Video doesn't work.

I am absolutely frustrated at this point, but I do not want to quit. (In my first walkthrough, I just never bothered and completed the game.) On October 20, 2014, I started my second walkthrough of Crash Bash. Because I was doing a few projects simultaneously back then since last year was the year I had that resolution to upload at least one video every day, there were some gaps between recording sessions/upload times, but those were essentially planned. These are the challenges I cannot complete: N. Ballism Crystal Challenge Pogo Padlock Crystal Challenge Sky Balls Gem Challenge Sky Balls Crystal Challenge Interestingly enough, though, I was able to do #1 and #3 on my first walkthrough, though I'm sure they took forever. The trophy challenge for N. Ballism on my current second walkthrough was bad enough. Earlier today I actually got really close with #3--two of my three opponents were taken out and both I and the remaining opponent had one "life," so to speak, left. One more pinball in either of our goals meant one of us would win--unfortunately, it wasn't me, and I wasn't able to get that close again. These are not my videos, but they will you give you an idea of the challenges: Edit: Probably doesn't help that I've only tried again probably only about 10 times since January. I've tried a few times within the past week or so, but because it wasn't as high a priority as my other projects, I kind of forgot about it and only tried again once every couple/few months.
8.1 is okay. It's on my laptop.
Took the day off from college to go with my mom to Issaquah for one of her prep appointments for her hip surgery in early November. It was a nice drive, except for the idiot drivers here and there. No. Should let it be out for a while so most of the bugs are worked out.
Thanks. I use a different method as seen above--it's actually how I learned it studying for my GED. A very basic example: what is 25 percent of 100? x over 100 = 25 over 100. 100 * 25% = 2,500 / 100% = 25 It's worked for me for the most part, it's just these two that got me. According to the book, it's amount of increase or decrease over base equals percent over 100%--essentially the same thing, they just do it a bit differently by going the longer route and isolating X, whereas I don't. I guess for these two I was just missing a step? $7.20 minus $6.12 which equals $1.08 and 100% minus 35% which equals 65%--and, actually, the book showed that, too, in its example question, where it had a 40% discount, but they used 60% in the equation. So my method was fine, I was just forgetting a step. View attachment 43344 You know what? Reading at least the second question I got stuck on again, I feel incredibly stupid. It was obvious I needed to subtract by the wording, "has been discounted 35%." What's the obvious indicator in the other one, though? The other questions were slightly different. A table lamp regularly priced at $12.59 is on sale for 30% off. What is the amount of the discount? What is the sales price? $12.59 * 30% = 377.7 / 100% = 3.777 The discount is $3.78 and the price is $8.81 ($12.59 - $3.78). View attachment 43345
@Iskandar, @Incognitus, @Mixt We're finishing up percentages, which are my strong point, but I'm stuck on two. The price of silver went from $7.20 a troy ounce to $6.12 a troy ounce during the past 6 months. This represents a decrease in price of what percent? I get 14.16%, but the book says 15%. 6.12 * 100 = 612 / 7.20 = 85 / 6 = 14.16666666666667 A tent is on sale for $32.49 and has been discounted 35%. What was the original price of the tent? I get $92.83--$60.34 difference--but the book says $49.98--$17.49 difference. And for this one, I even looked at the instructions and I did it correctly from what I can see. There was an example with the exact same question, just different numbers. 32.49 * 100 = 3,249 / 35 = 92.82857142857143 View attachment 43343
Phrasing.
As I was at college at the time, it didn't affect me personally, but the power was out for half the city for about an hour earlier here. A bird decided to be stupid and fly into a transformer. I'll be a nice guy this time and not get as upset, I guess.
Feeling sad 'cause you haven't responded to me. I mean, I'm doing well.
This can be locked. I think something at the college prevented it from connecting to the time server properly. I just synchronized it successfully here at home.
No day classes today! Assessment Day.

I hope to God not 30 hours straight.
It still gets hot inside: https://weather.yahoo.com/united-states/washington/ellensburg-2398618/
And that's funny... why? Seriously, I'm sweating at that temperature. Sometimes not even 72 is enough for a while.
