Free Lunch #67

Hello there you inklings of thought. Today is Tuesday which means it’s time for another Free Lunch! If you don’t know what Free Lunch is, I just type for five minutes about whatever I want to talk about. It’s allegedly posted twice a week, but that hasn’t really been happening for the last few months.

Starting at 2:05.

As I think I’ve said a lot of times before, there’s no real reason for me not posting for these long stretches of time. I just don’t do it. I suppose I would just rather do something else a lot of the time.

On the Piano, I’m learning Gymnopédie No. 1 by Eric Satie, which has influenced me for a long time. I’m not quite sure where I first heard it, but I’m pretty sure this song has been around me for a while. I never really realized until recently but one of the reasons it probably feels so close to me is because of how much it touched the Minecraft music. Some of my favorite songs on Volume Alpha seem heavily influenced by this one ambient piano piece. One of the songs I’ve been working on composing for a while has been mistaken for a Minecraft song by a lot of my friends because of how it’s similar in form. I think that Gymnopédie No. 1 has been indirectly inspiring me through the form of a video game that I started playing around 2013.

In slightly more embarrassing news that also has to do with Minecraft, I was playing on a Pokémon server the other day when the Youtuber PopularMMOs was on and got a shout-out to like 15 million subscribers. Here’s a link that starts around when he said my name.

The high E string of my guitar snapped and I haven’t been able to get it fixed yet, so there hasn’t been much progress made on my Smiles and Tears/Home arrangement.

I’ve gone way over the time limit that I normally set for myself, but I’m going to stop writing now.

Thanks for reading all the way down to the very bottom of this post, I’ll see you in the next one!

Baiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Happy 2017 Everybody! Plus 299 Followers!

*cheers*

For the record, we are actually only at 299 followers, so i’m not sure why Jamie put out that post saying we were at 300 lol.

But for the amazing milestone of 299, I’ve noticed something amazing. Today, go and check your computer to see what the date is. It will say 1/1/17, in meaning how 1+1+17*15.7368421053=299. Isn’t that a crazy coincidence, that OUR blog is at 299 followers, and that simple math sentence of the date equals 299?

Heheh, horrible jokes aside, thanks for bringing me this far guys.

Alas, it’s time for a poll!

For the New Year, i’m reviving two series! And you guys get to vote on which ones are resurrected from the grave :D. You get three votes apiece because WordPress wouldn’t let me give you two..

Whichever two series have the most votes in three days get to come back for weekly or biweekly posting!

Thanks for reading to the bottom and don’t forget to vote ;D

Baiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

 

How To: Get a Particle Trail in Minecraft!

Hello sheeples, today I’ll show you how to get your very own particle trail in Minecraft!

It’s a very easy thing to do, but i’ll give you a step-by-step process for those new to commands. And if you don’t care at all about Minecraft or particle trails, then find another post 😀

Step 1: Do /give @p repeating_command_block

Step 2: Place the block and open it by right clicking (on a PC)

Step 3: Right click (PC again) the big black box, and paste the command (which is below) in it.

Step 4: Right click (by this time you should obviously know this is for PC) the button that says Needs Redstone once, so it is on Always Active.

Step 5: Enjoy your particle trail!

Here’s the command you need to put in:

execute @p ~ ~ ~ /particle reddust ~ ~ ~ 0.5 0 0.5 1 100

You can substitute ‘reddust’ for something like ‘heart’, ‘flame’, or ‘droplet’.

If you want me to work on getting a very specific particle for you, just comment and ask! Thanks a bunch for reading to here, and

Baiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Ramen Noodles and Kubo

HELLO YA PEOPLE READING ME, today we have a life post, which we haven’t had in far too long. I’m about to leave Oak Ridge as I type this, but I figured I would have enough time and WiFi to get it out. The other day, I tried Ramen Noodles for the first time, and now I’m in love with ’em. I drank most of the broth last night :O. Yes, I know they are really bad for you, but I’m assuming that I’ll probably never get to have them outside of Oak Ridge because we’ve never eaten them at my house. Who knows, maybe i’ll start a Ramen Noodle trend in Nashville :D.

Also, we went to see Kubo and The Two Strings last night, which was reallllllllllllllllllllllly good. Basically, it’s a movie about a kid who can play his strings instrument and turn normal origami alive! He has to go on some quests and stuff, there are sad parts, and it got a NINETY-SIX percent on Rotten Tomatoes.. How does that even happen?? I would call hacks, but it’s such a good movie that I actually believe it got that review legitimately.

