Before You Play 'Don't Starve,' Read Up On These Characters

My friends and I always describe it as "Minecraft on steroids."

One of my favorite indie and steam games to play is "Don't Starve." My friends and I always describe it as "Minecraft on steroids" because it's essentially a survival game that becomes increasingly difficult to play.

Today I'm going to be talking about the characters from "Don't Starve." I made the first part of this madly long list of characters in the past so if you want to see what other characters are available, feel free to check that article out!

Woodie

His character description is, "Has a lovely ax. And a terrible secret. Is thankful for bountiful harvests." What this actually means is that Woodie comes with his own ax but he also comes with a meter with how much logs he can chop. If he chops too much, he becomes a were-beaver where he is ultimately immune to most things but it also comes with many downfalls. After returning to his normal self, he will have very little sanity and health remaining. So be careful of who you provoke!

Wes

His character description is, "Can't talk. Has trouble staying alive. Practices balloonomancy." What this is trying to say in a nice way is that Wes is the worst character in the game. I'm not even kidding. Unfortunately, poor Wes comes with no benefits and only cons. He can make balloons but can hurt himself if he pops them. He also gets hungry faster than others and is weaker than most of the other characters as well. Don't pick him unless you really want a challenge.

Maxwell

His character description is, "Is dapper, but frail. Can split his mind into pieces. On a first-name basis with the night." Maxwell is the only character whose name doesn't start with a W and it doesn't just end there. His own character history is so interesting as he is the original character to have been trapped in the caves and required the help of other characters to get him out. In terms of character analysis, he can split his sanity into actual characters where he can help do work for him like fight on his behalf, mine rocks, or chop trees. His downside? Insanely low health. Just to give you an idea, Wigfrid has 200 health and Maxwell has only a whopping 75. Many mobs deal health damage of 15-25 so be careful as Maxwell.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
