Polls

Hahahaha, I'm declared the best contributor to this blog!

Graduation

The majority of the Null staff will be graduating and going to different high schools. Thor and 16-bit will be going to the same school. PortalFTW and I will be going to the same high school as well. fiftybottles, Vaibhav and Sysreal will go to different schools altogether. Chillin416 had failed his current grade and will be repeating it for all we know. So, Fiftybottles, Vaibhav, Sysreal and the people who won't be going to my school next year, I hope you will still in contact with me. As for Chillin416 go repeat whatever grade you are doing because you're not going to high school with us. I'm not even sure if he even is in middle school.

We're Back

Alright, Chi You posted that we were going to be away all week and that no one would be posting. So now I just wanted to say... We're back. Please hold your applause till the end... Alright now you can clap.

Radio Silence

Most of the staff on Null will be at Ottawa or Montreal. Perpare for a week of boredom if you are dependent on this blog. Chillin416 and Vaibhav will remain since Chillin416 isn't old enough to be cool and Vaibhav is being cool in India. So, this will be our last post for about a week good bye.

Stanley Cup Game

As you know, we had a poll to see which NHL team was in favor of winning. The Vancouver Canucks were in favor. Sadly, the real results of the game were far from that. The score was 4-0 for the Bruins. Considering all the excitement Vancouver built up over this, the aftermath was horrible. Riots erupted through the city. Cars were turned and burned. Well, everything in their reach was burned even jerseys. I just want to alert you to know that the G20 was some competition.

Minecraft Comic

Minecraft Cr1tikal

If you haven't watched the youtube channel cr1tikal. He is a very funny gamer. He commentates lots of games with very funny things inside. One of the many games he commentated was minecraft. Careful, don't let any little children watch this some subject matter isn't appropriate for children. Without further a due, here is the link. http://www.youtube.com/user/penguinz0?blend=3&ob=5#p/u/0/n6YWbTSGFLQ After you watch this, you will understand the joke in the picture above.

Storm Over GTA

If you don't know, majority of our contributors are in the GTA area (not the grand theft auto area). Because of this, we recently experienced a very serve storm. In this storm, hail fell, thunder struck and trees toppled. Many of the contributors were lucky and avoided any trees falling on their properties. Unfortunately a tree did fall on mine. We will try to make a way so you can donate money for my cause and others. We will most likely donate all the money to the Red cross. I just don't feel like writing right now so I'll just end it here.

Epic Bob-omb & other stuffs

Okay, so I am a fan of LEGO and Star Wars, so I am going to post a review of LEGO Star Wars III, but that isn't the point here. I was browsing a site called MOCPages, a site for LEGO Fans. So the MOC of the day was... A Bob-omb made of LEGO. Link here if you want it:

Onto the main article. Recently, Nintendo had it's press conference at E3 2011, and two major games were officially announced: Mario Kart 3DS and Super Mario 3DS, and a 3DS update was released, adding an online store (that hopefully won't get hacked *cough* PSN *cough*), a browser and the ability to transfer data from a DSi or DSi XL. So for all you people out there that still have a DSi, you must download an app from the DSi shop to transfer system data. So far, two titles have been released that are free: Pokedex 3D, and Excitebikes (original). But you can only get Excitebikes free until July 7th (at least in North America), so get it quickly.

Canadian Video Game Awards

EDIT: This was supposed to go up a while ago, back when the CVAs were still relevant. I had the whole thing written up in OpenOffice, but for some reason, I never got around to publishing it till now. So yeah, it says they ended like 15 minutes ago, but no... quite a while ago. Just prepping you for that.

If you've been following the event (and if you haven't, shame on you!), then you'll know that the second annual "Canadian Video Game Awards" just ended roughly 15 minutes ago. It was only an hour long (not as long as I expected, honestly...), and all the games that won rewards truly deserved them.

Playstation notwok

I got my password reset e mail back and it said I didn't give enough information. What playstation, I fill in your guide lines and I still don't make the cut? What do I need to get an account e mail change or a password reset. I already stated why multiple times why I couldn't reset my password. The only thing I couldn't quite provide was the serial number. They said they need a PS3 serial number, I give them my PSP serial number. The response is that my information just wasn't enough to be able to change a simple e mail address or password. I hope you share my dislike of playstation so much I do. remember to vote on the poll and playstation store is back up. This makes me SOOOO ANGRY! But that's it for me, bye now

P.S. I sent another email to them.

Yes, I know they are very formal. They also seem very much a like. They don't seem to care about the things I typed on my e mails. If you didn't see them, check out my last post.

Hockey

If you don't know, all contributors most contributors at Null are in Canada and care deeply about hockey. That is why I want to draw your attention is the newest poll, Who will win the Stanley cup. Since we are Canadian, our first choice is the Canucks. Sadly, not all the contributors voted so this is a heads up to them and you to vote for your favourite team or vote because you just don't care.

Minecraft

I'm even more sad. Sorry for the Minecraft post again even though I said I wouldn't. I just updated my Minecraft to 1.6.5. Seriously, there is updated after update. On the day 1.6 was released, they updated it up to 1.6.4 and I had to get that since I wanted maps. Then a couple days later it changes to 1.6.5 and most mods don't work with it.

Minecraft

I'm sorry, I know, I'm supposed to be doing my usual Playstation rant but I want this time to tell about my minecraft problem. If you own minecraft you will know, they recently updated. Because of this update, my mods no longer work. I tried to get some mods for 1.6.4 and I did. The only problem is that the mods messed up my game. I can't access my worlds because of it. I think it is because I installed them improperly but whatever the reason, I am very sad because of it. I think I will return to my usual playstation rant tomorrow or the next day or today.
