That's pretty much it! I haven't been able to get a job this summer, although not for lack of trying. I swear I must've applied to every business in the area.
     
     
    Now for the kinda bummer reason I started this entry.
     
    I just found out that my family hasn't been able to make the mortgage payments on our house, and as such, we have to sell it and move out within the next six months.
    For me, this means that when I leave in August for school, it'll be the last I see of my childhood home. This is gonna be pretty rough, so please, keep me and my family in your thoughts and/or prayers.
    I'm not entirely sure how this is gonna work out.
     
    Sorry for coming back with such a bummer post. :/

    Behind Blue Eyes II

    By Eeko,

    Note, don't read this unless you've read part 1!
     
     
     
    So, first I'll explain the reasoning behind the answer to the first question.
     
     
     
     
    That's the reasoning. Sorry if I explained it poorly.
     
    Now, this doesn't answer the second question, it still seems like the Guru gives no information. So what's to stop the above cycle from just occuring spontaneously. What does the Guru say to start it off?
     
     
     
     
     
     
    So there you have it.
    It's a little tough to get your head around, plus I'm pretty bad at explaining through text.
    So if you've got any doubts or questions, please ask!

    Behind Blue Eyes...

    By Eeko,

    Alternate Title: Brown-eyed girl.
     
     
    Sorry to disappoint you guys, (or in a few cases a...ppoint? i don't if that's how that word works), but this entry is about math, not music.
    Or, more accurately, it's about logic. Which is just math, but with more numbers.
     
    So, I recently rediscovered the blue eyes puzzle, in all of its mystical wonder.
    The problem goes a little something like this: (quote stolen from Randall Munroe. Please don't sue me.)
    The answer to this problem is a lot harder to find, and a lot weirder than you would initially think. Think about it for a while, if you solve it before you crack and look at the spoiler below then you're one of the best logicians in the world. Good job. 
     
     
     
    I can hear you through your computer screen.
    "What!?" you say, speaking aloud instead of typing like a normal person. "This Eeko guy doesn't make any sense? He's terrible at logic!"
    Well, you're right. I'm not making any sense, and I'm pretty bad at logic. But it's still right.
     
    However, this is not actually what this entry is about.
    This entry is about the follow up question:
    "What new information did the Guru give?"
     
    This question is a little easier to find, but a little harder to prove definitively.
    When you think about it, the Guru doesn't seem to give any new information. I mean, everyone one on the island can see blue eyed people, so why does having the Guru say it change anything?
     
     
    So here is my challenge to you guys and girls.
    Answer the above question.
    It's much easier to solve it than the first question. (I was able to after much thought and a little hair pulling.)
    I'll post the answer tomorrow.
    Or maybe the day after, to give y'all more time.
     
    I thought it was fun to work through, so you should give it a shot.
    Peace.
     
    P.S. I think this is the most words I've had in a blog post before. Woohoo.

    Is it just me...

    By Eeko,

    Or do Westeros and Equestria look earily similar?
     


    If you say the top of Equestria's map marks the neck, some cities and landmarks even line up.
    Are cutiemarks and sigils just two sides of the same coin?
    Probably.

    Hey guys

    By Eeko,

    You should go check out the BZPowercast. I answer your questions.
    And make a poetry reference.
     
     
    Also, since the holiday season is ending, I need some help deciding a new banner.
     

     

     
     
    They're both so cool.
