Not much to really do today but filler sadly. I have a lot of stuff to do so it's not a good time to made HTML part 2, but that will probably be tomorrow's post. Maybe.

5 browser games you can play right now
I'm not exactly sure how views on blogspot work, but either way I now have 200 views without advertising on a single website! Honestly, that sounds pretty good to me.
Since there's 20 minutes left in my class right now and I have literally nothing to do, here's 5 browser games you can play RIGHT NOW your browser (which I would be playing if I wasn't making this.)
1. Desktop Dungeons (HTML 5 version)
Link: http://www.desktopdungeons.net/HTML5/
Desktop Dungeons is a game that, if you play right, you will spend countless hours on. It is also a game that you will loose to countless times.
It's a roguelike, which means its goal isn't necessarily to "win", but to get as far through as you can and get a high score. There are 7 races, 18 classes, 5 dungeons, and a special "campaign" mission. Most of this you need to unlock by fulfilling the requirements each one has, and though it can take ages to unlock something, the feeling of satisfaction never loses its touch.

2. Focus
Link: http://www.kongregate.com/games/UnknownJoe796/focus
Focus is based off an older computer game remade into flash, and is known for being an actually fun flash platform/puzzle hybird that isn't ridiculously annoying. It's hard, fast-paced, and most of all fun.

3. Tower of Greed
Tower of Greed is similar to Desktop Dungeons in the way that it lasts forever, is hard, and fun. However instead of being a roguelike RPG, Tower of Greed is a fast-paced, top-down platforming game. The goal is to get a lot of gems and exit the tower, which is a LOT harder than it seems.
(Sadly, one day a Kongregate update happened to bug this game out a little bit. In order to play it, all you need to do is Right click -> play )

4. Knightmare Tower
Link: http://www.kongregate.com/games/JuicyBeast/knightmare-tower
A game I'm sure most of you have heard of, "Knightmare Tower" is a 'launch' game made by the same people who did Burrito Bison, who are okay in my book because they make launch games that actually involve gameplay. Knightmare Tower however tends to have more you actually playing the game then you watching your guy do things, upgrading, then watching your guy go a little farther.
5. Plasma Burst 2
Link: http://www.plazmaburst2.com/?s=2&a=
Get out of the damn way, Raze and Strike Force Heroes! On the (near) top of my list of god-tier flash shooters (there's a lot), Plazma Burst is ridiculously fun. Ragdoll physics, exploding aliens, great combat, exploding aliens, and GOD DAMN THESE PHYSICS. But really, play this game if you haven't already.

The Basics of HTML [Part 1]
Well, as it turns out, thinking of stuff to put on a blog is a LOT harder than I intended, though that's probably just because I keep throwing it off until it's near midnight and by that point I want to sleep so I just make something short.
For this post, I'm going to actually try and do something that might be effective rather than filler and teach the basics of HTML! oh great
So what is HTML anyways? Well, it is the backbone to any website. When you draw a picture (take in mind this means actually intending to draw it well), you tend to start with a rough, light outline before you start on the details. In the case of web programming, HTML is the sketch and CSS is the details (we'll get into CSS later)
First of all, in order to run HTML code, you'll need to make a HTML file. This is actually really easy to do -- just open up TextEdit or Notepad and save it as a .html (this can be done just by adding a ".html" at the end and saving it as "any file".
Even though most of us with common sense know that if a file with ".html" at the end of it means its a HTML file, computers need a little more help, mostly because computers are fucking stupid (actually, let me rephrase that: computers are like children that start off mind-blowingly stupid, but can end up knowing a lot as long as they stay away from the streets (...I don't know what the 'streets' would be computerwise...)). Because of this, we need to give them a little more guidance on what the file is, and that's why we start off every HTML code like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html></html>
The "<!DOCTYPE html>" tells the computer "Okay, I know it says '.html' right outside the gate, but this is for SURE a html file." The actual <html> says "Everything inside these two brackets are ALL the code, ignore anything else." Pretty stupid I know, but like I said computers are special.
From there it gets pretty easy. <title> changes the title of the page (Notice how the top tab of this page probably says something like "Astuka's Blog"? Well, that's the "title" of the page.
<h1>, <h2>, and <h3> change normal text into headers. For example, if I put this into my code:
<h1> Titty Sprinkles </h1>
It would come out to be something like:

Then there's the pretty obvious ones like <b> for bold, <emp> for emphasis, and... uh... honestly I have no idea what the fuck underline is supposed to be.
Anywho, next time in Part 2 (if it happens) I will talk about more advanced HTML commands, such as <div> and <ul>/<ol>. For now, test out what you know! (just remember: just <p> to make a paragraph.)

