10 Halloween Fun Facts and 5 of the Most Popular Costumes

Welcome back everybody to another post on ohyafunstation!! I mentioned Halloween a few days ago... and yes, I know Halloween happened a week ago. My apologies for this post being so late, I have wanted to make this post before Halloween, but I never got the chance to, and when I made the Diep.io and Diep.io Gameplay I thought they were more fun and interesting. So I left this topic aside. Well... without further ado... Here are 10 Halloween fun facts:

1. There are many other names for Halloween, such as Allhallowe'en, All Hallows' Eve, All Saints' Eve and Hallowe'en.
2. The word "Hallowe'en" means "hallowed evening" or "holy evening".
3. According to the National Retail Federation, people attending (a) party(ies) spent an estimated $2.8 on costumes overall, as of 2016.
4. McKamey Manor located in San Diego, California is the scariest Halloween haunted house.
5. Halloween sells more than twice as much chocolate as Valentine's Day.
6. Chocolate can last up to 2 years if stored in a dry and odor-free spot. 
7. Hard candy can last up to a year, while unopened packages of candy corn can last nine months,
8. 41 million-The approximate number of trick or treaters that were out and about this year on Halloween night. 
9. Orange and black are Halloween colors because orange is associated with the Fall harvest and black is associated with darkness and death.
10. Jack o' Lanterns originated in Ireland where people placed candles in hollowed-out turnips to keep away spirits and ghosts on the Samhain holiday.

To me, I found the fact that Jack o' Lanterns originated in Ireland was pretty interesting. Stereotypes make everybody associate Ireland with Leprechaun Day.

Here are 5 of the Most Popular Costumes:

1. Pokémon Go Trainer
2. Finn, Rey, and BB-8
3. Harley Quinn
4. Ghostbusters
5. Politicians
6. Phones

Even though the title says 5 of the Most Popular Costumes, I had to put Phones in there. On the night of Halloween, I saw about 1 out of every 30 people wearing a "phone" costume. Two of my classmates were exploding phones (phones on fire). This to me is very funny, because we have such "high" and "advanced" technology, such as hoverboards to VR experiences. Our most basic device: the phone, catches on fire or causes the user/owner to be in danger so often! It amazes as well as shocks me (pun intended), that our handheld technology goes...

Diep.io Gameplay

I’m back again to talk  about the game diep.io again! If you haven’t read my last post (below)please do so, then you will have more background knowledge for what I will be talking about.

Today, I played diep.io for a much longer time than I would have expected. For those of you who think this game is a waste of time, try it out and you might change your mind. But if you still think it’s lost cause.. then there’s nothing I can do. Anyways, I managed to get onto the leaderboard for a nice amount of time. I died at level 45!! That is my record for longest time alive. My evolution line was:

Basic (Tank), Sniper, Overseer, and finally, Necromancer.

  

The basic tank simply shoots regular bullets. The sniper shoots a faster and more accurate bullet that has much better penetration. The Overseer deploys drones that are in the shape of a triangle, controlled by your mouse/touchpad. Finally, the Necromancer turns/transforms obstacles that you destroy into your drones. These drones are square shaped with higher speed, health, and damage. They are also controlled by your mouse/touchpad. Along the way, your body damage also increases. Here are some screenshots of my gameplay and score:

As you can see, my "Nickname" was ohyafunstation!!! :)

The source for my evolution photos are from: http://diepio.gamepedia.com/Class_Tree

It provides simple and good information.

Diep.io

Do you guys know the .io game called diep.io, it is very intriguing and "hard" to stop. It is like a version of agar.io except with "tanks". The game is very simple, you start with a basic tank which looks like a circle with one barrel. Every 15 levels you can evolve your tank into stronger and more protected. To do this you have to destroy obstacles which are scattered around the map, you gain HP this way faster. Eliminating other players also give you HP, but in larger amounts. Along the way, every time you level up, you get to upgrade your tank in these categories:

1.  Health Regen(-eration)     
2.  Max Health
3.  Body Damage
4.  Bullet Speed
5.  Bullet Penetration
6.  Bullet Damage
7.  Reload
8.  Movement Speed

The evolutions of the basic tank branch out into four tank types: Machine Gun, Sniper, Flank Guard and Twin. Then, each of those tanks will be divided even further as you level up. Here are two charts of the evolutions...

Halloween!!! (late...)

I am so sorry everybody for not being able to post since Halloween. If you didn't know, I am still young enough to go “trick or treating” or as I like to call it… loot collecting. On October 31, I collected a fair amount of sweets. An adult would say it should last me a month and a half but I am pretty sure it will last me less than a week!! I personally love eating candy, I will sneak some into classes, keep some in my mouth on my way home, munch on candy when I do homework and spend all my extra change on it.

