Reading Notes: Epified Mahabharata Section E

Source: Epified TV

After watching this set of Epified videos, I was inspired by the slaying of Jarasandha. I think this story could be told in a much more interesting way, specifically when it comes to the fight between Bhima and Jarasandha.

I think the idea of Bhima tearing his enemy in half only for him to reform is cool, but the idea of Krishna tearing a blade of glass in two as a hint for Bhima is kind of stupid. Instead, I would write it so that Bhima fights Jarasandha on his own, with Krishna and Arjuna being otherwise occupied by some other force. Bhima would have to figure out the secret to defeating Jarasandha on his own.

Perhaps he would even see a leaf split in two by the force of their battle, which would rage throughout the palace and into the gardens. This would serve as the hint he needs to separate the halves of Jarasandha to prevent him from reforming.

I just think that would make for a more interesting story and would be epic. Nuff said.

Introduction to a Mechanical Engineering Major

My name is Callum Maguire, and I am a senior majoring in Mechanical Engineering. The coolest class I took last semester was AC Systems, which explored how air conditioning systems work and how they cool down rooms. Get it? Coolest class? Jokes aside, it was a very interesting course that opened my eyes to how complex a system the air conditioning in a building is, as even a single room can be a lot to deal with as far as calculations go. I was raised on Star Wars and Tolkien, so they happen to be some of my favorite works, however I'm also very fond of superhero movies, sitcoms like Community and IT Crowd, as well as sci-fi and fantasy novels. Long story short, I'm a nerd. Best movie I've seen recently is The Last Jedi, which is something of a controversial opinion I guess, but I don't care. I enjoyed it, and that's all there is to it. I recently re-read one of my childhood favorite novels, Redwall, which was a nice trip down memory lane. It was clear that it wasn...

Week 7 Story: Demon Days

Long ago, in the land of Midor, there lived a humble man by the name of Shakiro. He was a simple man, and he led a simple life. One day, when Shakiro was wandering about the forest, searching for food, he encountered a a creature that had become trapped by some kind of strange apparatus. When he approached the odd creature, he was surprised to hear the creature speak to him! "Hello there, human. I was trapped here, unable to escape my bindings without assistance from a human... I don't imagine you'd be willing to help, so just run away now like the rest of your kind." This perplexed Shakiro, as he couldn't figure out why the creature would just assume he wouldn't help out. If Shakiro was anything, he was generous! He looked the creature up and down and decided he seemed harmless enough. "I will not run away!" Exclaimed Shakiro, "I'm going to free you, my friend." He took care to break the chains that held the creatu...