"Meeting God" by Anonymous
They say the best thing to say when you have nothing to say yourself is something someone else has said. This is a philosophical short story written by an anonymous person who knows how long ago, and was originally posted on the site"thecastsite.com"
Meeting God
By Anonymous
You were on your way home when you died.
It was a car accident. Nothing particularly remarkable, but fatal nonetheless. You left behind a wife and two children. It was a painless death. The EMTs tried their best to save you, but to no avail. Your body was so utterly shattered you were better off, trust me.
And that's when you met me.
"What... what happened?" You asked. "Where am I?"
"You died," I said, matter-of-factly. No point mincing words.
"There was a... a truck and it was skidding..."
"Yup." I said.
"I... I died?"
"Yup. But don't feel bad about it. Everyone dies." I said.
You looked around. There was nothingness. Just you and me. "What is this place?" You asked. "Is this the afterlife?"
"More or less," I said.
"Are you god?" You asked.
"Yup." I replied. "I'm God."
"My kids... my wife," you said.
"What about them?"
"Will they be alright?"
"That's what I like to see," I said. "You just died and your main concern is your family. That's good stuff right there."
You looked at me with fascination. To you, I didn't look like God. I just looked like some man. Some vague authority figure. More of a a grammar school teacher than the almighty.
"Don't worry," I said. "They'll be fine. Your kids will remember you as perfect in every way. They didn't have time to grow contempt for you. Your wife will cry on the outside, but will be secretly relieved." "To be fair, your marriage was falling apart. If it's any consolation, she'll feel very guilty for feeling relieved."
"Oh," you said. "So what happens now? Do I go to heaven or hell or something?"
"Neither," I said. "You'll be reincarnated."
"Ah," you said. "So the Hindus were right."
"All the religions are right in their own way," I said. "Walk with me."
You followed along as we strolled in the void. "Where are we going?"
"Nowhere in particular," I said. "It's just nice to walk while we talk."
"So what's the point, then?" You asked. "When I get reborn, I'll just be a blank slate, right? A baby. So all my experiences and everything I did in this life won't matter?"
"Not so!" I said. "You have within you all the knowledge and experiences of all your past lives. You just don't remember them right now."
I stopped walking and took you by the shoulders. "Your soul is more magnificent, beautiful, and gigantic than you can possibly imagine. A human mind can only contain a tiny fraction of what you are. It's like sticking your finger in a glass of water to see if it's hot or cold. You put a tiny part of yourself into the vessel, and when you bring it back out, you've gained all the experiences it had."
"You've been a human for the last 34 years, so you haven't stretched out yet and felt the rest of your immense consciousness. If we hung out here for longer, you'd start remembering everything. But there's no point doing that between each life."
"How many times have I been reincarnated then?"
"Oh, lots. Lots and lots. And into lots of different lives." I said. "This time around you'll be a Chinese peasant girl in 540 A.D."
"Wait, what?" You stammered. "You're sending me back in time?"
"Well, I guess technically. Time, as you know it, only exists in your universe. Things are different where I come from."
"Where you come from?" You pondered.
"Oh, sure!" I explained. "I come from somewhere. Somewhere else. And there's others like me. I know you'll want to know what it's like there but you honestly won't understand."
"Oh." You said, a little let down. "But wait, if I get reincarnated to other places in time, could I have interacted with myself at some point?"
"Sure. Happens all the time. And with both lives only aware of their own timespan, you don't even know its happening."
"So what's the point of it all?"
"Seriously?" I asked. "Seriously? You're asking me for the meaning of life? Isn't that a little stereotypical?"
"Well, it's a reasonable question." You persisted.
I looked in your eye. "The meaning of life, the reason I made this whole universe, is for you to mature."
"You mean mankind? You want us to mature?"
"No. Just you. I made this whole universe for you. With each new life you grow and mature, and become a larger and greater intellect."
"Just me? What about everyone else?"
"There is no one else," I said. "In this universe, there's just you, and me."
You stared blankly at me. "But all the people on Earth..."
"All you. Different incarnations of you."
"Wait. I'm everyone!?"
"Now you're getting it." I said, with a congratulatory slap on the back.
"I'm every human who ever lived?"
"Or who will ever live, yes."
"I'm Abraham Lincoln?"
"And you're John Wilkes Booth." I added.
"I'm Hitler?" You said, appalled.
"And you're the millions he killed."
"I'm Jesus?"
"And you're everyone who followed him."
You fell silent.
"Every time you victimized someone," I said, "You were victimizing yourself. Every act of kindness you've done, you've done to yourself. Every happy and sad moment ever experienced by any human was, or will be, experienced by you."
"Why?" You asked me. "Why do all this?"
"Because someday, you will become like me. Because that's what you are. You're one of my kind. You're my child."
"Whoa." You said, incredulous. "You mean I'm a god?"
"No. Not yet. You're a fetus You're still growing. Once you've lived every human life throughout all time, you will have grown enough to be born."
"So the whole universe," you said. "It's just..."
"An egg of sorts." I answered. "Now it's time for you to move on to your next life."
And I sent you on your way.