In Fallen Human news, I got really stuck, trying to figure out how to make the King stop his attacks once you die, so you don’t just respawn and he’s still shooting stuff at you. If it was that way, it wouldn’t matter whether or not you died, the attacks would just continue and he would lose without you having to do anything but die. Graystalk, a fellow planet-minecrafter, helped me find a some commands that would work for my situation. So all’s good there.

Sanstale is tearing out my eyes.

That’s about all that’s happening to me right now, what about you?

Fallen – Minecraft Adventure Map

Hello there ya majestical bears, today I’m going to be talking to you about a new minecraft adventure map I’m making.

As you may remember, my computer became unusable about a year ago after I got a bunch of viruses due to a bad file. About two weeks ago, I restored it to factory defaults, so now it’s spiff ‘n span for video games! As you most likely already know if you read my posts regularly, I already have a few games on my computer (Undertale, Comedy Quest, Heroes Must Die, ect). And I decided to redownload Minecraft just so I could play Plug Pack with these guys. I was inspired to make an adventure map, because I haven’t in a really, really, really, reaaaallllllllly, long time. You can view the project HERE but you can also just stay on this page and read.

The premise is of an explorer who accidentally falls down a trap, and wakes up in the Kingdom of Rudd, an underground community, full of puzzles and funnyish thoughts. Also, just so you should know, it’s very inspired by Undertale, as that game effected me a lot. The map isn’t available for download yet, and to give you an idea of how much has been done at FIFTY-FIVE percent done, here’s a picture..

So many hours in those command blocks..

Ridiculous, I know. I’ve already worked about 4 hours on it over the last 5 or 6 days, and I plan on making the map about a 30-45 minute complete play-through.

One of the unique things that is making it take so long is the multiple endings, which makes everything very confusing. I plan on having 5 different ends by the time I’m done, and I’m taking suggestions for any NPCs you want in the map 😀

Writing The Longest Post Of ALL TIME!!

For those of you who don’t remember back when I started this in May, I decided I was going to write the longest post on Rileys Backpack yet. As of finishing this prologue right now, the final word count is 2134.

So that’s right, you read me. Today we are going to see if we can write the longest post of all time about everything I can scour my brain to write about while I’m doing this.. So let’s start, the time is 12:37, and I’m in Math Class. We were doing Map Testing but I finished it yesterday.

So.

Now I pretty much have the entire period to do whatever it is I wish to do.

I’ve been thinking and I’m wondering if there is any website you can use that is specifically geared towards writers featuring their writings live, like as they type it their followers can watch the page, see them develop ideas and such. Anyways I just thought it would be kind of cool. NEXT!!

So I’ve been practicing a lot of soccer after school now, and I figured out a way to build your stamina each day magnificently! I call it, the Cheestamina Effect!! Which sounds incredibly stupid because I just came up with it on the spot. Wait, scratch that name, let’s just call it “the thing from the swamp”. I’ve been using the thing from the swamp to help improve my stamina greatly. So here’s how the thing from the swamp works. I have a big back and front yard. I measured a distance from a telephone pole to a fence and its 90 feet (or 30 meters [pretty much]) So basically one run from the telephone pole and to the fence and back is one lap. For someone who was previously so unfit (such as myself), you have to start with a small number, like 7 or 9. So run that, then the next day run one more lap than before. Then one more the next. And so on. I’m at a really high number, so most days im running the equivalent of half a mile. Think about it. There and back is 180 feet, and a mile is 5210. So running only 14 is 2520, which is only a bit off of a half a mile. So if you do this, after a couple of days of stopping eating junk food and running with this system, you’ll be as fit as a fiddle. NEXT!!!!

I don’t know if I have mentioned this yet, but I am reading the Maze Runner series, and I’m on the Kill Order. I’m not going to spoil it, but all I have to say is (Spoiler Alert—– WHY DOES NEWT HAVE TO DIE ;-;—– Spoiler Alert) Sorry if you saw that before reading the spoiler alert. *sobs* I didn’t care about all the other people who die. NEXT!!

So a while ago me and my brother and sister started watching the show Lost, which is a drama about people who crash on a mysterious island. There are a ton of really interesting characters, and the best part about it is all the plot twists. In every season there is something new to fret about. The Others (the island’s natives)! The Hatch (4 8 15 16 23 42)! Charles Whitmore (Evil billionaire)!

That’s 500 Words.

