Video Game Review

Bio-Shock

Bio-Shock is a video game for PS3. The beginning is a plane crash and you swim to a building. When you enter the building you go into this little metal little submarine and it takes you into Rapture. When you get out of the submarine you have to go and get some plasma. Plasma helps you use the powers you get and through every level you have to fight Zombie like people who have gone crazy. In every level there is a special person you must fight, and you must also fight a Big Daddy who protects the little sisters. You have the choice to save or harvest them. At the end of the game you must beat Ryan the creator of rapture. I thought this game was hard if you’re into semi-difficult video games I bet you will find fun in this game. -Kierstin.

** Volley ball **

Something’s I know about volleyball are:
 * 1) You must serve from the restraining line until after contact.
 * 2) Ball may be served underhand or overhand.
 * 3) You automatically lose a serve if you touch the net or go under.
 * 4) You can’t reserve if you touched the ball.
 * 5) The way to score is:
 * 6) Rally scoring will be used.
 * 7) There will be a point scored on every score of the ball.
 * 8) Offense will score on a defense miss or out of bounds hit.
 * 9) Defense will score on an offensive miss, out of bounds hit, or serve into the net.
 * 10) Game will be played to 25 pts.
 * 11) Must win by 2 points.

I have been able to experience volleyball on my High School volleyball team my freshman & part of my sophomore years. I was front left the whole season my freshman year. It to me was the best time of my life. I will be going back to it when I get home.

Cross Roads Well, I thought this movie was actually really good. It is about these three girls who had these dreams when they were young, then when they graduated High School, they went to go follow their dreams. They ended up doing so. Yes, it is a chick-flick, but, I don’t care. It has really good relationships throughout the movie, and they just live their lives the way they want too. Don’t we all want that? It also shows a big amount of respect towards women, which is HUGE. Thanks Craig, it was a good movie. -Wyatt.

March 7th 2012 Aries Horoscope

Don’t fly today, things are falling from the sky. Break up with your girlfriend, because she’ll break up with you in tomorrow’s horoscope. Don’t walk in front of a lion. Don’t talk to people named Merv, bad things will happen. If you want to hear something negative, seek out people named TY. By Zac

Just Cause 2 This is my favorite video game of all time. It’s a very fun game that has the biggest open world map of any video game out there. Pretty much, you just go around and mess stuff up. You can steal military vehicles and ride or fly around the world. It’s about one man that goes against an entire army to find someone he is paid to find. You are equipped with unlimited grappling hooks and parachutes. I highly recommend this game to at least try out. I guarantee you will like this game.

I like Breaking Dawn. It was the best movie. It was funny and sad. Bella died from the baby. Her friend Jacob knew something was gong to happen and that if Bella becomes a vampire it’s a threat to the wolf pack and Bella can die. Edward got her to have a baby and she is dying and Edward has to put venom in her first. While he was doing that every one else was fighting the wolf and Jacob made his own pack and they won and at the end of the movie Bella comes back to l ife.

Music Review

My favorite rapper is Tupac Shakur, because his raps speak out to me. People in this world judge Tupac by his music, because he does not speak, as people would like him. All they hear is he raps about girls, drugs, gangs, and swears. All those people are haters, because if they actually heard the lyrics then their perception would change. My opinion is that he is the best rapper who lived and no one will replace him. He gives me motivation to pursue my dream of being a rapper. He is my idol in the rap industry.

RIP TUPAC

All My Fault

My arms were wide open, as tears are strollin down my eyes Trying to hold my emotions inside While saying my last goodbyes Being arrested in front of my babies Hurts me more then words can say or mean Leaving the door with the kids hanging on my legs Cops screaming at them to get off and leave Makes me just wanna hit and run Arriving in jail, knowing I’ll never see my family again For a long time Leaves me with one thing to do, since I’ll never see them again, which is to not give a dang about what happens to me Sitting behind bars not receiving one letter, knowing I did this all to myself Kills me deep down inside. By Teesha T.



My favorite Game!

One game I like is Need For Speed Underground 2. The reason why I like the game is the cars and the races. The cars I like are the Hondas, the Hondas are really fast when you put in turbo and Nos it really makes the cars go. And the races, the races are really cool and you get to race other cars too! And the most important part of the game is the money, after you win you get money on every race.

