And one more thing before I go.
Now, if you keep up with gaming news, you probably have heard about E3. For those of you who have no idea about what I'm talking about (Most likely all of you), E3 is the Electronic Entertainment Expo, where big gaming reveals are made and people get to try out demos of the new games before they're released.
One thing that has sparked much controversy is Nintendo's E3 presentation. In my opinion, it was okay. As usual, Nintendo put on an entertaining show with their second Nintendo World Championships, the first one after 25 years. For their Digital Event, they used puppets, which was fun.
But I'm not here to talk about puppets. Everyone agrees that Nintendo's E3 wasn't really the best one. There was a relative lack of new announcements, and while many of the games looked fun, there wasn't really anything as groundbreaking as Splatoon last year. But last year's performance was a tough one to follow. However, out of a mere sub-par performance, half of the Nintendo community has erupted into an overreactive flame. Many say that the Wii U and Nintendo are dying or already dead. Many are petitioning for the cancelation of the most controversial title shown, Metroid Prime: Federation Force. Some are going as far as to say that Iwata and Reggie should be fired.
Woah, calm down. It's not like solar emissions are about to destroy all life on the planet.
Currently, the situation is this: A third of the people on the E3 2015 community on Miiverse are flaming Nintendo. The rest of us are trying to act mature. Nintendo has made poor showings before, and we didn't try killing them then. Months from now, hopefully we can all look back on this and laugh.
Hopefully. I'm not in very high spirits for this community. We're trying to control the flames, but they won't go out.

Williams College Reunion: Part 1
Yeah, we're still here. Are you?
Anyway, my summer's gotten a decent start so far. Right as the last day of school ended, I was immediately picked up by my mom to catch our plane. Today, we would be flying to Massachusetts to attend my mom's 25th college alumni reunion. (Forensics team, I'm sorry I missed the bonfire) Our flight plans were as follows: Fly to SFO (Getting the inevitable delay in the process, because that's what our local airport is famous for), wait a few hours in the United Club, then take a 5 hour red-eye (Overnight flight) to Boston, and drive a few hours to Williamstown.
While I was surprisingly awake getting off the red-eye, I ended up falling asleep in the car, leaving my mom open to humiliate us on Facebook. I wanted to remove it, but once it's on the internet, there is literally no way to remove it from the internet entirely. When we got to Williams, we were given dorms to sleep in during our stay. We had lunch in town and everyone slept for most of the day. I played video games as usual. Meantime, I was questioning why these dorms didn't have air conditioning.
Afterwards, we all went out to the field for dinner. My mom talked to people about stuff I could not comprehend. I wasn't interested in the other activities going on, so it was a bit of a boring wait for me. Dinner was nice, there was a buffet in a tent set up on the field, and the food was pretty good. Then we went back up to try and sleep.
A few minutes after, we were interrupted by the tornado siren.
I'll be trying to update this once a day. There might be breaks in between for various reasons, either I didn't have the time or I forgot to. I'll try to avoid that.
