The Megamind Academy

Megamind Academy. Probably you've never heard of it. That's because the Megamind Academy is my homeschool. I'm the only student. That has its benefits, but it also has its fair share of downsides (i.e. when the techer aka my dad yells it's always at me.) Sometimes school can really suck but most of the time it's fairly average. It's considerably easier since my new philosophy, which is to do my work first, no matter if even I've got the perfect chance to play a video game or watch TV while my dad is gone on an errand or something. I always put my work first because if I slack off all the time during school I will have an extremely hard time finding a job and holding it because I likely won't be qualified and my work ethic will suck. If I spend all my time goofing off in school, chances are I'll probably do it at work too. Then my boss will come in and fire me. All my time will be spent searching for a job and wishing that I paid attention in school. Wishing can't change the past, but I can change the future if I take the time and effort to focus on my schoolwork and stop playing video games.

Basset

We also have a basset hound named Daisy. She is the nicest dog you'll ever meet, and never bites anyone. She is a basset, and is lazy most of the time. Sometimes she'll leave out her food, and Gretchen will eat it. She can be stupid that way. Funny. She always barks at people out the window but only because Gretchen does it. Recently, she has been getting into trouble. She has gone through a whole brand new loaf of bread in about a half hour, and also tore up a roll of paper towels. Dad says she does this while looking for food. One funny thing about Daisy is she will sleep for an hour or so, then will wake up and bark for no apparent reason whatsoever. This sets Gretchen off, to which Daisy responds by barking some more until we have a regular little barkfest going on. She has developed her timing with this to the point where she almost always does this while my dad is on the phone, which drives him absolutely nuts. We rescued her, from a shelter, where g uy hadlet her leg heal from a fracture without setting it. He was MEAN.

IGF

The IGF is a powerful military organization. It stands for Interuniversal Gaming Federation. The current leader is Alterer of Reality, second in command is GoldenHero20. Former leaders are KidinCamo and RazorFang, who were both ousted due to participation in conspiracies. The organization is renowned for their advances in science, weaponry, and technology, which are eons ahead of their time. Notable technologies include: Radguns, powerful guns that fire large amounts of radiation. ESM's, missiles enveloped in an energy field that disrupts shields and adds power. Echo bombs, relativity bombs that create a reverb-collapse field powerful enough to disintegrate things atom by atom. Many of these and other technologies allow the IGF to dominate most if not all other military forces in this and most other universes. The IGF's standard cruiser is the Startillery Cruiser. This cruiser houses four powerful radgun turrets, and a battery of ESMs. It has an elevated bridge with windows on all four sides to give a perfect 360 view of the battle. They also use R-59 Gunrunners, which are powerful gunships with reverse-cycling gamma ray accelerators.

Dachshund

We have a dachshund, named Gretchen. She is small, black, with brown markings. She is very protective, and will bark at anyone she sees out the window and sometimes bite them if they come inside. She likes to sleep under covers, and also sometimes on the back of couches. She can be hyper, and also is duped very easily. Sometimes, she brings me a little ball to play with, so I hide it and both my hands behind my back. I switch the ball from the one hand to the other, then slowly bring the one hand out, careful to conceal that the ball is not in there. She watches that one, not noticing as I bring the other hand out, concealing the ball. Then I throw it and she races after it anyway. Sometimes, I will kick the ball. I draw my foot back as if to kick it to the right, then kick it to the left. That confuses her bigtime.

Why two fighters?





These two fighters are the workhorses if the I.G.F. The one on the left is the IGF MN-001 Onrusher, the right one is the 669 Flashfire Destroyer platform. Both fighters are used for specific fighting areas, the Onrusher for atmosphere, the Flashfire for space. There are simple reasons for these. No. 1 is that the Flashfire carries several onboard ESM (energy sheathed missile) batteries, which in atmosphere can burn and explode, crippling the ship. The Onrusher is fast, but only maneuverable in atmosphere, because of four propellers mounted on the wings. In space, these are rendered useless, leaving the ship a lot more vulnerable to enemy fire. The Onrusher also has a powerful zeusium armor, which, when supplied with a hefty current, produces a powerful ion field enough to deflect the fastest of projectiles, but lets most energy through. However, the zeusium itself can absorb light energy fire and dissipate it in the form of lightning and bright light. Rarely does this ever actually destroy or cripple a ship, but it still looks cool. The Flashfire is equipped with standard olympium armor, as well as repeating railguns and ESMs. The Onrusher is equipped with ion cannons and a radgun.