I like to play football, it’s one of my favorite sports. The BYU football team is one of my favorites. My favorite player on the BYU team is my uncle Travis Uale, I look up to him a for all the things he went through. I have an older brother who is now playing for Stanford University. That is why football is one of my favorite sports.

= BY: CC - MUSIC REVIEWWS- = What I think about music is music tells apart about your life. Depending what type of music you listen to. Music that we listen to is music that descirbes who we are and how we are. By our styles and ways of slang speaking. Music means a lot to everyone, because we became the person who we are today also because of music we learn a lot how the feelings we feel hearing music. Music is based on a lot on how we dress, feel, do, talk about and who we want to be. Half of a lot people make music because that’s who they are and want to because they enjoy singing it and writing about it. Most people listen to music to learn from a lot that they can show others how it felt living as they were living their life style and how it was during their time being a kid and what good and bad things happen in there life. I know music represents us and what we are in the inside and out.

** For the last couple of weeks people have not been using their common sense. ** ** They have been swearing, talking about inappropriate stuff in front of staff and just not caring about what they’re doing or saying to people. ** ** It’s pretty sad, because once some of us are graduated and home with our families the others are here being miserable and stuck on their levels, because they don’t know how to be smart... ** ** It’s pretty sad to look at them and think that they are going to be in rehab facilities their whole teenage years, while I’m home with my family having a good time. Maybe what they should do is just use consequential thinking. ** ** And if not, oh well. It don’t hurt me, it hurts them… ** ** By: Kayla **
 * Dear ARTEC **

DEAR ARTEC I sit here away from my family. It sucks. I should of thought before I acted. I hate it here, it sucks. I hate staff. They think they run this place. They’re stupid and worthless. They’re so dumb they expect us to respect them when they treat us like crap. But oh well, there’s nothing we can do. When we tell the supervisor they don’t do nothing about it. They don’t believe us, but oh well you always have to remember THE PAST CANNOT BE CHANGED FORGOTTON EDITED OR ERASED IT CAN ONLY BE ACCEPTED. DeslyAy, I know it's hard to be up in this piece, but you got to keep your head up in this place or you won't get that far in this place. I may not know you but I know how it is being locked up. I'm here for you, cause their aint nothing worse than being locked up and alone. You will eventually change your perception about this piece. Remember what don't kill you will make you stronger. MUCH RESPECT 4 YA. By: Ty'rheil B.

** Dear A.R.T.E.C ** ** Well, I’m here in A&D for the 4th time and I’ve been here on and off for the last 2 years. I first came to A&D when I was 13. Somewhere along the line I realized that __NOT__ cooperating and giving attitude and thinking that I would beat the system would never get me anywhere. I’m living proof, because I’m still sitting here in rehab just like I was two years ago. I’ve been in the day treatment too. So this goes out to all of the kids in A&D; stay positive and when things don’t seem to be fair look deep into yourself and know you can get through this and you will be where you want to be before you know it. You can’t beat the system and if you keep trying have fun being in it for the rest of your teenage years. ** ** LOVE ERMA **

Music Review

Cali Dreaming by KID_INK

What I like about this song is he talks about him living in a hard place before moving to California. But when he starts a new life out there he finds out that it’s better in California. So he stays and he’s loving his new life and has a family. Also he finds a job becoming a rap artist and making thousands of dollars but not trying to ruin his new life at becoming a star. He finds another rapper name TYGA and makes music with him so now they're both big stars in the music industries. Rating *stars

Music Review. Wyatt B. Well, I decided to do a music review on the new Rascal Flats album Still Feels Good. It’s a sweeeeeet album. Some good songs are Secret Smile, No Reigns, Still Feels Good, Every Day, and Take Me There. Country is the only music to me that doesn’t get old, and doesn’t degrade women, or anything. Speaks to me, and makes me respect women that much more.

My favorite basketball team is the Lakers because I lived in LA!!My favorite basketball player of all time is Lebron James, because his style is way sick!

 * Fallout 3 is one of my favorite games. You can almost do anything in Fallout 3. You can be a good hearted wastelander or an evil pirate of the wastes. I thought Fallout 3 had a really good storyline. I also liked all the side quests that were optional. I would give it 5 stars. **
