Mods: Dlightful or Dangerous??

       You have probably heard of Minecraft mods. They are modifications that add cool things to Minecraft, like dinosaurs and airplanes. Downloading mods sounds easy, and that's what I thought at first. One click, and ta-da! I'd have cool square dinos in my Minecraft game. But that's not what happened. The mod had a virus on it, and now my Mom's computer won't work. Leave a comment on what you think: Are mods dangerous or delightful??

My Bro is Blogin'

Hey people, guess what! My 8 year-old little brother is starting a blog! He's calling it Cam Rates, and is saying it is going to be a rating blog. I've got no idea what that is, but it sounds cool. He hasn't put any posts on it, but I hope he will soon! Here is a link to Cam's blog: camrates.blogspot.com.

Dungeons and Dragons, My new Favorite Hobby!

   Have you ever heard of Dungeons and Dragons? If you have not, I'll give you some information about it right now. Dungeons and Dragons, or D&D, is an old school role-playing game (RPG) that is NOT a video game. You play an adventurer, who you create with a couple of dice and a character sheet. Alone or with friends, you battle monsters, find treasure, and explore dungeons. The thing that makes D&D different from other games is that there are no limits to what you can do. There's no board, no rules, and (I'm gonna say this again) NO limits. All you need to play is some special dice and an experienced dungeon master. Don't know what a dungeon master is? The dungeon master (DM) is the ruler of the game. In the D&D world, he is the God, the supreme ruler of all mortals, and a whole bunch of other kingly names. The DM is responsible for setting the scene. He'll say stuff like 'A pack of orcs ambush you!' or 'You find the treasure after defeating the kobold sorcerer!'. It's also important that the dungeon master has some experience in the game. So far, several editions of D&D have been released, from edition 1, released in 1974, to edition 5, released in 2014. It's impossible for me to explain all the info and rules in the game in these few sentences, so if you want more info, go get one of the guidebooks. The first guide book you should get is the Player's Handbook. For new DMs, consider the Dungeon Master's Guide. If you want info on monsters and magical items, buy the Monster Manuel and the Magic Item Compendium. If you think your ready to start playing, than why are you just standing here reading?! Go start playing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fracking Protest

I protested against fracking yesterday! If you don't know what fracking
is, I'll tell you about it. Fracking is a way to get oil from the Earth. It involves drilling a deep hole into the ground using a drill, then running the drill horizontally for hundreds of miles. The idea is to reach the tiny cracks in the ground where bits of gas are trapped. After that, people pump water into the cracks, which causes them to widen and release the gas inside them. For a more information and a video, go to http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-14432401.
 Now, time for some pictures!    

The most obvious answer is water, right? (shame on you if you think differently)



I'm fracking out about fracking!!!