JELLYFISH

Jellyfish (Class: Scyphozoa) and jellies (Phylum: Cnidaria) in general, are a unique group of species God has placed on this Earth. For one, they have no brain, no heart, no lungs, nor any other organ we, as higher life forms, have deemed necessary for life. God truly is amazing, as he has made these creatures in a manner that allows them to live without these vital organs, with simply a motor system and a digestive system. Many of these creatures also have no reproductive system, but reproduce by splitting in half (budding), but some merely eject clouds of sperm or eggs into the water, allowing them to be fertilized at random. Jellyfish control their depth via an organ called a statocyst, which is little more than a sensitive sack filled with small "stones". They also posess light-sensitive ocilli, which detec the horizon. Meanwhile, the statocyst detects which way is up. They sting by means of little coiled harpoons attached to poison sacs. When a sensitive cilia outside the poison cell is touched, the harpoon uncoils and injects its toxic payload. Certain jellies can, untreated, cause death within minutes. Many jellies are very big. The Sea Nettle can reach 20 feet. However, the Arctic Lion's Mane can reach an incredible 100 feet! That's five, count 'em, sea nettles end to end. The Arctic Lion's mane can reach up to 14 feet in diameter too! Nasty, nasty jelly. Recently, fisherman have been having problematic problems with an increase in jelly populations of Japan. Too many jellies means any fish not eaten will be too slimed or too poisoned to be any value. So what did they do? They created a new food fad, thats what. Take your jelly and cut off the tentacles, then boil it untill it melts. Let it set, cut it into strips, salt and let dry. Deep fry the strips, bread them, and voila. You have just made something that (literally) tastes like chicken! Seriously, I read this report, this one guy says jellyfish tastes almost exactly like chicken! How weird is that?! At any rate...

Hope you liked this post!

One Track Mind

Sometimes, I'll watch one of my favorite shows or read one of my favorite books, then, when my parents are saying something, I find it impossible to listen because my mind keeps wandering off and thinking about what I just read/watched. I wonder if I should put it on a leash... Anyway, so it can be really annoying, especially when they say "...understand?" because then I have to ask for them to repeat it over again which ticks us both off. It can get frustrating, and has been the cause of more than one yelling match.

Mothman

Mothman is a winged bipedal cryptid that lives near Point Pleasant, West Virginia, U.S.A, Earth, Sol system. It apparently lives in a former munitions storage facility known locally as the TNT area. It is usually described as seven feet tall, and twice as broad as an average adult male human. Its wingspan, fully extended, is about 10-30 feet. It has no head, just two glowing red eyes set into the chest area. Mothman is apparently capable of sustained flight speed of at least 120 mph, incredibly, without flapping it's wings. It also is capable of "hypnotizing" with it's eyeshine and vertical takeoff. Mothman is noteablt because several other creatures highly similar in appearance to it were sighted before disasters. Mothman's disaster was the collapse of the Silver Bridge. It has lead to this particular brand of cryptid being called the Doom Heralds by the I.G.F.'s special ops force, Team Beta. It is hypothesized that the Doom Heralds emit an energy from their eyes which manifests as red or yellow light. This can cause tingling and fear if it touches the skin, if shined into the eyes it can cause amnesia, loss of motor control, and apprently even cardiac arrest. Mothman is also unique by the fact that mass hysteria seems very unlikely to be responsible for the sightings, as many sightings are by multiple witnesses. Mothman is also unlikely to have been a hoax, as no hang glider could do what the creature was dscribed to do. UFOs were also sighted in the area around the time of a rash of Mothman sightings.

The IGF often has to fight the Planet plague. The planet plague is sort of a slime beast that feeds off energy. It is VERY hard to kill, as most attacks just feed it. However, starving, freezing, or overfeeding has been shown to work. The Lok-Uzt also has to fight it, but hasn't ever beaten it.

IGF File Access - File no. 22487 - Startillery Cruiser

The Startillery Cruiser is a medium sized Cruiser ship equipped with 6 fusion coil engines, 4 radgun turrets, static cloak shield generators, and 2 MAC-propelled ESM launchers. The ship is approx. 2000 meters long. It has a 5-foot olympium hull capable of blocking most if not all weapons available to any other faction in the universe. It's hangar bay can contain up to 100 669-Flashfire craft, 60 SHARD bombers, 110 Onrusher fighters, or 55 R-59 Gunrunner gunships. Its ESMs are large enough to reduce entire moons to flaming molten rock. The radguns can pump out enough radiation to turn a lush jungle planet into a clicking hot radioactive rock. These cruisers are at the helm of every IGF assault, and while they are not the largest ships in the IGF fleet, they are certainly one of the most well-armed.

Greetings from the IGF world Varnua. This is Alterer of Reality, Supreme Leader of the Interuniversal Gaming Federation. I am 13 years old, going into 8th grade at school. Which I hate. Another thing I hate is always fending off Earth from attacks. You'd think the EDTF (Earth Defense Task Force) would be able to fix things on it's own. Actually, it usually can, but it doesn't really stand much chance against the Lok-Uzt Union, the Planet Plague, or the Flood. Those require I.G.F. attention.

Anyway, hello to all of you who are reading this. This is my first blog, and will contain data on the IGF as well as several other things I like. Congrats if you like it. Also, usually I enjoy doing things my own way, away from peer pressure. Take fashion for example. I always wear whatever I want to, regardless of fashions.

I also dislike my diet. I'm "allergic" to wheat, eggs, milk, cashews, and peanuts. Granted that it's not life-threatening, but when I eat them, my behavior goes out the window. I enjoy cryptids, sci-fi, too many TV shows and RPs to name, and video games. My favorite cryptid is MothMan, from West Virginia, who is in my photo.
