Not only do both Valve /and/ indie companies create income from this collaboration, but in games like Audiosurf, there is a Portal Gun as a playable avatar, this not only increases the drive for customers to play the game, but also opens up future game possibilities between the indie companies and Valve. \</p><p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; "><br /></p><p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; ">that's why I think Valve is Ingenious. </p></span>Zinny.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09039887098297114690noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172530.post-58484153032070978562010-11-01T18:03:00.000-07:002010-11-01T18:05:15.496-07:00short storyshort story Monday is started.<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>story 1. </div><div><br /></div><div>the stairs. </div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; border-collapse: collapse; "> To start, I must tell you my mother times the coffee machine for insane times in the morning, so this mistake was well placed. It was 2 am when I woke up to the sound of a coffee maker dripping, dripping, dripping. It drove me up the wall. I got up, and walked down the unreliable rickety staircase, creaking, I knew that I was being the opposite of stealthy. My sister, Maggie, dressed in her princess pajamas, opened her door, and said, "John, what are you doing?" I said I was just going downstairs to turn off the coffee maker, it had woken me up.<br />"Can I come?"<br />I said sure, but only if she promised to go right to sleep after. With her promise tightly secured by a lock and key, I picked up my 8 year old sister, and we went down the stairs. What was waiting for us, we never could have foreseen.<br /><br />The bodies of my parents were quite possibly the worst sight I ever had seen. My mother, in her red dress that always gained her the wrong kind attention, and my father in his bathrobe, arms flayed like a crucified bank accountant had a shocked look on his face. "Mags, go up stairs. Now."<br />"But John, I. I. Mom?"<br />"mags. Now."<br />The little girl just sank on the floor, and cried.<br /><br />I heard a clanking sound coming from the kitchen, and I heard a rough voice saying, "Shit! Kids!" and two men dressed in black turtlenecks with a green snake embroidered on the back, ran out of the screen door.<br />I grabbed the nearest thing I could, an old blue umbrella, told Mags to call the police, and charged head first into danger.<br /><br />No one could run faster then I, with my 15 year old agility , a burning feeling of pain and excitement resided in my stomach, and an adrenaline rush like nothing I had ever experienced, caught up with the burglars. I beat the closest one, a man in his forties, over the head with the umbrella, he swore, and turned around, producing a butterfly knife. He charged me. I hit his hand with my umbrella tip, causing him to drop the knife. The other, turned around, pulled a gun. And fired.<br /><br />My last thoughts were the blue and red lights on street. And of mags. Now all alone. I felt sorry for her. Wished I could have stayed alive, or had her die with me. Not for her to be left alone. An eight year old with an idiot brother.<br />And then. Nothing.</span></div>Zinny.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09039887098297114690noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172530.post-48003683761618928852010-09-25T22:21:00.000-07:002010-09-25T22:23:36.312-07:00I'm back and better then ever!Well, It's been three years!

This is how I learned about it.<br />So I went to the book store with my dad. We were looking for a bass player magazine with a Geddy Lee interview in it and while we were in the magazine section I picked up an issue of Shonen Jump and there was a bit of a comic called Hikaru no Go and it was about Go so I got interested in it and two days later I went to the book store again and I got a book called "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Book-Go-William-S-Cobb/dp/0806927291/">The book of GO</a>".<br /><br />My mom and I played about ten games just now -- very fun, I would recommend it.<br /><br /> from<br /> henryZinny.