Ben’s Choice Award

Posted on September 12, 2011 by Ben — No Comments ↓

What’s this? A golden badge of hope, glory and self utternised boastation? . . . Yeah, so what if I make up new words, there’s not enough of them.

The Ben’s Choice Award is an award given by Bill. Pffft. The award is given by Ben to the posts he enjoys the most, those that receive a Ben’s Choice Award, will receive an achievement, plus 100 points. The points they can use in the store to purchase virtual downloads and possibly an item or too.

I know, isn’t that great? Anyways, here’s the list of our lovely award-winners so far!

My Thoughts On: ‘Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS’ I have to say, Doctor Who is a relatively odd experience for me these days. There have been many episodes in the Matt Smith episode that have just left me completely disappointed and dislocated from the absorbing storyline of the Time Lord and his many companions. To me it has been quite unnerving, because many ...
Apologies for my Boring. *Groans with boredom* If you are a reader of this blog/site… and have been for awhile… then I truly super-duper-mega 5000+ APOLOGISE for the mind-melting-ly boring flow of posts that I’ve written over the years. If you’re a regular reader I really admire your perseverance, concentration… or stupidity… don’t panic, I’m sure it’s one of the first ...
An Interview with Lyndon Riggall This is an interview conducted, as part of my media course, with my awesomeness cousin, Lyndon Riggall – you can check out his blog right here. Ben: Today we have with us an inspired and very, (very) good literature driven Australian, who has so many online blog posts, and so many online book reviews that you could be ...
Quick Update Just thought I’d write a quick post to let you know that now, after finally figuring out what was wrong with ‘Scribble’s Notepad’ after it for some reason refused to open… I am at last continuing with its development. I’m not sure if I shall call this version 2.6 or ‘Scribble’s Notepad 3′ yet – ...
The Case of the Missing $20… and the Potato Holy cow, am actually on the internet after waiting for several months… (I’ll explain later) Now usually on this blog I leave out as much as I can about my school life, it’s the same for social networks – I’ve never said what year of education I’m currently ‘enduring.’ I feel though that for this post ...
Sunsets and Closure ‘Sunsets and Closure’ – a photo of mine that I’ve released under Creative Commons on Flickr… so far it’s my first photo on there… but I hope to release more. If you would like to download it as a wallpaper, it’s here too. Greetings once again… I’d like to complain about my own lack of commitment ...
Hope You’re Safe Yesterday was a very uncomfortable day. Not just because of the heat – but because of the possibility of a nearby bushfire, just under 2km away from where I live. Using the hose to spray the roof and grass around the house became a nervous addiction as this surreal unpredictable occurrence took place. Engulfing the sky ...
Don’t Fall Quite recently I’ve seen an outbreak of depressing and hope depriving statuses scattered across the social internet. Funnily enough, this is the kind of saddening banter that filled MySpace up to the brim before it toppled sideways and everyone ran out trying to find a Book with their Face in it. Inevitably social media is ...
The Vloggery Bloggery Channel of OCD Hey there! Now as many of you would know because I’ve been talking about it for a while, I’ve been making a new YouTube channel for my personal vlogs and projects. Well that channel has now issued its first video vlog/thing, ‘the INTRODUCTION!’ I’ve been editing this on and off for the last few weeks – and ...
Lost Words from a Mind My mind isn’t the person that my mouth describes. One thing that has always annoyed me is that my consciousness seems to be on a whole different plane to who I am when I speak. There is so much going on, so many thoughts, this seriousness, this seemingly knowledgeable being inside that never actually appears to exist at all. ...
Work in Progress’es I get it, you may be upset that there haven’t been that many posts coming from me recently. Let me save you the whole “I’ve been pretty ruddy busy” speech that I usually give when I start receiving complaints… and just show you that “I’ve been pretty ruddy busy” instead. As you can see above, there ...
Holidays… Fun. Hello there, fellow beings… So it’s the holidays, a supposedly relaxing period of time where you are free to do anything you want. Who’s enjoying themselves? Are you going to town every second day to socialize with friends, going to the beach every other day just because you can? Well, good on ya’ for having a ...
What do you think? I need someones opinion on this piece I’ve written for creative writing. March 5th, Monday Dear dairy, We’ve just moved into a new house and it’s huge! Mum and Dad wanted to get away from the city and brought a magnificent Victorian house on the edge of a forest. A large amount of the forest is our land ...
My Painful War of Total Pre-Exam Doom These last few days seem to have been going quite… painfully. Exams are approaching fast, and it’s no secret that they are an incredibly important aspect of school life. Essentially you’re controlling your own future in employment opportunities. So it comes as no surprise that I find it highly suspicious that the closer we get to ...
Me is Brainz Dead AHGIHAWIbla!hblhioahwlabalwhi! Translation: Hey guys! Won’t be a very long post. I was a bit reluctant to start writing this post, as I think my brain is actually on the verge of a full meltdown. Despite the fact I seem to be stringing words together pretty flawlessly… for now… anyhow, last Friday I noticed that my focus seemed ...