And here’s another spoiler.. Up ahead… I highly recommend that if you haven’t seen the show you steer clear of the next sentence. I’m serious. Stop reading. I want you to watch the show and if you keep reading this you will never be able to enjoy it. Last warning. Why does Charlie have to die?? He could have just waltzed out, closed the stupid door and told Desmond himself that it’s not her boat. It was meaningless death! WHYY!!!

NEXT!!!!

I’m getting a bit tired of typing, I’ve been doing this for a good 20 minutes and i’m going to just continue this later. Also in the mean time i’ll post something about advertising in this post. Just like all special posts and everything more than five minutes long, it needs advertisement breaks to keep your skull from exploding. Welp, i’ll be back in a bit. Signing off at 650 words.

May 11th, 2016, 11:23

Heyo I’m back with the longest post of all time and now I have an advertisement to log into this so once I think the time is right i’ll add it in.

And

The

Time

Is

NOOOOWWWW
Ever wished you could find a good blog out there that posts reviews, tutorials, and gameplay a about all different kinds of games? Well then check out my blog at http://www.fnblogging.wordpress.com for the ultimate gaming experience!

Yea so there ya go Brandoboy. Today I’m going to be talking about absolutely nothing. I’m getting a bit (AKA EXTREMELY) bored of writing this. I feel like I should just import some material from before, but I can’t do that cause this has to be brand new writing. As you all know, I used to avidly play Minespud (a minecraft server with bending). The reason I stopped posting about it isn’t good. The server shut down and now I have nothing to do on minecraft, and because of this, I’ve pretty much stopped playing it for the time being. If any of you can think of a server I can play with factions and that isn’t too big, please recommend it in the comments below. Of course most of you won’t ever actually read this because your just going to read the top of the page, scroll waaaaay down to the bottom, and say “Oh yea I read it all!”. So if you actually read this bit in the middle, then say so by typing “Just 2 More” in the comments. Dang that’s 900 I’m getting reaaaaaal tired of writing this post.

I think i’ll go to a thousand and then stop for today. So. Clash of Clans. In this game, the clan Polar Cheese still thrives and we are getting really good at war. We are on a war win streak of 4 right now, and we are presently wrecking the next clan so soon it will be at 5. I’ve set up a new system to show who is the most important, War MVP and Donating Champ. I continuously win Donating Champ, and I try to pass around War MVP. That’s 1014 and I’m signing off for today. The time is 11:33.

I’m back, and it’s June 4th at 10:58 PM. I should probably be sleeping though. I’m on a pretty big losing streak on Clash Royale. But aside from that I’m in South Carolina right now, the night before the family reunion where there’s tons of food and family! I’m staying at my Great-Uncles house, and there’s wifi and cable 😌 xD. But yea there’s not much to talk about anymore. The dog that’s in this house starting freaking out earlier barking and he woke my brother and sister up. Such loudness :P. But he went to my moms room so were good now. I’m getting tired so I’m gone for now, cya signing off at 11:02!!

Jeez it’s Been months, I’m still doing this? Uhh

It’s now August 13th, i’m just here to add some to this forever going project. I plan to stop once we hit 5,000 words. But hey, thats probably not going to happen until next year. At the moment, I am working on LOTE (Land of The Elves). I’ve got the story and everything down, and by the time this post comes out, the game might be finished xD. Jamie has Undertale on his computer, we are doing Pacifist, and last night we got past Papyrus! Then we dated him..

My current interests are Twenty One Pilots, Undertale, Rileys Backpack, and jacksepticeye. On Pokemon Go, I am level 16, and my best current pokemon is a 1095 Vaporeon. Brendan is working on music for LOTE, and i’m about to go get a sandwhich. I’m getting ready to delete some pages, cause they are irrelevant. Pages like Video Games (And Other Games), and Clash of Clans War Records. I might restart War Records later once I have more war stuff to talk about. At the moment, our clan has a war win streak of 2 and it’s about to be 3 :D.

Welp, i’ll be back in a bit after my sandwich. I’m going to let my sister type in PINK.

HEY GO TO MY BLOG thepinkspace1 NOW.LIKE.SUBSCIBE. HI HI HI HI HI HI HI HI HI HI HI HI OBI IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO  CUTE I MISS WIFI DO U HAVE WIFI ———– LOL =D =D =D =D =D =D LOL .     OMG         OMG

Well that was weird. And it took her 10 minutes to do that… Do you mind if I just copy and paste something I wrote previously xD thats like 1,000 words? No.. I have to stay strong. Today I got 200 words done ;-;

BUT I”M NOT DONEEEE. whya why did that text turn gray lol. I never clicked for it to turn gray. I have to go for now.

