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!

Mobile Games #1

Hello there you soothing azure skies.

This is the very first edition of Mobile Games, which basically just means I update you on Pokémon Go, Clash Royale, and Clash of Clans.

Today is the end of an era for me. If you all don’t know (I may have forgotten to include it in a post), I got a 100 IV Machop a few months ago. I made it my buddy soon after, and eventually evolved it to Machoke. Now I have enough candy to evolve it. TIME FOR A YOUTUBE VIDEO GUYS!

Also I think I should mention that the day before yesterday I got to Level 27, and today I am halfway to Level 28..

This global event is awesome!

In Clash of Clans news, we won our last war against a Level 9 clan by what I assume was them giving up?

We got 20 stars in the first hour, so I wouldn’t blame them honestly.

On Clash Royale, I have been experimenting with the Night Witch, and i’ve made this deck, which kind of looks like a parody of my normal deck.

It’sot as good as my normal deck, but it’s still fun.

Thanks for reading this kinda short post, there might be a Free Lunch later today as well.

Pokemon Go – New Pokemon + Achievements

Hello there you killer kiosks. It’s time for another Pokemon Go post! 

Last time on Pokemon!

Riley shows new Pokemon and is then boring for the rest of the post!

And now, a quick summary of what’s to come in this post!

Riley shows new Pokemon and is then boring for the rest of the post!

Just like the real Pokemon show, all my Pokemon posts are boring and repetitive lol.

But now for real!

Since last time, I leveled up to 26.

Got the achievement for catching 2,000 Pokemon overall!

Got like 1 new Pokemon.

And got a medal for doing a little bit with the new gym system.

Here is my character dude right now, who looks pretty generic.

That’s all I have for you this time, so make sure to check back in like a week for another Pokemon post!

Free Lunch #27

Hello there you blue screens of death. It’s Friday, so that means it’s time for Free Lunch! If you don’t know what that means, I basically just type for 5 minutes without stopping on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Starting at 8:38.

I felt like I did a lot of things done today and did a great job with productivity, but looking back, all I really did was play music at the library, buy a video game on Steam, and get to Level 26 on Pokemon Go.

 This all sounds very feeble when I write it down like this, but it felt like a ton to me.

The video game in question is Kindergarten, which is a game that just got out of Early Access on June 15th! It was a contest between buying this or Rakuen, so next time I’m getting that. Unless I want to play To The Moon too much. Give me advice xD
At the library, I played mostly Guitar but some Piano for about 2 and a half hours. I know i’m going to get an Electric Guitar for my birthday so i’m really excited about that. In honor of this, send a request for me to cover a song with the new guitar.

Pls make them easy, I’m still bad at Guitar.

For example, something too hard would be Smells Like Teen Spirit or Bohemian Rhapsody. Just leave your suggestion and i’ll tell you if it’s possible for me.

Anyways, thanks for reading all the way down to the bottom of this post :3

Pokemon Go – Easter Eggstravaganza Pt. 1

Hello there you Kujikesou Ni Naru Watashi Wo Sasaete Kudasai’s. Today I have a Pokemon Go post as the title implies. 😉

 My mom redownloaded the game for the event and in the first day was able to get from Level 20 to 21 starting at 0 xp progress at 20.

We decided to go to a park in Nashville called Bicentennial Park, and coincidentally there was a Pokemon Go event being hosted in the park that we went to. They were giving away food at whatever price you wanted to pay (including nothing If you wanted!), and we got a good dinner for 4 people for only 10$ that we donated.

There at the event, I got my first Cyndaquil! It’s strange how long it’s taken me to find this third Generation 2 starter Pokemon, because I already have 125 Chikorita candies!

I was able to farm about 40k XP yesterday alone! On Tuesday I am going to do a lucky egg, so instead of the current double XP thanks to the Easter Eggstravaganza, I will get quadruple XP.

So stay tuned for Tuesday for the second Pokemon Go Easter Eggstravaganza post!

Pokemon Go: Pichu, Wartortle, Aerodactyl

Hello there you lights. Today I have a Pokemon Go post for you! I haven’t done one of these in a bit, so I thought I’d make one!

The last few days I’ve been doing well in Pokemon Go. I’ve caught a fair amount of new ones since the last post!

I also have eight 5k eggs, which I find really annoying, because they don’t hatch things that I like 😦

Other than that, how are you all doing? Sorry we haven’t posted recently, there’s just not much to post on.

So yeah.

Pokemon Go – Donphan and 5k Egg Hatches (Jess is back)

Hello there you DVRs. Today, we have a Pokemon post for the first time in months! 

In the time i’ve been away, I managed to get to Level 20! That means Ultra Balls! Since Generation 2 was released, i’ve gotten back into my quest of catching em all. I’m still hitting all the Pokestops on the way home while riding the bus, and I started run/walking om weekends through the neighborhood by my house!

Just today, I caught this 😀

And the Two 5k Eggs I had synced up gave me these:

I’ll give you a glimpse of my best Pokemon as well.

The next time I do something big in the gams i’ll post 😀

Also, Jess is back!!!!!!

Pokèmon Go – My Best Buddy Growlithe

A few weeks ago I deleted Pokémon Go because it took up too much space. But noooooow, I can redownload it because I have a little bit more space leftover! Also, who doesn’t want a Pokèbuddy?

In the new update, they made it so that you can attach a Pokemon as your buddy, kinda like a favorite. When you walk around, there’s a distance meter just like hatching eggs, only when you walk a certain amount of kilometers it gives you a free candy. For me it’ll be giving me a Growlithe candy 😀

I’m going to be going out walking when I get home, and I’ll take my phone so I can play the game and simultaneously write stuff down for you guys who for some reason care xP.

11 Hours Later

I just got back from walking around the neighborhood hunting for those elusive Pokemon. There was a Dratini on the nearby. Guess what?!?!?!?!?

.

.

.

It disappeared, never to be seen again :I . I caught a single Pidgey on my 45 minute walk. It was a bust, but I did advance quite a bit on my buddy Growlithe so that I can get his candies.

Overall, very disappointing haul, but hey, there’s tomorrow right?

Breaking News! Tomorrow cancelled, instead we’re going to be having another today! How exciting, am I right?

Nevermind, I bet on Today 2.0 were going to have much better luck!

Not.

Baiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

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

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

Pokémon Go Short Story

​Bo woke up, drenched in sweat. He had been dreaming about the new game that recently came out, Pokémon Go. Stumbling over his own feet, he turned on the light then turned his attention to his alarm clock.

5:23, too late to go back to bed, and too early for breakfast, he thought to himself grudgingly.

In the dream, he had been one of those Pokémon, only everything wasn’t as cheery as the game portrayed it. He was on the run, as packs of his own kind were running as fast as they could to escape the giant humans trying to enslave them. The creature to the right of him was caught, wailing as he was zoomed away into a Pokéball. Then, just as Bo ran out of breath, behind him came a giant of himself, and the dream ended just as the giant him was about to capture him.

Glad it was only a dream, Bo wondered why the front door was unlocked. He wandered into the kitchen to grab a snack, but when he opened the fridge door, out popped a Squirtle. Startled, Bo stumbled back into the oven, which creaked open to reveal a Charmander. They started talking in a deep gravelly voice, “Bo! You have seen the truth behind the charade! Go and stop people from playing this ‘game’.” 

Totally and utterly confused, Bo just stood there with his mouth open until the creatures disapeared from his vision, leaving only the kitchen, fridge and oven open, cracks of sunlight spilling through the closed blinds.