Excessive Creation Disorder What is this place? Oh yes! Of course, it’s my blog, website, portfolio… HOW ARE YOU? Haven’t seen you in ages! Truth be told, I haven’t exactly been here for you, Blog. I’ve been busy working on other projects you see Blog, so unfortunately I have neglected you to an extent. Oh no, no, no… Don’t ...
The Responsibilities… Hello my friends! The school year is well under way, and this site has once again fallen silent. I am seeing a pattern. We go silent, someone writes a post and then we have one or two more before hibernation grips the site in its evil claws once more… Alright, I will give Ben a break. He ...
Up the Gear? Is it possible to up the gear? All these things I feel like I should be getting out of the way, it seems totally possible, within easy reach. Whenever the time comes that I begin to get these things out of the way, time just disappears. More things gather, then the workflow is congested. No, it’s not ...
Keeping the Pace Hello there! This will only be a short post I’m afraid folks… more on that in a moment though. Just got off from two weeks of school holiday, the time when I should have been catching up on sleeping, getting everything done so that I can come back to school and get given a whole bunch more ...
WWDC Tweet No support for first gen iPad? Siriously?#iOS6 #WWDC — Ben Nelan (@Ben_A_Ball) June 11, 2012 Just testing a new feature of WordPress 3.4 folks, don’t mind me. -Ben
The Hunchbacks… Of 2012. Welcome back people! Looks like you are actually reading this, good good, keep it up… Ok to be honest, this site has had barely ANY activity in the last month. This is partly to do with VmB being ended, but I guess the main of the reason is that we have either been lazy, procrastinating or simply ...
Tablets Replacing Desktop Computers? You’ve probably heard it too. Tablets will be the thing of the future, we’ll all have one, and we’ll all use them for everyday tasks. They’re already creeping into our schools, into shops, hospitals, businesses… They’re all over the place. But does that mean they will replace desktop computers? I mean, when you think about it, ...
Mini-Update Greetings fellow being, It’s been yet again another procrastination Sunday. Not too long ago I was debating about making a YouTube series where I play games… I know, exciting yes? There’s definitely not a shortage of gaming videos on YouTube as it is, but I figure that this channel will give me an excuse to actually ...
The Infinity System Agggh! What is with the human race’s obsession with purposely stressing ourselves out?! We all live in these silly little worlds where these human created systems jerk values of things up and down, resulting in more work and more number fluctuation. Systems like businesses, inflation, education scoring, housing rates. I understand that the value of money ...
On and Off Just recently I was browsing around on YouTube for videos that would provide me with an excuse to procrastinate, when I came across a video of that incredibly popular building-block game called Minecraft. The video wasn’t someone building a house, or showing you the best way to kill the native wildlife of the game… they were showing ...
“A Strange Day in July” – (My Version) Hey all, I actually have a “short” story for you all today… enjoy… however I doubt that I’ll be reading this one out on Vlog My Blog. Our English teacher recently asked us to write a short story from the ‘suggestions’ listed in “The Mysterious of Harris Burdick” written by Chris Van Allsburg back in ...
Generation Z. Good day!! Just wanted to say hello. That is all. Thank you, from Fester. ________________________________ No. No no no. This is not the end of the post, I was only fooling you. Evil trickery I say. You must all hate me. But it occurs to me that you are still reading. So, continue to do so. You will ...
Bilbies VS Rabbits Hello there! How’s it going people? Did you find many egg-shaped chocolate bars? Of course this is in reference to the Easter that hopped along last Sunday, bringing with it sugar and fats that make dentists worldwide start packing their dental apocalypse survival kits. Funnily enough, the backbone of this post is not to do with ...
Strength… “Strength is the capacity to break a chocolate bar into four pieces with your bare hands – and then eat just one of the pieces” - Judith Viorst
Final Deciders “It is not the voters that decide the result of an election, the people that count the votes do.” - John Staline
Future Vision Despite the fact this post’s title is written in a way probably susceptible to having ‘meaning,’ it’s actually very literal. Vision as in actual sight, it’s not to do with what I believe the future will be like, though since we’re on the topic I think it will be very, very tech filled. I started thinking about ...
NeWs! Compatible Hello folks, Just a quick post testing a few new features of the website. First off you’ll notice that the Ben-A-Ball website has received a makeover, it’s now more compatible and less glitchy. It also works on mobile devices far better now. There is now a new ’Quick Post’ option in the sidebar, I actually used it to ...
Scribble’s Notepad 2.0 I’ve been working on this for a while, I have another version (2.1) coming out sometime in the near future as well, I was going to include the features from my current project file into version 2, but I just want to get this program out there now. Scribble’s Notepad 1 looked terrible (as you can ...