3:50 August 13th. Here’s some LOTE details. Beware, kinda spoilers.

Area 1 is the House

In Area 1, you are Inside a house with thunderstorms raging outside, and your brother talking to you about how bored he is. He is younger than you , and his name is Prosper. He laughs, telling you he would find something to do. When he walks out of the room, the game explains the controls. On the wall is a drawing of Dum Cheese. The closet is full of clothes. There are two beds in the room, one is messy and one is clean. If you try to interact with the bed, you hear a growl. The hallway is mostly empty, aside from the blue rainbow painting. There are three doors, one leads to the kitchen, one to the basement, and one with Prospers speech bubble coming from, which is the bedroom. You are able to explore the house, but the basement door is locked. The key is hidden in a kitchen drawer, but the basement only holds a pingpong table, with a note on top and two paddles. To read note please see A1N1. The paddles can be picked up. If you go into the basement then leave, Prosper yells for you again, this time saying, ‘Hurry Up! What are you doing that’s so important??’

If you go back into the kitchen, in the drawer next to the oven, there is a totally dark photograph. For more information on that see A1P1. Also, stuck to the fridge is a note, which you can find more about at in A1N2. Once you (FINALLY) go into the next bedroom that Prosper is in, you see him making a suprised face at an elf who popped out of the sheets of the bed. He starts to talk in a language you don’t understand, and draws a blade, although he looks nervous about using it. Prosper backs away slowly, and you are given an option to fight him, offer him your lollipop, or back away. If you fight him, combat begins. If you offer him the lollipop, he grins in delight and crawls back under the covers. If you back away, he walks towards you uttering the same strange tounge, and you are forced into combat. Once you either defeat him, or bribe him away, your brother Prosper jumps into the bed and disappears under the covers. If you stay in the room for more than 30 seconds, once you go in, he asks what took you so long. You can either stay silent or say I was scared.

End of Area 1. Continue in Area 2.

That puts us at nearly 2000 words so far. Cya later…

It’s 3:24 August 26th. Looking back at that LOTE thing I put down, I kinda regret doing that, because this is posting sooner than one might think. But it’s not going to matter anyways because it’s gonna be a really long time until LOTE actually comes out. I mean, it doesn’t make any difference anyways, because nothing is really important in Area 1. Area 2 however..

I just wanna put this at 2,000 words, schedule it for next week and move on. I’m at 1970. Keep talking. Just gotta finish this strong! agh I have nothing to say to you. SAVE ME PINK FLUFFY UNICORNS!!

pink fluffy unicorns dancing on rainbows

pink fluffy unicorns dancing on rainbows

AND WE DID IT WERE AT SOME NUMBER ABOVE 2000. I feel bad about this because I look in my reader and see some of my writer friends do like 12,000 words in a post, which is insane, at least for me.

Welp thanks for reading, leave a comment if you want your ad put on. But other than ads i’m done with this. I feel if I had have put more work into this it would have been much longer, but instead I worked on it like every other two weeks. Nonetheless,

Baiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Rileys Backpack MCPE Survival E2: A House!

Although it’s not a lava house, I got a house. So last episode at the end I left a preview that I would build my house on top of a pool of lava. I immediately ran into a few problems while trying to do that. I’ll give you a list at the end, but for now, here is the episode of writing.

After discarding the idea of a lava house, I decided I would build a water house instead! I run up to the surface and mine about 2 stacks of logs, which I then convert into a mixture of wooden planks, stairs, and slabs. I start to build the house. First I start with the foundation of it, then add the walls, then I went and gathered some sand from the nearby beach and waited 10 minutes to get all my windows. So I grab them, punch out the pieces of wood I don’t need, and add the windows. Now comes the hard part, the roof.

So I spend about 20 minutes up on the roof, frantically messing about with the pocket edition controls, falls off every thirty seconds. I run into the small problem of my roofs shingles covering the top half of my windows. I go into my house mine the windows, redo them, go back up, continue to make the roof. When I finish this is the final result of the house! 

(Alone with this extra sign that tells you where the house is)

But literally, right after taking the picture, a creeper emerges from under the house and blows up the majority of the steps and some of the foundation.

 (5 minutes of work, gone)

I leave to go chop some more wood, I turn it into assorted wood products, and then I use the wood products to redo the stairs and foundation. Here’s the inside of the house. 

I was able to move my pile of resources (chest, two furnaces, crafting table, bed) into the house so that they are all safe now. 