Halloween was a great excuse to get lots of candy and having it all for free! I know Halloween has passed already, but here are a few hacks and tips that you can use if you go trick or treating next year (they are not in a specific order):

1. Always carry a bigger bag than you actually need, because people who hand out candy tend to give you more if you have less in your bag/basket.
2. Empty your bag into something that is not visible to the person giving candy, since if you have an empty bag/basket they will pity you and give you more. this is similar to the previous tip.
3. You can put tape on the palm of your hand, so when you pretend to take one piece of “sweetmeat” you actually sneak a handful.
4. This hack is a classic, but if you don’t already know, here it is. You can bring multiple masks along with your main costume, this is so that when you go around a block that gives good quantities and qualities of candy, you can collect candy again and again. If you are lucky enough, after many different masks put one on that you have already been seen with, and use it again (many owners don’t remember who you are or if you have been there already.
5. This tip you should already know, go trick or treating earlier!! This way you beat the competitors and have more time to stash up.
6. I am personally unable to use this hack, but if you are young, you can bring a stuffed animal or even a pet. Dress your little "friend" up and give it a bag/basket. Candy handing people are sure to think that this is cute or adorable and give extra candy to your pet/stuffed animal. In the end, your pet/stuffed animal can't eat the sweets.. so it's yours!!

Happy Halloween (kind of??)!!!

Stay tuned for the next post!!

The Moment Everyone is Waiting for...

Hi everybody, Today I'll be telling you guys about the Halloween events at my school today. We have a school dance that happens during the last two periods of the day, but a few of my friends and I won't be attending it. The reason this is, because there were many choices of things that we could choose from during the two periods, such as going to the library, computer lab, playing (stupid) board games and other options. Naturally, my friends and I decided that the dance would not be too interesting, so we picked the computer lab.

Another reason the computer lab seemed appealing to me is that I could make posts during the time I was there. Ok, enough about me... As we all know Halloween is coming in THREE days!!! Like the procrastinator I am, I still do no have an exact costume, so that is still on my checklist. I am thinking about wearing a Slender Man's suit and tie, and then over that the cloak of the Grim Reaper. The idea of two costumes came from a friend of mine, he helped start this blog, but I have lost "connection" with him. Two costumes allow you to visit the same house twice without the owners recognizing that they have given you candy before. As a disclaimer, I am not encouraging anybody to "steal" or "trick" people, so you should do this at your own risk. 

Speaking of candy what is your favorite candy?? Mine would be Coffee Crisp!!

 I have to go now, see you guys in the next post... when I am in the computer lab.

Stressful into Cheerful

How is it going everybody, hope you're doing well or at least better than I am today. I have had a very tiring day and I have loads of homework... again.

On the bright side of the day, I went to an art class near my house. I have learned a lot from the classes, and in case you didn't know, art/drawing is one of my hobbies. The art class is called Freehand Art, here is a picture of the place:

We were practicing with watercolor and made color wheels on paint pallets. We used different pigments of colors, such as crimson red, lemon yellow, sap green, aquamarine blue and many cool colors.

As a note to my readers by the time I make this post it will probably be on Thursday 27 October, but it was intended to be posted on the day before that. So, sorry for any confusion that this might cause.

INDESTRUCTIBLE!!!! OMG, THIS DECK IS SOOO GOOD!!!

  Hey guy, I just want to start off saying that I've been getting crazy wins in Clash Royale with the deck that I have right now!! It's the same deck that I mentioned in my last Clash Royale post. Here are a few screenshot from my wins, and believe me, I got these wins in around 10 minutes!!!

If you have Clash Royale and have most of the main cards in the deck I mentioned then you might be OP like me!! Surprisingly the only matches that I have lost are the ones where I lose connection. In other words, I have won 95% (or more) of the fair matches. IT'S AMAZING!!! I hope you can try it out and if you do, tell me in the comments how well you did. I have moved from Spell Valley into the Builder's Workshop, which is arena 6, in only a few days!!

Here is the Clash Royale official website: https://clashroyale.com/

Thanks for reading everyone!! Stick around until the next post!!!

Finally...

  I finally managed to find some time to make a post. Sorry for not being able to make a proper post yesterday, I had loads of homework last night. Anyways, back to where we were.


  The two dogs I met at the coffee/pizza store were very adorable. I got two picture of one of the dogs, here he/she is:

  Tell me in the comments if you think he/she is a boy or a girl. Don't miss out next time, where I tell you about my Clash Royale wins.

School Break Right Now!!!

In school right now, and my next class is Woodshop and we will be making bridges. I hope I have time after school to make a more detailed post. Bye for now!!!

Scrambling for Time

I won't be having time today to make a proper post, so I talk to you guys tomorrow morning. Have a good night, thanks for reading!!

Two Rare Pokémon Cards

  Like I said in my last post, the two cards that I bought from a stand are in mint condition. The one that was $1.00 was a Golurk, the evolution of Golett and it had with 130HP. The second card that I bought was a Chesnaught, the evolution of Quilladin and its HP was 160, it cost $1.50. They are a good addition to my Pokémon Trading Cards collection.

When I left the festival I went to a coffee/pizza store where we ate our lunch and met, two people who had two adorable dogs. I will tell you the details of these delightful pets in my upcoming post. Have a good night everyone and I'll see you tomorrow!!

