Google Champion Island Games

By Paloma Lage - Paily

On July 23 2021, Google posted the ‘Google Doodle’ called ‘Doodle Champion Island Games’ which is a 7-part course of games which have been recently added or have been in the Olympics for a while. The seven games are - Rock Climbing, Archery, Skateboarding, Rugby, Synchronised Swimming, Ping Pong and Marathon Running - all of which have previous winners (all NPC’s). The previous winners (after you beat them) are called - Tanuki (Skateboarding), Princess Otohime (Synchronised Swimming), Fukuro (Climbing), Tengu (Table Tennis), Yoichi (Archery), The Oni (Rugby) and The Kijimuna (Marathon Running).

Currently, the fastest person to speedrun the Google Doodle (Any% and with Warps), is from Japan and has done it in a bit over 8 minutes (when this article was written)! Overall, this is an incredible game with great animations in between, great pixel art and nice music! It has become very popular and is a fun way to compete in a (mini) olympics at home!

It´s freeeeeeeezing in Spain.

By Tana Lage Otero January 11th This winter has started with very low temperatures in Spain. Tons of snow are covering not only the mountains and the roads, but also the streets and the cities all around the country. In fact the heavy snowfalls and the low temperatures are breaking all the records. The storm responsible for this situation is Filomena, a storm that has been visiting Spain for more than a week now. As a result you can see white landscapes that resemble Christmas cards and kids are making snowmen and playing with the snow all around our country. The problem is that it is difficult and dangerous to walk or to drive because of the snow and the ice on the ground. Luckily we live near the sea and it rarely snows in Redondela. Anyway, these days you will find everything covered in white frost when you get up early in the morning as you can see in the photo of the field in our farm. According to the...

Among Us

Among Us By Paloma Lage - Paily Among Us was created by InnerSloth LLC on the 15th of June, 2018! It is (when normally played) a simple game where there are a few (1-3) impostors who can kill (with a cool down) and can vent around the maps - to get around faster. The goal for Crewmates is to figure out who the impostor(s) are before it’s too late - when there are 4 total people, two of which are impostors or 2 total people, 1 of which is an impostor. The impostor also has the ability to sabotage lights (crewmates can see VERY little), oxygen (crewmates have a certain amount of time before they same) same thing for Among Us has evolved a lot by having fanart, animations, custom mods and much more! Some popular (crewmate) mods are - Sheriff, a crewmate who can try and ‘shoot’ impostors but if they guess wrong they die as well, Engineer - they can vent (like the impostor) and have a ‘auto-save’ for any emergencies.