Why Photographers don’t like Zorb Balling I wrote this Story as a a part of my Creative Writing Class. I was handed the Homework last wednesday, and finished it about 10 minutes ago. I was working on this for literally no more than 20-30 minutes. We chose a picture each that was up front of the classroom, my one was a ...
Paranormal Activity – The Real-Life Version Ever been to Port Arthur? You know, the massive all-male, maximum security prison on the Tasman Peninsula that closed back in 1877? Well, recently I got to go to Port Arthur on a school camp, with a mass of Grade 7s… Anyway, the camp included a ghost tour of the Port Arthur historic site. I enthusiastically went ...

Cars: The Un-Animated Real Life Horror Film Hey folks, just going to casually talk about how I nearly died yesterday! Well technically every time we travel in a vehicle we ‘nearly’ die, and the chances of dying or having the very being that you are unplugged by an injury is pretty high. But really it’s not surprising at all when you remember that ...
How to Lose a Girlfriend in 1 Easy Step Before we start I need to clarify a few things. First off I will not make a habit of writing posts about love and companionship, this is the first on the blog and it’ll probably be the last. Secondly, when I say that this is something that my friend did, it is actually something that ...
How to Research a Game to See How Good it is You see games in the shops, the ones that everyone are playing and you have seen the ad’s and heard about the gameplay and etc, then you think to yourself whats so good about this game. Well I had to put up with this endless talk about Skyrim and Black Ops and to be honest ...
People Coming Out of Our Ears Welcome once again to a rather concerning post, from a rather concerning author. In Society class the other week I came across some rather worrying information in an old Atlas. Just like most other atlases this one had statistics, *shiver* in the back of the book. Yes, we could point fingers and say that these numbers ...
Street Fighter X Tekken news Street Fighter X Tekken is nearly upon us, with its cartoon-like graphics it will feature Street Fighter, as well as Tekken, hence the name of the game. It will come out on the 360 and the PS3 this coming March, I reckon it’s going to be pretty expensive, but it will be worth it. For more news ...
New Stuff! A fresh start+ Hello, how do you do!? So there’s going to be some big changes here, not changes that will force you to go explore and re-learn the website. Oh no, I think I’m done with the redesigning for now. But what is new will definitely clean up the site, introduce you a form of entertainment on Wednesday ...
The Joke, The Solution, The Consequences. Hey everyone, girls and guys alike! Welcome to the new school year, some are Grade 10, 9, even 11 in some cases (if you are going to college). I was sitting in English today, thinking away about what just to write about. School, my job, my family, maybe even a simple thing I noticed while walking ...

