I forgot how thrilling it was to write LATT.

It’s been a while since I’ve felt an adrenaline rush just from typing!

Finally got my writing computer! Expect some chapters for LATT soon!

So, today is a very special day for me. I checked my basketball schedule from last year, and I remembered something. Today is the 9-month anniversary of me and my girlfriend first meeting each other. I remember everything. We had just gotten our butts handed to us in Overtime on JV, I changed, went to the concession stand for some popcorn, and then I hear a voice tell me "You might want to get some butter salt." I turn and see a gorgeous girl standing there behind the concession stand. I, in all my infinite wisdom, go out to the stands without getting much butter salt. It tastes like crap. I have to go back to the stand, and she smiles. We get to talking until it's time to leave- about 2 hours later. Fast-forward to today, 9-months later, she's my girlfriend. It's amazing how things can change in a few months.  

I don't really know how to say this properly, but I'm going to have to take a brief leave... This morning, just a few minutes ago, I heard that my best friend of 15 long, happy years died last night. He was the best dog I ever had, and despite the fact I wasn't with him for much of my life after the divorce where dad got him, I'm never going to forget him. 

So one of those "Only in my school" moments.

Currently, we're writing about the Crusades, while in the class next to us "Dixie" is playing as US History has reached the Civil War. 

My Forums Reading Booklist (I guess)

1. Catch up on the Kraken series (By @CatastrophicFailure) COMPLETE

2. Catch up on the Saga of the Emiko Station (By @Just Jim) IN PROGRESS (Somewhere around Chapter 37 now.... oh boy..)

3. Edit around with LATT and post the deleted scenes for WWK NOT STARTED

What a game indeed! Here are my thoughts on the game... listed quarter-by-quarter.

Pre-game: Gowsh that's a pretty national anthe- wait Malcolm Butler's not starting? Bill, have you lost your mind?! What are you thinking?!

1st Quarter: *yaw-* How do you miss a 26-yard chip shot......... This is your freaking jo- GOSTKOWSKI! WHAT THE HECK MAN?! YOU'RE THE BEST KICKER IN THE NFL, HOW DO YOU MISS A CHIP SHOT?!

PHILLY SCORES! YES! YES! YE- You bosses! I know what I'm using for Madden from now on... That's an epic 2 point play!

2nd Quarter: Oh..... so that was the first quarter..... At least I got to see Morgan Freeman rap in a Doritos Commerc- oooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhh...... Brandon Cooks, Rip in Pepperonis....... A head injury? How do you get a head injury and not be under the concussion protocol?!

DEFENSE! STOP THE RUN! WHAT ARE WE PAYING YOU FO- MAKE A TACKLE FOR GOD SAKE! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand they score...... well shoot. At least they made the extra point!

Oh! OH! THAT'S A CATCH! THAT'S A CATCH! TOUCHDOWN!!!!!

Why are they reviewing it?! It's a touchdown!

Look, Left, Right, both in bounds and then Left the second time just barely in. It's good!

NBC, screw off, it's a catch.

HAHAHA, HE GOT IT!!! SUCK IT BILL!!!

Halftime: Wait are they inside?? What about the stadiu- wait..... Is he- I'm so confused...

Oh good lord I would hate to be the guy who had to program those boards..

JUSTIN! SING A SONG I KNOW HOLY COW.

Okay, kind of know that o- ooooooooohhhhhh heck yeah!

I got this feeling. Inside my bones. It goes electric baby when I turn it on.

Overall not a bad first half! Had some excitement, some intrigue, some people not knowing what the definition of a catch is... quite exciting!

3rd Quarter: Well, looks like they're getting the ball to start out...

Holy cow our pass rush is pathetic!

STOP THE SCREEN PASSES FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HO- thank you

STOP HIM, STOP HI- ...................... How in the heck did you let a tight end successfully run a fade...

At least he did a good spike...

Okay, let's do this thing!

Another good score for Philly... Ladies and gents, we've got a ballgame on our hands!

4th Quarter: They're ahead.... crap

Okay, we can stop th- HERE WE GO! GET THAT BALL!

OH! OOOHHHH ZACH ERTZ! YOU ABSOLUTE BEAST! 

Call it back. I dare you. Just try me.

Come on...

Look, the ball crossed the plane!

Okay, so the ball hit the ground first, but...

I mean the ball crossed the plane.. surely...

#IfDezDidntCatchIt...

YES! YES!!! WITH 2 MINUTES LEFT!!! LET'S GOOOOOO!!!!!