Yui810 2007-2013: The End of a Journey (Part 2)
"Yui810" was the account in which, you could say, for the first time I really got into the game. Previously, I logged in once and a while and got on a building game, then built till some asshole deleted my stuff. This time, I actually attempted to be part of this "community" of ROBLOX.
I began to socialize more in games, communicating with people in chat. Though my mother warned me of "the horrors of internet communication!" I figured, even though I was still a wee lad, I knew what I was doing (which, as it turns out, I did) and did it anyway. This was also the time I began to forum, mostly going on roleplays (I still had the imagination of a child, but still wanted things to go my way. This resulted in many a ban from roleplays, or me just ragequitting) and going on OT/SF, which at this time (Off Topic) was much more friendlier than it was now, and at this time I actually still enjoyed sports (Sports Forum). This trend continued until what is known as the UCW '09 (United Clan War '09), a war known by many names yet was still the greatest internet conflict and event I had ever participated in.
For those who joined later on after this war, it literally changed everything. In its wake, the creation of some of the greatest war-clan powerhouses (UCR, RAT, and FEAR) happened to be made this time, also the group feature (to this day members are still unsure if this was created due to the admins believing that clans were finally extremely popular, or to keep away from group confusion).
Anyway, the war went like this: The two greatest clans at the time, X-101st (which was the first group closing in to hitting 10k members) and REF (which, for the most part had the most "political" power on ROBLOX, being the main leader of the Roblox Coalition lead by NearmissTFW who, for the most part, was a secret REF benefactor.) This wasn't just any normal, "huehue clan war" though, this was as serious as two groups of 5-10 year olds could possibly get. Imagine: The front page of every sub-forum had something to say about the war. Every place you went to, even if it was an obby that had nothing to do with clan wars, had some clan members fighting over what was happening -- sometimes even blocking things for people who weren't in "their group".
Now, that's just the stuff that didn't involve clan wars: actual forts were filled to the brim with people. Tons of men would get on top the walls of the fort with carbines and shotguns until someone finally broke through -- killing the defenders and letting the attackers through. This continued until finally the server emptied. This was war.
Now, at the time, I was the "self-proclaimed" fourth-in-command of REF. I say "self-proclaimed" because in reality I probably wasn't, but that doesn't matter now since history belongs to the most-annoying and repetitive and most people who matter believe that I was (take in mind that, like I said, this was before the group feature). I also owned a group name the 24th legion, which had about 3 or 4 members, but like I said about history, that group is considered to be one of the main groups in the war.
Anyway, after that war (the REF-R.C ended up winning) I continued to C&G for awhile, until I moved back to OT due to "lack of action". A few months past by (more than a year in total) until the "moderation news" forum was somehow leaked on OT. This was before they had the intelligence to hide forums apparently, so everyone started posting on this particular forum. For the lels, I decided to post once -- and, long story short, I ended up getting perma'd for little to no reason.