The Body of Control Water, nice cold water. Ahh, sorry about that, slightly distracted. SO! First day back at school, and it was relatively warm, and since I’m incredibly organised I didn’t bother buying a new drink bottle or cleaning one out in time. Hence, I spent the day in a roulette of thirst, all dependent on which classrooms had ...
“Ease of Use” I have had the worse morning in terms of technology being an absolute pain in the motherboard. Luckily my father locked his tool shed, otherwise I would be halfway through pounding this “Fast and Efficient” Personal Computer liar into millions of pieces. If you’re a PC fan boy, you can get stuffed, I don’t care if you ...
I’m Batman I had a pretty creepy dream last night, one which involved a lot of massively over sized spiders crawling all over the place and leaping on people and sticking their fangs into the people’s faces and… yeah all kind of affection. Why must my brain decide that spiders are better dream material than white fluffy bunny rabbits, ...
The Betrayal, the Post and the Boredom The Betrayal Awhile ago a friend of mine told me that I should get a Tumblr account. (If you’ve read my Tumblr post, this post will sound pretty familiar for a little while) Call it boredom, but I have finally followed up on that suggestion, behold, I have a Tumblr account. Really not seeing why I even ...
Rayman Origins Rayman origins is the first 2d game to ever come out on a console in years, people say its not that good that 2d sucks and 3D is better. This game suprised me because all of them people who said such things about this game are loosers. Rayman 2 was one of the games i ...
Feeding Conor – Da Da Da – Official Lyric Video: VidLog For the past few weeks I’ve been working on a lyric music video for a band called Feeding Conor.

2012 in 2012 seconds Well, it’s nearly 2012. The year that has it’s hyped up apocalyptic ending, it’s world of change, the year that everything is happening. 2012 is apparently going to be the biggest year in terms of technical advancement, but also the year of global reset and financial strain. “It’s going to be a difficult year,” the politicians ...
VidLog: Kortal Mombat Action Scene For the finale episode of NeWs!, a comedic school news show displayed in a few of the assemblies in 2011, we had an epic action scene in the style of a console game beat-em-up.

Merry Christmas Well, It’s officially Christmas day. I really don’t feel like writing anything at the moment, yeah, pretty poor effort for someone that’s supposed to be a blogger.

NeWs! Finale The NeWs! Finale ended off the series, and the year, with a creepy, yet loud and clear: “BANG!” The NeWs! Episode Finale was shown on the final day of school in 2011.

The dream of you that killed me My eyes are bloodshot. My vision is obscured by the Tears that roll down my cheeks And into this pool of sorrow. My head screams at me. Voices of hate and envy Infultrate my mind. I’m going crazy. My longing heart is failing me, These scars have been dug way too deep. My love for you is killing me, The tears I cry are making weak.

MyState Film Festival: VOID I briefly mentioned the MyState Film Festival in my last post, and here’s the official follow-up. This year MyState Financial ran its student film festival again, I do believe it’s their 10th consecutive festival so far, but I could be wrong about that. Anyways, this year I started work on my entry, starting on it a bit later in the year ...
Time to fix that Hey there! Whoooah . . . rather excited/nervous . . . basically because MyState has finally uploaded all the MyState Film Festival entrants to their YouTube page, and mine happens to be one of them. As shabby as it may be, and as much as it annoys me to see every little glitch and hear every ...

The Tasmanian Goverment has destroyed the education life Lately there have been rumours of that there are schools that are going to be closed because of supposed loss of money. Pfft rubbish.