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09039887098297114690noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172530.post-56471142820428714002007-07-26T12:23:00.000-07:002007-07-26T12:33:26.889-07:00Rush! Snakes and Arrows TourI went to a Rush concert last night and it was really fun! I was really close to the stage, too. My step-dad took me. It was in Irvine, not too far from our house. I was nine rows back from the stage. I can't even describe it, it was so awesome. It was very loud. I wore my Rush shirt. In the middle of the show there was an intermission and they changed their clothes. Right before the intermission Geddy said they needed to take a break because of their extreme age. Also Geddy had a video camera and he was taking a video of everyone in the audience so the Canada people could see what the America people were like and right in the middle this woman come up to him on stage and was trying to talk to him in sign language or something and he said "I'm busy now, go away."<br /><br />It was the best night ever. It was just so awesome!Zinny.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09039887098297114690noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172530.post-41581633193628655312007-07-26T12:12:00.000-07:002007-07-26T12:16:52.652-07:00Sorting quizI took this Harry Potter sorting quiz and it sorted me into Hufflepuff, but as you can see I told it I'd rather be in Ravenclaw, since my score was really close to Ravenclaw too.<br /><br />Hufflepuff - 13<br />Ravenclaw - 12<br />Gryffindor - 10<br />Slytherin - 7<br /><br /><p style="font-size:8pt;"><a href="http://www.thealmightyguru.com/reviews/harrypotter/docs/quiz-house.html"><img src="http://www.thealmightyguru.com/reviews/harrypotter/docs/quizzes/hp-Ravenclaw.png" style="border:none; width:256px; height106px;" title="Ravenclaw" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.thealmightyguru.com/reviews/harrypotter/docs/quiz-house.html">Which Hogwarts house will you be sorted into?</a></p><br /><br />My mom and my step-dad got Hufflepuff too.Zinny.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09039887098297114690noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172530.post-71024361656320416542007-04-23T12:17:00.000-07:002007-04-23T12:23:25.156-07:00my fableLast week i got a homework page where i had to write a fable and here it is:<br /><br />Seleon and the Ugly Dragon<br />by Henry<br /><br />In a time long ago, when dragons ruled the skies and giants ruled the mountains, there was an old knight who understood all of what the trees said and what the grass said. But he was destroyed by a Giant. The knight's grandson, Seleon, planned to set out on a quest to avenge his grandfather. To do this he had to go through the Mountains of Doom. The Giant lived in a cave on the tallest mountain. Seleon took his sword and provisions and departed.<br /><br />Five days passed. While Seleon was on his journey he met a Dragon. The Dragon offered his help, but Seleon refused for the Dragon was an ugly being. The Dragon said, “I do not mind being refused. Take this grass, for you may need me someday. Whistle through it and I will come to your aid.”<br /><br />As Seleon approached the cave, the Giant came out and asked what Seleon was doing there. Seleon replied, “I have come to avenge my grandfather, the knight you killed.”<br /><br />The Giant laughed. “Youngling,” it said, “You have neither the strength nor the courage to defeat me.” And he smote Seleon off the mountain. Luckily for Seleon, he landed in a thick patch of daisies. As he lay there the daisies spoke to him: “Heed what the Dragon said!”<br /><br />Seleon got up and took the grass out of his pouch. As he whistled though it, a single ear-piercing note flew from his lips and the Dragon appeared.<br /><br />Seleon said, “I am sorry I refused your help before. You seemed ugly to me then, but now I see that your help is golden.”<br /><br />When they reached the cave, the Dragon kicked down the giant's door and breathed fire throughout the cave. And when the heat dissipated, they saw only the smouldering remains of the marauding Giant.<br /><br />Now that his grandfather had been avenged, Seleon felt at peace. He knew his friend the Dragon would always be there with him.<br /><br />Because Seleon joined forces with the Dragon against the Giant who had killed his grandfather, he learned not to judge people, or dragons, by what they look like.<br /><br />The EndZinny.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09039887098297114690noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172530.post-1160611039077489462006-10-11T16:50:00.000-07:002006-10-11T16:57:19.096-07:00McDonald's Song and EragonI saw a really cool little video today.

It was really awesome. Go to <a href="http://eragonmovie.com/">eragonmovie.com</a>. Click on the "enter site" button. Then click the "The Film" button. And then just wait! I can't wait for the movie.