Alright boys, hold em right here. All or no-

OH MY GOD! OOOOHHHHMYYYYYYYYGOD!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S WHAT A D-LINE IS SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE!!!

Nick Foles, don't you dare screw this up.

Alright, good field goal.

Come on.... 1 minute...

TACKLE HIM

Oh.... It's up... come on come on come o- YES!!!! OHMYGOD YES!!! EAGLES WIN! EAGLES WIN!!!

Post-game: Hahaha how's it feel Tom?! Stinks to lose, doesn't it?!

So overall not a bad game. We had excitement... Intrigue... New York not knowing the definition of a catch... It had everything! Finally, the evil empire led by Darth Brady and the evil Emperor Belicheck has been defeated by the young Jedi Nick Foles and the Eagle Resistance. 

Super Bowl time!!! New England Wins the toss.... Almost time to go!

Alrighty, so on Monday, I bought 3 books. Here's a comprehensive list of them.

1. Quidditch through the Ages, by Kennilworthy Whisp (J.K. Rowling)

2. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, by Newt Scamander (J.K. Rowling)

3. You Can't Spell America Without Me: The really tremendous inside story about my first year as President, by Donald J. Trump (Alec Baldwin & Kurt Anderson)

So... I'm an idiot.. An idiot in severe pain.

First off, let's start with the pain. On Monday, I woke up with horrible sinus infection symptoms. Runny nose, sore throat, stuffy head, etc. Took some medicine and it was (kinda) fine. That night, I go to bed, wake up, and literally can't breathe. Take some more medicine, all fine. This morning, kind of the same, but the nose has (kinda) cleared up, but I'm coughing up some kind of goop. *sigh*

Then, also this morning, I was heading out to the car heading to school. And guess what I did? I closed the back door. On my finger. Yeah, it's been fun to type out this message...

Update everyone: So finally, the thing works. I just let it sit for a while, and sure enough, it warmed up and pulled through just fine. 

So everyone, I've got a big problem. My personal computer has refused to warm up, and is stuck on an update screen. according to my dad, the thing's updating, but according to a friend I've got a disc issue. 

Hail to the spoopy owl! You like?

So everyone, I know how you're wanting to hear more from WWK. However, as some of you might know, I had another story planned before WWK. The Final Stand. Well, here are a few brief excerpts that I wrote over the summer. Enjoy!

#1

    As I looked out on the desolate terrain, somehow everything smelled like home. Or at least, as much smell as a barren, grey dust-covered rock without an atmosphere can give. Walking up out of my crater, I gave a sly smile looking out at the trading outpost and saw a transport ship slowly hovering down; likely filled with tons of stuff. Hopefully Johnny had come through again. When I had finally felt the dust had settled enough, I started walking over.

(…)

    “Well well well, look what we have here boys!” I whipped my head around and looked at 3 rough looking figures; all 3 of which were carrying pretty darn heavy weaponry. “Uh… Hi.. There.. Do you guys know where the Quartermaster is?” They gave me an evil sounding laugh and I got the feeling they were anything but the Quartermaster. “Oh, he’ll be along.. Eventually. But we get first pick. So move out of the way or get blown out of the way, kid.” The leader raised his gun, which I recognized immediately. “Bolt 9000… Only ISM Troops are supposed to have that!” I whispered in surprise, my hands up. “Well who says I didn’t steal it? Move it!” I stood my ground; half wanting to defend my ship and half petrified. “Fine then..” He raised up the Bolt, and I felt it warming up; a deep rumbling in my gut that kept on growing and growing. Then, just as he was about to pull the trigger, a loud POW! Noise filled the chamber, and the gun shattered in half. “What the?!” The leader exclaimed, dropping the gun and waving his hand as a bit of hot metal brushed his arm.
    “Causing trouble Buster?” A lone figure asked, slinging his rifle over his shoulder. He had a confident smirk on his face, and I felt like somehow, I recognized him. He slowly jetted down using his RCS pack, and when he was on the ground, he began walking towards the gang group. “You get out of here, Symp,” The leader, Buster, snarled. “I think not," The figure smiled, grabbing two small pistols that looked extremely old. “See, I’ve got 3 guns. And you’ve got none. So skedaddle. Go on.” He waved his hands in a “Shoo” motion. “I’ll get you for this,” Buster muttered, before walking out; his two henchkerbs trudging behind him. My savior sighed, and shook my hand.
    “Thank you, sir,” I breathed, feeling like I might pass out from the adrenaline rush. “What’s your name?” He cocked his head and muttered. “You know, no-one’s ever asked me that before.. Call me the Lone Ranger.” Again, I felt like I had heard that somewhere before. “Well, let’s see what we’ve got. I’m supposed to get a shipment of food either this Kerbol cycle or next.” He went into the cargo hold, and I resisted the urge to tell him it was restricted. After all, he had just saved my life. “Let’s see here.. Guns.. Ammo… More Guns.. Geezum you’d think we’re at war here! Ah here we go. Food.” He lifted up a large package and balanced it on his shoulders.
    “Follow me. Unless of course you want those goons to come back and blow your brains out.” He began walking out, and I trotted after him.