This lead to more childlike depression, until finally I manned the fuck up and ended in probably the greatest of all my accounts and where the legacy really began (and ended): yui810ghostofotpast.

Yui810 2007-2013: The End of a Journey (Part 1)
Recently, I finally ended a long, 6 year legacy that was my Roblox account for more focus. The game might be shit now, but I would be lying if I said that I did not learn or gain anything from my experience on that site.
It started in July 2007. The exact day of which, I am not sure -- as the account has long since been banned. The name? monutdonut. Why? I was a fucking retarded child, I don't know why.
As the story goes, I was looking for a free-to-play MMO game to play, since my favorite at that time, Runescape, turned to shit with its member BS and I wanted to play a game that actually allowed you to do most of the features. About 50 Google pages and probably hundreds of viruses later, I happened to find "ROBLOX".
Now at this time, ROBLOX barely had any members compared to its three million or so today, so the community was small and games normally only had a few people on them at a time (the biggest games normally only had 300 online at one time compared to its 2k or so later). The only form of customization was t-shirts, but hats were hinted at beyond infinity and so were eventually implemented. I'd say my first game was probably Crossroads, which compared to what it is now was majorly different.
For the most part, the games were separated into three categories: ROBLOX games (such as Martian Invasion, Santa's Stronghold, Crossroads), RPGs (very early in design, I want to say the first popular one was "Legends" RPG, known for its absolutely ridiculous VIP), and Building games, obviously the most popular as the entire site was designed around just that -- building.
The best ones were, in my opinion, Space Explorers and the Island Roleplay. There were many others that were good, but were later changed, deleted, or just didn't make it anywhere. It was at one of these places though, where monutdonut ended.
At this point I have been playing the game for more than a year (August 2008 iirc), and I was at one of my favorite building games. The biggest menace in ROBLOX at the time were "deleters", and thankfully none had come into the server yet. I should've known my luck would change.
Out of no where, my beautiful house I had spent 2+ hours on started disappearing. In a flurry of child rage, I started spamming all of the cuss words I knew into chat, and eventually found myself disconnected.
I went to the homepage to find my account had been banned for excessive profanity.
I had strikes before from similar things, yet the feeling of being banned permanently from my favorite game was too much for me to handle. I whined, complained on the forums, and eventually cried myself to sleep like the faggot I was.
However, this was just the beginning, for the next morning I made an account under the name "yui810", and that's when things really got underway.

How to make drop down menus using JQuery
A cool little thing I learned today using JQuery (so I guess this kind of doubles as a TIL as well). You know the drag-down boxes located at some websites? Well, it's easy to do using some JS.
First, set up your html:
Most of this should seem pretty elementary to you. Well, the "h3" will be what displays as the "name" dropdown (aka the thing you see before dropping it down) while the <p> text is what follows.
Here's the actual JS:
The function is a pre-made feature inside of JQuery. I just thought it was kinda cool.

<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><title>[Title]</title><link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.9.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css'/><script type='text/javascript' src='script.js'></script><script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.9.1/jquery-ui.min.js"></script></head><body><div id="menu"><h3>[h3]</h3><div><p>[p]</p></div><h3>[h3]</h3><div><p>[p]</p></div><h3>[h3]</h3><div><p>[p] </p></div></div></body></html>
Most of this should seem pretty elementary to you. Well, the "h3" will be what displays as the "name" dropdown (aka the thing you see before dropping it down) while the <p> text is what follows.
Here's the actual JS:
$(document).ready(function() {$("#menu").accordion({collapsible: true, active: false});});
The function is a pre-made feature inside of JQuery. I just thought it was kinda cool.

TIL & is called an ampersand
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampersand
The more you know I guess.
I've been thinking of actually making this blog kind of a "Today I Learned" sort of thing, putting the old statement "You learn something new everyday" to the test. I did have this idea before and even though I didn't intend on making it this blog, it still could happen. It kind of goes against the name of the blog though, but that could be changed. Or perhaps just a small side-feature when I don't really have anything else to write? What does my silent audience think?