A blintz is like a thin large pancake with heated cream cheese in the middle, all rolled up with syrup on it, or fruit on it if you want. <br /><br />First, you take a half-cup of pancake mix. Then you take a 1/4 cup of water, plus a little more. And an egg. And you mix that up all really good so it's thin and swirly and sloppy and glushy and smooshy.<br /><br />Then you butter a bigish frying pan and heat it on lowish heat. Then you pour the batter in and let it cook and then you flip it with a spatula and cook it a little longer. And you put a couple of spoonfuls of cream cheese into a bowl and microwave it for about 10 seconds. And then you put the blintz on a plate and you glop the cream cheese in, and fold one side over the cream cheese and then roll the whole thing up. Pour some syrup on it, get a fork, and then devour!Zinny.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09039887098297114690noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172530.post-1158605871121958202006-09-16T20:48:00.000-07:002006-09-18T11:57:51.140-07:00Henry's Party Day - Today!I had my birthday party today. It was really really fun. It was a good sunny day -- perfect for what I was doing. It was a swimming party, and videogames, and water balloons, and fun. My actual birthday isn't until the 27th, Wednesday after next. My mom, dad, and stepdad are going to give me presents on my actual birthday. A good number of friends came. Nathan and Laura, Fargo, Kasey and Chipper, Sam, Cierra, Cassidy, and Daneesha. Plus me makes ten children.<br /><br />We had cherry pie and pizza and deviled eggs (I made the deviled eggs). I had a pinata that looked like a black dragon.<br /><br />I got 4 bionicles, metal puzzles, a dragon egg with a dragon in it, water guns, and a $45 gift certificate to Boarnes and Noble and a really cool bookmark!Zinny.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09039887098297114690noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172530.post-1158033047908191112006-09-11T20:43:00.000-07:002006-09-11T20:50:47.923-07:00Lots of BooksI read a lot of books this summer. <br /><br />I read:<br />Eragon<br />Eldest<br />Deltora Quest 1: The Force of Silence<br />Deltora Quest 2: The Lake of Tears<br />Deltora Quest 3: The City of the Rats<br />Deltora Quest 4: The Shifting Sands<br />Deltora Quest 5: Dread Mountain<br />Deltora Quest 6: The Maze of the Beast<br />Deltora Quest 7: The Valley of the Lost<br />Deltora Quest 8: Return to Del<br />Deltora Shadowlands 1: The Cavern of the Fear<br />Deltora Shadowlands 2: The Isle of Illusion<br />Deltora Shadowlands 3: The Shadowlands<br /><br />My mom read these to me:<br />Dragonsong<br />Dragonsinger<br />By The Great Horn Spoon<br /><br />(I will put links to these tomorrow, hopefully)Zinny.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09039887098297114690noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172530.post-1157685958094643632006-09-07T20:14:00.000-07:002006-09-07T20:25:58.126-07:00Fierce Celtic WarriorI'm sorry I havn't blogged for so long, but here I am now. <br /><br />I made some Celtic Warrior Gear today. In my History book, there are stories about the history of the world, and there is an activity book that goes with it, you know -- coloring, projects, quizzes, etc. And so I made a Celtic Double-Bladed Axe. It's made of a wrapping-paper cardboard tube, some cardboard for the blades, and string, and paper, and glue, and tape, and a blue marker (optional). First we cut out the blades, and then we covered the cardboard blades with white paper. Then I had to go to karate. But when I came back, I colored the blades with blue marker, swirly and circley designs. And then my mom cut slits in the cardboard tube and I slid the axe blades right in there. And then we put some string in a X-formation to keep the blades attached, although it's kind of coming off right now, so I'll cut some slits in the blades and re-wrap it tomorrow.<br /><br />Then I started making the Celtic Dragon Brooch, which is really cool but it's kind of hard to describe. It has green and red and blue marker on it in an abstract dragon design. It's made of cardboard and rubber cement and tape and paper and markers. And a pin on the back, which I just taped on, although the instructions said to hot-glue it but we couldn't find the hot glue. And the cloak is just a towel -- any towel will do. You spread the towel out so the short ends are facing to either side of you, then pin them together over your shoulder with the brooch. And tomorrow my mom and I are going to get something to put blue designs upon my body, and then I will be a fierce Celtic Warrior attacking the Roman badguy!Zinny.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09039887098297114690noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172530.post-1147575285369845282006-05-13T19:46:00.000-07:002006-05-13T19:54:45.380-07:00omeletteI did lots of great things today! One of the great things I did was this morning I had an omelete! My first omelete in life. I loved it. My mother made it for me, and it had tomatoes and cheese and omelete in it! I played a lot of Ocarina of Time today. I am so far! I think the last time I blogged was when I had two of the three Spiritual Stones. Now I have all three Spiritual Stones, the first Medalion, which is the Light Medalion, and I'm working on getting the second which is the Wood Medalion. It is very hard getting it. I haven't got anywhere close to it. And I am Adult Link, yay!<br /><br />I downloaded the latest version of the Lego Digital Designer, which is version 1.6 but I liked 1.5 better so I will reinstall it.<br /><br />I played a very little bit of World of Warcraft -- not much though. I finished one quest.<br /><br />Well, my mom will read me a bedtime story now. We finished Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang two nights ago. It was very good!<br /><br />If you liked the Evolution of Dance video that I posted last time, please comment and say you liked it.

