Cactus on Sesame Street

Epic Authors: George O'Connor

At the library I met with the author/illustrator of many graphic novels, George O'Connor.  He is super funny and in his books he writes the great story and adds great illustrations to make epic books.  He's most famous for his Olympians series, retelling the stories of the Greek gods. The Olympians books are the reason I love his writing. 

The books tell Greek myths in an inspiring graphic novel format.  The books are serious and some parts have jokes. My favorite Olympians book is Zeus: King of the Gods, because it tells about the dawn of time and how Mount Olympus was chosen. I also love Hades: Lord of the Dead, because it tells how you get to the Greek myth underworld. His books are for people who love Greek myths.  I love the art work so much, I based a comic strip character off of how he draws the Cyclopes.  

His next series after the last Olympians book which is about Hestia and Dionysus is Norse gods. Since I don't know much about Norse so I am looking forward to that.

The library class where I met him was super fun.  We got to make our own comics from random slips of paper out of three hats.  I got, "A talking cactus goes to buy a pony at Sesame Street" 

Game On! Little Big Planet Part 3

Little Big Planet 3 finally came out!!!!  Like usual, Sackboy is back battling the forces of evil, but this time he is not alone.

Our crafty (and yes pun definitely intended) hero is joined by Swoop, Oddsock, and Toggle.  Swoop can fly and of course, swoop down on enemies.  Oddsock is a dog who can run up walls and do wall jumps.  Toggle can switch between Big Toggle and Tiny Toggle.  Our heroes now face Newton, a new threat to not Craftworld but Bunkum. Bunkum is a new place full of more strange characters.

How will our heroes defeat Newton?  Actually, I have no idea because I have not beaten the game yet. Soooo... anyways get the game on your PlayStation Systems and see our heroes defeat Newton.

 GAME ON!!!!

Letter to Nintendo part II

Greetings Again Nintendo,

 In August of 2013 I sent you guys a suggestion letter and posted it to my blog saying that you should make a Mario game with customizable levels.  Here is a link to it .  In your kind letter back to me you said you had nothing announced at the time.

I should be happy that you came out with Super Mario Maker but you made one mistake, you only put it on the Wii-U.  I would love to play it and even review it on my blog but I only have a 3DS and Wii Mini. I can't afford the Wii-U so now I cannot play the game I've been waiting years to play.  I am only 11 and not a game developer so I don't know why you made it only on the Wii-U.  If you could please make it for the 3DS and I and all 3DS fanatics will be very happy.  I will make so many levels!!!

                                                             
Thank You,

This should be my hand!

P.S. Shovel Knight is AWESOME!!!!