PS I hatched the eggs, got nothing 😦

NEXT TIME ON Rileys Backpack MCPE Survival:

Farm time 😀

Rileys Backpack MCPE Survival E1: LUCKY

So I’m back from playing my first half hour of my new blogging world on Minecraft Pocket Edition survival. 

Let me tell you though, I had a really hard time getting the world to work. Maybe it’s the new MCPE menus, maybe I’m an idiot, but the first time I made the world, it was creative, after I explicitly clicked survival,  second time I changed it to survival, and I spawned wo an inventory full of creative blocks, so it took me another couple minutes pouring all that into the luckily after that I figured out how to make it right, refreshed the world, and started this lovely episode.

Lettuce begin.

I spawn. At first I think I’m on an island (mind yells, SCORE) after a couple minutes of pottering about, I realize I’m just on a peninsula (mind yells, SHOOT). I grab the basics, including a furnace, crafting table, and some charcoal and start to mine down. 

But before I went, I took a selfie!

I’m mining down and I make a stone pickaxe and OH WOWZA I DISCOVER A CAVE 😀

I find it by listening to a skeletons bones rattling around. I get there and start to fit the skeleton, but I hear a creeper behind me, turn around to see the creeper expanding, and like a coward, I go into the menu and turn it to peaceful.

But hey, I mean what would you have done. I continue into the cave, finding this death trap waiting to happen

I continue on into the cave, but I make a handy arrow just in case I lose which way I came in.

So I keep going, make some iron stuff, and find a lava pool that will serve as an excellent easy option when I decide to go to the nether. But then AHA LOOK!!

I proceed to bild a little cobble bridge over, I mine the diamonds, and it’s three which is pretty good. After that I nerdpole up to find another cavish thing but it goes deeper down. I sprint through and find, 8 more diamonds!

I do that, but in the process activate one of the “death traps” mentioned earlier. I start to suffocate but luckily I had a shovel from earlier annoying gravel.

So I mine all that crap out and get the diamonds, which turns out to be 8 more! So in half an hour I managed to start with 21 iron and 11 diamonds. 

NEXT TIME ON Rileys Backpack MCPE Survival:

I plan to build a house on this pool of lava 🙂

The Most Popular Post of ALL TIME!!

Today I am here to talk to you about the most popular post of all time, and no, it isn’t this one. This is actually really strange, because it’s an abandoned project from years ago. But apparently it is a post I have written that has amassed literally hundreds of views on its own, and pops up occasionally in my daily views. I give you,

Minecraft Total Drama Map!!!

So it’s a preview of a minecraft map that I made that was tagged:

Competitive Map, Cartoon Network, Minecraft, Total Drama

And that somehow amassed 371 views. That’s all for this edition of, ALL TIME!!

P. S. If any of these records are undermined i’ll make a new post!!

Posting Schedule (and reactivation)

Yes that’s right I am finally reactivating as an author! Because I am about to leave for summer holiday (sorry, I love sounding British), and next year I won’t have that much work I will be able to post a lot and hopefully get a lot of action on this blog.

Plans:

I have plans for this blog. Big plans.

Creepiness aside, I have a list of goals for the blog.

Cheesy Merch

I am hoping that eventually we will have enough support and enough fans to justify a Cheesy Shop. Cheesy T-Shirts, Cheesy Cups, and Cheesy Posters.

Mmmmm…cheese *drooling sound*

But if we get enough fan support and enough interest in it, then you can have your very own Cheesy Merch. Leave a comment about your thoughts on the merch and any Cheesy suggestions.

Posting Everyday

This is one of the most important things on this 2 thing list. I will try to be active and hilarious to generate attention for this blog and it’s authors. My Schedule (subject to change) is as follows.

Monday: Status Update and Announcements

Tuesday: Clash and/or Minecraft posts and Updates on YouTube

Wednesday: Series! I am planning a lot of series on YouTube (hint hint) and Wednesday will be our series day. But don’t worry! I will also be doing more series episodes, so keep reading!

Thursday: Just Posts :(. Yeah, even amazing middle-schooler’s have their limits.

Friday: Mystery Day! That’s right Cheeses, you have NO IDEA what is going to happen on Friday. You don’t know whether it’s going to be on Riley’s Backpack (Follow this blog to see if it’s here) on my or Riley’s YouTube channel’s (Follow those too) or on the bumper of a 95 Camaro (send to Cheese HQ, we’ll check).

Saturday: Break Day! I might post if I get likes on my other posts.

Sunday: YouTube Day! Another series video or a Let’s Play.

So that is my unnecessarily long post.