My mom saw it first and she thought it was so funny! And then I saw it later and I thought it was also very funny. It's this guy who does all these dances to little snatches of tunes.

And since I haven't posted for a while, I have a few thigns to tell you.<br /><br />Zinny got to level 45. He got Zorbin's Mega-Slicer. Kara got to 42 with her Druid, Animala.<br /><br />And I've been playing a lot of The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time lately. I got the first two stones and I'm working on getting the third. And then, I think, I have to go to Hyrule Castle, I'll get the Ocarina of Time, I'll learn the Song of Time, and I will become Adult Link. And that will be cool!<br /><br />Well, my mom should read me a bedtime story now 'cause I'm really tired from all that dancing!Zinny.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09039887098297114690noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172530.post-1145935460741749322006-04-24T20:17:00.000-07:002006-04-24T20:24:20.756-07:00Zorbin's MegaSlicerI was up at 4:30 this morning. Early, eh? I played a good amount of World of Warcraft today, too. Zinny is almost level 45! Then he can get the Zapped Giants quest. And then if Lamenth, my dad, will help me with that, then I can get Zorbin's MegaSlicer, which is a cool sword. It has a notch in it. Also I have a Phantom Blade. It is really good. It has a chance-on-hit effect, which is it decreases armor by 120. I am trying to get an icy enchant on it so it looks even cooler. I ate bread and butter for dinner. I swam with the turtle.Zinny.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09039887098297114690noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172530.post-1145845899184535232006-04-23T19:24:00.000-07:002006-04-23T19:31:39.186-07:00Bionicle BinI am very tired right now. But I am going to dance with my Grandma! It will be fun, I think. We have not danced for centuries = (a few months).<br /><br />I got a big bucket of Bionicle Parts, and my dad and I made some Bionicles. I haven't decided names for two of them yet. I haven't thought of names for any of them yet. I am loooking at two right now. One has a tail, two arms and two legs. His tail helps him stand up. And the other has a cool knife, a shield, no tail, but some cool shoulder pads. I'm planning on making a little thing about them, like a movie or a comic.Zinny.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09039887098297114690noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172530.post-1145590405618366282006-04-20T20:28:00.000-07:002006-04-20T20:33:25.630-07:00BikeI love my bike a lot. It is so cool. It is green! I feel happy when I ride it, except the seat is a little bit too hard. There is nowhere to ride around here, so I just went back and forth in the hall, not very fast, just enough to get the feel of my bike.<br /><br />I played WoW for a while today. It was fun. I got all four Skullsplitter Fetishes. It was hard to find the Mystics who dropped them. <br /><br />Well, my mom will read me a bedtime story now, so goodnight, or good day -- whenver you're reading this.Zinny.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09039887098297114690noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172530.post-1145415707340515262006-04-18T19:56:00.000-07:002006-04-18T20:01:47.360-07:00Animal ParkI did a lot of good stuff today. I went to the Wild Animal Park. I saw the lion chewing a bone, I saw the white tiger looking at me through a big clump of grass and trees.Zinny.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09039887098297114690noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172530.post-1145330877260520332006-04-17T20:19:00.000-07:002006-04-17T20:27:57.273-07:00Lots of WorkToday I did a whole bunch of work. First I took books off my Grandmom's desk, which I had taken off before but she put back on this morning. So I had to move the books so my mom and step-dad could move the desk so it wasn't blocking the window and then I had to put the books back which was very tiring. And then I sat around and watched my Mom cleaning my Grandmom's computer, and then I assembled three lamps. And then I cleaned up the big mess. Lots of work, eh?<br /><br />And then I ate a very hearty dinner. Half a box of macaroni-and-cheese-and-peas and a giant cookies-n-cream ice cream cone. I finished off the entire tub. I am very tired now and my mom should read me a bedtime story now.Zinny.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09039887098297114690noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172530.post-1145244420428980302006-04-16T20:18:00.000-07:002006-04-16T20:27:00.440-07:00QuestsAlmost 44 today. I think I will probably level to 44 tomorrow. I did four quests today. <br /><br />1) I did the Witherbark Cages<br />2) I went to the Altar of Zul. That was hard.