Starcraft2: All About the Medivac!

The Medivac is a nifty unit! It's used to heal any biological unit in the game. They can even heal your ally's biological troops! The Medivac costs 100 minerals and 100 vespine gas. It can carry up to 1 of the following: 1 Thor, 8 marines,  4 marauders, or 2 Seige tanks. It takes up 2 supply, and takes 42 seconds to build. It's hotkey is "d". It has 200 energy and it's movement speed is 2.5. It's sight radius is  11. It is mechanical so it cannot be healed by another Medivac. To make a Medivac, you need a starport; to get a starport you need a factory; to have a factory you need a barracks. The Medivac has a new command called "Ignite Afterburners" which makes it go even faster for 20 seconds! The Medivac's hit points are 150 and cannot attack. What strategy do you use with the Medivac?

Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm: All About the Thor


Hey all you Starcraft 2 players out there! I'm going to be blogging about the Thor today! The Thor is expensive but very powerful. In Heart of the Swarm, the Thor has a new ability called High Impact Payload which activates its 250mm Punisher cannons that strike a single air target for heavy damage. The Thor costs 300 minerals and 200 vespene gas. It takes exactly one minute to build and takes up 6 supply. It's hotkey is "t", cargo size is 8, and it's sight radius is 11. To make a Thor, you have to have a factory with a tech lab and an armory. The Thor's hit points are 400. It can be carried by a medivac, but it takes up all of the space. The Thor is strong against stalkers, marines, and mutalisks. It's weaknesses are immortals, marauders, and zerglings. This unit is classified as a "massive" unit. The Thor is my favorite unit! Tell me in the comments section if you use a specific strategy with the Thor.

Laser Tag at Ultrazone in Portland, Oregon!!


Have you ever played laser tag? Well, not like this one! Once we got to Ultrazone, we played the arcade while we waited for our group to be called in. When our first game started, we went into the briefing room where the Game Master explained all the rules. Finally, he let us into the armory where there were three different colors of vests which were blue, yellow and red. We put on our team vests, grabbed our guns and lined up to play. The Game Master turned on a siren which signaled us to run into the arena and start the game. We had to shoot other team colors to accumulate points. Also there were bases which had flashing lights to shoot and when you found one that is not the color of  your own vest, you can blast it to get massive numbers of points! Once it makes a sound like an explosion, that means you have destroyed it and it's time to move on. There was even an upper level  of the arena where you could snipe other people from above. I can't wait to go back with my friends!

Sand Dune Jumping at Fort Stevens, Oregon!



There was sand everywhere, in my eyes, my ears, and my hair! My brother and I went camping with my Mom and Dad near the beach. There were huge sand dunes everywhere! Once we got settled in at our camping spot, we went to play on the sand dunes to jump and wrestle in the sand. After that,we walked along the beach and at the same time my brother and I were throwing mud right and left at each other! We also threw our dog a stick into the water to go fetch. We had an AWESOME time at the beach! Also, when we dug with our shovels, our dog went crazy because he really wanted to dig too!