…

    “Welcome to my humble abode,” The Ranger said, waving to his “House”. It was pretty darn good for a makeshift outpost; it had an oxygen compressor, Water Regeneration, Solar Panels, and a working ox seal. However, everything was extremely old; at least 40 or 50 years. Inside, it was a bit less luxurious; similar to a one-room apartment. The Ranger set down the box and began opening it; pulling out package upon package of food. “Nirvana,” He said, throwing me a package like a frisbee. Due to the low gravity of Dres, the package floated into my hands.
    “So. What’s a kid like you doing in a rat hole like this?" Ranger asked with a smirk, biting into a burger. “The main pilot got reassigned to the Jool System. I’m just a lowly Lieutenant, so they threw me into the ICT850 and told me where to go.” My cheeks reddened in embarrassment, and Ranger chuckled. “Ah poor kid. I remember back in my first days at the KSC.. Everyone thought us lowly privates and corporals were the most expendable beings known to kerbal-kind.” The KSC.. Surely he doesn’t mean the ISP.. Right? The KSC had been shuttered years ago, and in its place the International Space Port was born. I only just remembered it from my history books. As Ranger threw the package in a composter, I saw the tag it was addressed to. I caught a JE, but then his hand covered it up. Curiosity got the better of me, but before I could ask, my radio crackled. “Danny! Where are you? Come in Danny!” The Quartermaster’s voice shouted loudly at me, and I got up from my chair.
    “I’ve got to go,” I told Ranger. “Fine. But before you return to Kerbin, tell everyone you know the news.” I cocked my head. “What news?” I asked, my heart rate speeding up. “Tell them: ‘Jebediah Kerman, General of the NSKAF and Captain of the ISF Reliant in the Battle of Kerbin sends a message. I have returned.’”

Hearing that there was just a huge shooting in Las Vegas. Hope everyone over there's doing okay. 50+ dead, 200+ injured... Terrible stuff for Sin City...

Announcing a brand-new series! "Alpha Team." In this, a band of elite agents from the KASA must band together, ignore their differences, and, above all else, save the world (What else were you expecting? ) Coming to a KSP Forum post near you, Soon™

I.... I...... *Speechless*

Does anyone have any news about Harvey?

IT'S BAAACK!!!!!

WWK Update: So After listening to this, I've decided that there's going to be some sort of X-wing thing in Chapter 3. Hope y'all likey!

(Note: I was going to work on WWK some, but an issue with a MC server I'm playing on has come up. I'll get to WWK in a couple minutes)

So I was uploading the next pics of WWK to imgur, and I saw this:

https://www.battleforthenet.com/

So apparently the internet providers of the world are trying to make us pay money to let them watch what we do. Basically "You give us money, and we invade your privacy." I'm up for this fight.. What say you?

Everyone,

Look, I haven't killed WWK. I've been really busy with an RP thing, and I'm about to launch an Apollo-like mission to the Mun for the very first time (If I stick this, it'll be the first time I've landed on the Mun without cheats). After I either land (Or die a horrible grizzly death) I'll get back to a-working.

Hey everyone, I've got news.

So remember how I said I would be writing WWK? Weeeeellll... Hang with me for a moment.

So I've hit a minor writers block kerfuffle, but I'm not putting WWK on hold. In fact, I've got a gift for you guys. Prepare yourselves...

For Life at the Top. THAT'S RIGHT! 2 STORIES! So when you've caught up with WWK (Or waiting for the next chapter) You can hop right on over to Life at the Top for your reading pleasure. Why am I doing this you ask? Because writing and filming one story isn't suicide enough.

Alright everyone, so I'm getting everything ready for WWK. As soon as KSP loads up, you guys will have the main title picture. After that I'll probably work on either the intro or Drivers Ed. Up in the air at the moment

So I'm hearing that Texture Replacer for 1.2.2 is causing game crashes. Could anyone please confirm?