<br />3) I went to Nethergarde Keep.<br />4) I did Voodoo Dues<br />5) I did Kurzen's Mystery<br />6) I did The Curse of the Tides<br /><br />I guess that's more than four!<br /><br />Now I order my mom to read me a bedtime story.Zinny.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09039887098297114690noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172530.post-1145167553210959602006-04-15T23:01:00.000-07:002006-04-15T23:05:53.223-07:00Cortello's RiddleToday I did four quests in World of Warcraft. They were all very fun. First we went to a bridge. The quest was a rhyming riddle:<br /><br />There is an ornate, well-traveled bridge<br />East of Deadwind and south of Redridge<br />Underneath there waits something for you<br />Some call it a hint, others a clue<br />There it will lie for endless tomorrows<br />Biding its time in the Swamp of Sorrows<br /><br />Isn't that a cool riddle? I like the part about an "ornate, well-traveled bridge, east of Deadwind and south of Redridge." That's cool 'cause it rhymes.<br /><br />For the second quest we had to kill dragon whelps. Those are small little green floaty dragon things. <br /><br />And for the third quest we had to collect driftwood. That wasn't too hard. We had to kill a few basilisks and murlocs but it wasn't too hard.<br /><br />And for the fourth quest, all we had to do was go to some dude in Nethergarde Keep. My mom hit level 41 today!<br /><br />I designed and built a new bionicle today. I will put a picture of him up tomorrow.Zinny.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09039887098297114690noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172530.post-1145071742718433222006-04-14T20:22:00.000-07:002006-04-14T20:29:02.736-07:00Carrot on a Stick and 43I got a Carrot on a Stick today in World of Warcraft. It was very very hard. Also I leveled to level 43 -- YAY! Carrot on a Stick was very hard to get. It was in a dungeon and we had to go all the way through to get it and it was all very high levels. Carrot on a Stick increases your mount speed by 3%.Zinny.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09039887098297114690noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172530.post-1144466278396394692006-04-07T20:11:00.000-07:002006-04-07T20:18:25.303-07:00swordsToday. Yay yay 42 yay! I got to 42 today. Also my mom got her mount, yay!<br /><br />We went to the library today. We got three audio books, two Junie Jones, the "Days of knights and damsels" activity book, and the Lord of the Rings official movie guide.<br /><br />Also we made two cardboard swords from the Activity Book, and then when my step-dad got home from work, he made me a wooden one! And we plan on making two more - one for him, and one for my friend Fargo who is coming over soon.Zinny.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09039887098297114690noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172530.post-1144378942361468322006-04-06T19:53:00.000-07:002006-04-06T20:02:22.456-07:00Good PodcastsI played World of Warcraft for a while today. My mother is almost level 40. Zinny is almost level 42. <br /><br />I've been reading the Harry Potter books through and through over the last few days. I finished the first one, and I started the second one. I usually read about a chapter or two a day. I'm in chapter 8, on page 72 or 73, in Chamber of Secrets now.<br /><br />I like to listen to two Harry Potter podcasts. <a href="http://www.mugglenet.com/mugglecast/">Muggle</a>cast and <a href=""http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/pottercast/>Potter</a>cast. <br />They're both very good, they talk about Harry Potter books and movies.Zinny.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09039887098297114690noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172530.post-1144294116645945862006-04-05T20:20:00.000-07:002006-04-05T20:28:36.683-07:00QuestsHere is a photo of Corporal Zinny on his mount:<br /><br /><a href="http://kayray.org/gallery/april2006/corporalzinny"><img src="http://kayray.org/photo_album/april2006/corporalzinny.thumb.jpg"></a><br /><br />He almost made level 42 today! Not quite, but almost. I did a really hard quest today, it was so hard, I died so many times. We had to get Mokk's Heart. He is a gorilla. There were like 10 gorillas guarding him, all over level 41. <br /><br />Today I helped my mom kill Bhag'Thera, a 43 elite panther. Now she has to kill Tethis, a 43 elite raptor, and then we get to kill King Bangalosh. He is another elite. And then we can be on the same quest!Zinny.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09039887098297114690noreply@blogger.com0