Toast to Autumn Festival

  Today I went to this festival called Toast to Autumn, and it was pretty fun. It is located at Lithuanian House 1573 Bloor St W from 12-7pm. The admission was free and got plenty of cool things. I got a tote bag from the free spin and entered the raffle. Each person got two free raffle tickets and you could win one more from the free spin. There was pumpkin carving, button making, tons of giveaways, a free photo booth, video game tournaments and lots of other things to do.

  There was a stand that sold Pokémon cards one by one. As an old Pokémon Trading Cards collector, I was tempted by two rare cards for $2.50 total. That was pretty expensive, but they were in mint condition, so I decided to buy them anyway.

Don't miss out on the next post, where I tell you what cards I bought!!

Three Wins in a Row!!!

I played Clash Royale for a while today and managed to get four wins in a row, one crown, three crown, another one crown, and finally another great three crown.

 

  

  The deck I used was better than I expected it to be. The mass amount of Minions helped me a lot with mirrored Balloons, and the Skeleton Army with any attacking troop (Hog Rider, Prince and Mini P.E.K.K.A.) was great for me to get a quick push. The Zap worked less effectively than I hoped against opponent's Minions, but is still did its job by stunning them. Last, but not least the Spear Goblins helped as back up for other troops. Overall, the deck is pretty cheap for its amount of effectiveness, so I hope you try it out and tell me how it went for you.

The Unsuccessful Saturday

  In my opinion, today as a weekend went completely different from what I had planned. I hoped to kick back and relax, but nope. I had extra class on french, which was "okay", but come on it's the weekend. I didn't exactly get to sleep in, 'cause I woke up at nine o'clock. A speedy breakfast, ploughed through my crap (homework), had pizza, then the weekend class. It was like extra help in french, except you get more homework, but overall I played some Clash (Royale), so the day wasn't too bad.

I will go into the details of the games in my next post, stay tuned!!

At Lunch

So, I'm at school right now, and the lunch period is about to end... So I'll catch you guys later.

The time this post will be displayed as will be around 7:49, because I saved the post as a draft when the bell rang at lunch.

Forgotten

  Ever since the time that I have been away, this blog has been very forgotten.

  I have dropped it out of my mind, my readers stopped visiting the blog, and in general it has been forgotten. Now that I have found available time and may be able to make posts everyday, I will continue this online "journal". So, I hope that you as a reader will follow me and my posts and share them with your friends, I would greatly appreciate you doing so. Thank you very much for taking your valuable time to read my posts. Thanks again!!

Since Last Year

This might sound crazy, but what I've been doing the past year or so is that I've been going to boarding school. The boarding school is pretty nice and is located in a great spot, the countryside of California. This school year, I've returned to Canada for school. As I was in boarding school, I missed my home, friends, and family in Canada, but now that I've come back to Canada, I miss the "freedom", environment, and new friends in California. It's a weird and unable to adapt feeling. So, I might return to California the next school year.

Don't miss out on the next post!

Optical Illusions

Optical illusions are always cool and fun to figure out so here is a simple one. Can you figure this one out? Is it a duck or a rabbit/bunny.

Write your answer in the comments below. Stay tuned for the next post.

I'm back!!!

Hey guys, been a long time since I posted. Been having a good time.

Catch you guys later.

Tank Trouble!!!

GO ME!!

I beat Laika in tank trouble by 27 to 5!! I totally crushed him/her/it!! It was like my tank had a scope (it obviously didn't) , I was so good in aiming and kept destroying Laika. It's kind of weird how Laika is this robot tank driving dog, this video might explain it...

And if you haven't noticed, but I've put a new tower defense game below tank trouble. The game is called Big Tree Defense, if you turn the volume on it, sounds like this creepy mid-night garden music (well it is music). The good (ish) part is that is saves your data, well for me it does. The games not bad and stay tuned for more games!

Poop Scala Continued...

POOPIE!!

Just finished dinner (well actually half an hour ago), I was just reading a Pokémon manga graphic novel. I kinda like Pokémon, I'll talk more about it later. So the Poop Scala I was talking about has very weird shaped appendages and a  near round body. Like I said before, his face is he icon of this blog and my profile picture. The pile of "poop" looking thing on his head could be chocolate ice cream, his own "you know what", bird turd or a brown squirt of ketchup. I'l be making a poll on what the "poop" looking thing on his head should be.

Poop Scala

Poop!!

Like I said I will be telling you about Poop Scala. Well here I am, any ways Poop Scala is a little person/thing that has a round head, a smiley face with a tongue and a pile of "poop" on its head. Notice I said "it"... 

POOP!!!

Still in School

Prison

So true...

Were in the computer lab right now, so yeah... Just had a stupid fight fight in class with this other kid. Had to right on a piece of paper what happened. ANNOYING!!! Only a few more minutes until we leave school!! HA, HA IN YOUR FACE SCHOOL!! Anyways I'm of to play Commando 3. I'll tell you about Poop Scala soon...
